According to my jap teacher, after all the sacs are ordered from highest to lowest; they teacher can change the order if they think that someone else should be higher than where they are currently ranked. :s Is this true?

In theory, I doubt it. In reality, of course it would be happening. Albeit unfair and/or illegal, I think that there definitely could be some cases where this should be applied (cough m@tty), but I don't really know how a teacher can prove it

The teacher can do whatever they want with ranks. It's just entering numbers into the system But if they get audited they'll be in trouble.

My Software Development teacher just 'fixed' the ranks; he didn't change the ranks, but he changed the SAC marks so it was more organised, instead of no.1 having 99/100, 2 having 98/100 and 3 having 95/100; he fixed it so that 3 had 97/100...

I DO know that teachers can't change your letter grade.

Woaaahhh, I'm suddenly really concerned!

What if you mess around in class all year, but still consistently score better than anyone else, at the end of the year the teacher could hypothetical strip you of number one rank just because he/she doesn't think you will do will in the exam D:

Most teachers do not tamper with this. I know none of mine would.

But if your teacher is of this mentality, then if you have projected a bad image of yourself you could be punished (albeit unjustly)..

Rounding matters a lot in SAC marks :p
Over all the SACs you can lose more marks than someone else but get ranked higher than them

I definitely knew of some teachers 'cranking up' English SAC scores for people who they think 'deserved' it, or to even out scores. I think teachers/VCE coordinators also send off predictive study scores or something to VCAA.

I think they do that in my school too. I know a guy who got 100/100 for his SACs (from his school) and definitely believes his mark was bumped up.

When the marks are sent off, is it ranked in your class or in the whole school?
