Term 4 is, I think, the best time to begin analysing HSC results. Students have sat the exam and you've seen the paper, so it's a good time to write down how you think your students went.
The teachers who taught the students don't mark the HSC exams and never see how their students answered them, yet the exams are worth half of every student's HSC mark. Writing down what you expect now is one way to see into that. In the new year you can ask "Is this what I expected?" rather than just "How did they go?"
It doesn't matter if you're wrong. I can't think of any results I've had where I wasn't surprised by some students. What matters is writing it down before you see the results.
Fill this in once for each class you teach. Completing it for a class might take half an hour or so. It's worth taking the time to think about this a little. It'll give you a helpful basis for analysis come Term 1 next year.
Have a copy of the exam paper beside you. If you mark it up as you go, keep it, because in the new year the RAP gives you question numbers, not the questions.
At the end you'll download a Word document. Save it wherever your school or faculty asks, and keep the file name as it is so it's easy to find again.
