I'm wondering what if someone wrote something that're totally irrelevant to the water tank question?

Like... wages, bad debts, discount revenue on the debit side, etc. lol
It's all over now..

They "Attempted" it.... so I suppose they'd get the marks.
It'll be so funny in the assesment report.

I think it's if they attempted the paper, not the question..

Really?
But my teacher asked the class as a joke: "Did anyone left the question blank? Hopefully not."

It's confirmed, anyone who attended the exam gets 4 out of 4 for that question.

Does that mean the cutoff for A+ won't be as low as we expected, seeing as everyone automatically gets 4 marks.

Giving 4 marks to everyone isn't fair for the people who actually did it right (not that i did).

I'm thinking if vcaa does give us those marks, the cutoff will be no less than 79 or 80

It is fair. Only way it isn't is for the people who spent a lot of time doing it, regardless of whether they got it right or not.

Yeah, i guess cutoff for A+ would be like low 80.

I don't think it's unfair for the people who did it right, as it is unfair for some people in the first place.

Weird how the topic isn't in the Unit 3 study design but is in the Neville Box textbook briefly, in a Unit 3 chapter.
I don't mind everyone getting the marks, i guess it is only fair

Maybe that's a factor why the question was approved on the exam, I guess they didn't take into consideration all the other textbooks, or didn't do their research thoroughly enough.

My teacher said there will be some sort of verification as to what the examiners will do some time next month (possibly on the VCAA website)

It's already confirmed that everyone who sat the paper will get 4 marks for the question. Moreover, approval is not based on the content provided in textbooks; it is dependent on the content outlined in the study design.
