I dont see how this could affect me
your essentially still memorising and adapting but from a more structured exemplar response
Even if it isnt my paragraph, memorising and repeat adapting it to different questions kinda negates it??
Take ideas and quotes from it sure, but if you’re gonna spend all that time adapting you can spend the time making it your own
People who agree to be exemplars and share their work wouldn’t appreciate being copied

I have seen some of my classmates attempt to do the same thing and the results... weren't great. By directly memorising someone else's exemplar can really limit you especially under timed and stressful environments, you might panic and just regurgitate whatever you remembered instead of actively answering the question, you also limit your own understanding of the text by simply copying analysis from someone else.

the ATAR cutoff won't change because it's a percentile system :,)
but what it means that you might get a higher ATAR this year with a 90 than last year if less people are performing at that same standard

guys does anybody have any general English advice, genuinely struggling for consistency and I really wanna push my marks into the higher band 6 range because rn it's holding my 10 units back :,) (we don't look at chemistry. chemistry is cooked.)

Idk how ts works but yessssssss
basically they internally scale people's marks and then add the 10 units worth together to make an aggregate
and then, based on this aggregate, they rank everyone
then like the top 50 people are 99.95, then 99.90, etc.
so if everybody performed worse across the board you may still get the atar you want

Well thats why you have adapting practice so you adapt to the point where the piece becomes second nature to you (just like if it was your own one)
