helloo my friend has a couple of questions abt this so I'm here to ask them for her
she's currently going thru some circumstances and doesn't know if she'll be able to complete her hsc exams, can she still get an atar and if yes, is that gonna be like an average of her internal marks lined up with her ranks or something? she tried calling nesa yesterday but they never picked up lol, she's trying again today but another issue is that she can't even apply for eas for this issue bc her circumstances don't fit in any category

just wanted u guys' opinions on this, thank you!

Your friend should apply for illness and misadventure, which is the process that aims to support students who may be unwell or suffer from an accident (or some other form of misadventure) at the time of their HSC exams. NESA requires a separate application and supporting evidence for each HSC exam that your friend is unable to sit.

If your friend's applications are upheld for all her subjects, she can still receive an ATAR. In such a case, the way that HSC exam marks and overall HSC marks will be determined will depend on the specific subjects as well as whether your friend is able to attend and sit her HSC exams. From your post, it seems that she would not be able to attend and sit her HSC exams, so we can disregard some of the possibilities. The following may therefore apply to your friend:
  • If a subject has only one HSC exam, your friend will receive her moderated Assessment Mark as her Examination Mark (HSC exam mark), leading to the Assessment Mark contributing 100% of the overall HSC mark in the subject.
  • If a subject has more than one exam, your friend will also receive her moderated Assessment Mark as her Examination Mark. However, if a particular component of the exam(s) is affected, your friend may receive a mark that is determined from other unaffected exams in the subject.
  • In the case of subjects with optional HSC exams, such as Category B subjects, your friend will also receive her moderated Assessment Mark as her Examination Mark.
I hope this helps! :D
