I am person A. I was far ahead in English and just got the worst trial marl ever for my discovery essay as my head teacher didnt like me doing a kids movie for my related text 😬. So im worried about how bieng 2nd will effect the moderation process, even if its only by 0.7

Cool! Don't stress about Trials, it happens! In a class of two, you have to work together, so just make sure you are giving your peer a hand and that they do the same for you. It is in your best interests to work together ;D

That someone is incorrect but it’s a common misconception! It is the HSC mark for the course, see the section at the top of the Top Achiever’s List:
