im just curious if it ever happens and if anyone has any stories of whats happened, i assume with a huge meticulous vcaa system there arent many mistakes but then i think that people are only human. is there like a process for this stuff?

===waiting for nliu to reply===  (EDIT: he's faster than I remember, maybe coz I haven't been on in nearly a week) :P

kidding, but yeah I know of his case^ and one other. So yes, it has happened before but teachers will correct it for you, don't worry :))

concentrate more on getting 100% for ALL of your exams, the sac scores will work themselves out :D

Yep. It happened to me last year; I'm not sure exactly what happened but I think my last Methods SAC score wasn't entered in at all and my SAC score was downgraded to an A, which dropped my study score to a 46. On the day of the results, I phoned my Methods teacher and she confirmed that there was an error on the school's part. They informed VCAA and VCAA fixed up my study score within a day.

thats a pretty good improvement, lucky you saw that !
how did you know it was wrong though? do you get your actual sac score in the statement of marks? or dont you just get the adjusted? LOL

I know it was wrong because my SAC score was 98/100 at school, but the online statement of results said I got an A for GA1, which I later identified to be SACs. 98 can't possibly be an A. Especially when I got an A+ for both exams and the other people on my SAC score or above got 49s and 50s.
