our teachers told us apparently it is against bos regulations to put your cumulative mark or rank on your report.
So our final yr 12 reports have our trial marks and trial ranks, which is a load of bs.
Subjects i was ranked 1 by heaps in i didn;t care for the trial and am still ranked 1 now but ranked about 10th in the trial, so my report will say i came 10th in that subject.

Are all the schools giving out spasticated misleading reports, or is it just my retarded school.
Cause u gotta hand in final report for scholarship applications etc and they are just misleading pieces of *$&@

I'm not even sure I get another report.

But I'm pretty sure our reports gave us an overall result and rank.

our school said exactly the same thing as yours gordo. Except they won't even give us our ranks for the trials.. we only find out our ranks after all the hsc exams have finished and then have 2 days to make a complaint if we think there has been a calculation error. it's really dodgy... they keep saying they can't give it to us because of Board of Studies rules, but if that is the case then why does almost every other school in the state have their ranks???

im think the school is not allowed to give you your raw mark (total of all ass. tasks). which is very silly becuase you can quick easily add them up yourself...

but they are allowed to give you your rank as a total of all ass. taks. so on our report it has our exam mark and yearly ranking.

we have some good teachers that are in the know on this sorta stuff but wouldnt break the rules. so im thinking thats how it is meant to work!!

yeah you can't get your overall mark or rank, bs but that's what they do

and if they give you your overall mark or rank they can get into trouble

You can easily calculate you're raw mark, however the school isn't allowed to give out the scaled final mark they send into the BOS, BOS policy.

im sure they can give you the overall rank. cause it cannot be adjusted by anyone or thing. whereas a mark is adjusted and scaled.

we have senior HSC markers and board of studies teachers in our school. im sure they know what the procedure is and would not risk their positions over something as trivial like that!!

correct
they want you to find out at results on the Board of studies students website
my school told us that they can't give out ranks anymore
and that my year (last year) was going to be the last year to see ranks and final marks in the final report

Our school is the same...apparently its against the bos rules to give out ranks, the only rank you'll know if if you come first in a topic coz at Farewell Graduation (24 sept) they give prizes for people who ranked 1st in a subject

*shrug*
i dont think its that big a deal... but its lucky that they let us check whether it was right or not. for extension english they put my trial mark as 10/25 when it should've been 17/25
