Inspection of exam worth it?

[cake]

Ciao ragazzi

I recently ordered a statement of marks for my Italian exam after receiving only a B+ for GA3.
Today the statement arrived, and it turns out that I got 58% in the written exam, with 0/15 for Section 3.

I felt that Section C was my strongest section in the exam; one of the prompts heavily suited an essay I had written a week earlier.
Admittedly, a native speaker helped me write that essay, and the language used was beyond that of the study design, but I felt that it was necessary to use such language in order to obtain a 14-15/15 (in practice exams, I was stuck at 13/15).
Regardless, I don't see how that would warrant me getting a 0/15, nor could I find any rules / regulations regarding such a thing on the VCAA website.

In other sections of the exam, I also feel that I was marked very harshly (0/4 for a question in Section B and a few .5 marks)

For reference, but probably of little relevance, I was averaging in the high 80's for practice exams, and I walked out of the exam expecting 90%+.



So basically, should I get my exam inspected?


Reasons for
- Study score and ATAR may be boosted slightly higher if I'm able to have it reassessed

Reasons against
- I would have to go back to school next year
- I might not be able to have it reassessed (maybe it won't be considered an 'exceptional circumstance')
- I have to pay more money (an extra $23), possibly for nothing
- My ATAR is high enough to get into my first preference anyway, why bother

Trust your gut feeling. That way, you'll have peace of mind and can move on!

Exactly; why bother? The only point of having an ATAR is to get into a course, and seeing as you can get into your first preference, there is absolutley no reason to get your exam inspected.

Unless of course you are losing sleep over it and want to be certain that you have been marked fairly. But if I were you, I wouldn't bother.

Cheers for the responses guys, I think I'll leave it.

Ultimately, my ATAR is only for getting into the course I want / scholarships, and this won't affect either.
