Help with getting a statement of marks

[mitchdow]

Hi Guys,
I was just wondering, in Legal Studies I have barely dropped a mark all year, and felt really good in the exam, coming out with A+ A+ A+ however with a 42 study score. This is good, but the rank 2 in my cohort ended up with a 48. Should I make an application to see a statement of my marks? I don’t want to seem petty, but I really thought I did better in the exam. Thanks!!

Hi Mitch! This isn’t petty at all. Applying for a statement of marks is due process if you’re ever iffy about your results. VCAA assessors, markers and publishers are humans too, so the best course of action for you right now is to ease your confusion by doing all you can to get your questions answered. And that includes applying for a statement of marks.

Even if things come out the same, congratulations on your score! Anything above a forty is admirable.

Edit: also, Legal is an extremely competitive subject. A difference of 5 or 6 marks in the final exam can separate you and rank 2 drastically.
