Shivika古普塔,从悉尼女子高中,她的HSC以及ATAR 在这个月被 更正,在 NSW Board of Studies, Teaching and Educational Standards (BOSTES) 发现她的现代历史的被错误得评分
Feeling wronged by a worse-than-expected mark in your HSC is a common experience, but for a small handful of students each year, the feeling is entirely justified.
Shivika Gupta, from Sydney Girls High School, had both her HSC marks and her Australian Tertiary Admission Rank altered this month after the NSW Board of Studies, Teaching and Educational Standards (BOSTES) conceded that her exam paper had been marked incorrectly.
Ms Gupta, 18, immediately felt something might have been wrong when she saw her modern history external examination mark, which was almost 10 points below her school assessment mark for the same subject.

"At first I just felt really embarrassed because I thought I must have just done really terribly during the exam," she said when contacted by Fairfax Media this week.

"But I thought about it more logically and thought that was such an anomaly – I'd been pretty consistent throughout the year – I couldn't have done so terribly."
Making matters worse was the fact that the original ATAR she received, when combined with her bonus points, was 0.05 points below the 2013 cut-off for her chosen course – combined law at the University of New South Wales.
So Ms Gupta decided to appeal, and requested a "results check". The check showed that the second half of a two-part question, which she had answered in a separate booklet, had been marked a "non-attempt". On revision, she was given 13 out of 15 for that question.
As a result, her ATAR went up.
"In the end I'm just happy because I've gotten into my course," Ms Gupta said, "but I'm still very outraged about how that could have happened to anyone."
A spokeswoman for BOSTES confirmed that there had been "incomplete marking" of two students' modern history papers at the same school.
Because the results of those two students were changed, a "re-moderation" was performed for all students doing that subject at the school, resulting in a further five students' marks being adjusted.
"While changes to results are very rare in relation to the total number of marks issued, there are instances in every HSC," the spokeswoman said.
Marks for 11 students in the most recent HSC cohort have been changed so far, after about 460 students asked for a results check, BOSTES said. The checks cost $16 a course, and $31 for English exams, though the fee is refunded if an anomaly is detected.
Other reasons results may be changed include the determination of an illness or misadventure appeal or on the outcome of a malpractice allegation.
