VCAA Changing Marks - Mid Year Exam

[HarveyD]

Hey guys

Just wondering how common it is for VCAA to make a mistake while marking/mark unfairly and also whether or not they would change your mark even you did find something?
Wouldnt it affect the grade distributions if they changed someones mark? :S

Howso? They're given strict guides by which to mark by, so it can't really be waaayyy off the mark

whether or not they would change your mark even you did find something?

Well they'd kinda have to, but it wouldn't be willingly, afterall they have to admit to making a mistake

Wouldnt it affect the grade distributions if they changed someones mark? :S

I doubt 1 person would change it very much, and even if it did, it wouldn't really affect SS, which is calculated from the raw marks anyway...

Do you reckon you have been? I feel for you if you have, t's gonna be a longggg and tiresome process ahead if it is

lol just been reading a lot of posts about people unhappy about marks and it made me worried D:

Ive been too scared to open my results still, so thats why I wanted to know lol, but considering the small chance of any mistakes, i'll just leave it

Don't 'really want the hassle of inquiring about it now, time would be better suited to studying for sacs/exams
anyway thanks for that ^^

Well just so you know, leaving it closed won't change the mark ....

Haha, isn't it better to look at your marks ASAP so you can have time to "recover" and perhaps move on and learn from your marks? As opposed to living in denial..

I got my marks nearly as soon as I was allowed, I dithered for like, 4 minutes until rushing into the VCE office.
