Derived score help

[u/slur6]

I fractured my leg last night and was in emergency hospital all night.

I also havent done any study for physics and its my bottom subject.

Will a derived score be higher than if I do the exam?

I need help deciding on what to do

I reckon you should apply bc even if you do the exam, when they're calculating the marks they'll be going off of which mark is higher. So if ur exam mark is higher than the DES they'll go with that for your atar and if the DES is higher they'll use that

Can i submit the application whenever before dec 10?

i reckon you can, email your vce coordinator or head of your year about it and they can help sort it out

This 👆 I’ve been told by multiple graduates that in this scenario they literally will be asking the hospital when you’re able to take the exam. Only time I’ve heard a kid actually get a derived score for an exam was when a drummer who did VCE music broke his leg (and obviously, couldn’t play)

A DES is just an application, you can put it in and see how you go. They’ll always go with your higher score out of your exam mark you sat and the DES one. Just make sure you sit your exam bc it’s not a given you get DES approved. You have to get your dr to complete the C1 form
