    Is this considered plagiarism?

    haha i don't think the bos actually puts your essay into an online database to check if its been plagiarised what happens is that teachers read a lot of stuff from sparknotes and other common sites to familiarise themselves i remembered in yr 11 my teacher read out a passage from a "band...

    ATAR & School Rank

    it depends, schools ranked in the 550+ may only have a single 1 band 6 in the entire cohort (hence why the distinguished achievers percentage is like <0.2) whereas a school ranked in 100+ have a greater proportion of students with band 6s but obviously if you work hard (which you have)...

    Belonging Related Texts

    i really can't see why they should mark you down because one of your two related text is of the same medium obviously if all three are the same ... go figure

    What atar can i expect with these marks?

    the school rank does matter the lowest ranking schools might have a top atar in the high 80s

    Confused...?

    +1 personally i think high internal rankings are impressive because you've been nail bitingly competiting with your other classmates through many assessments, assignments and practicals throughout your HSC year. Why should you be punished if you happen to stuff up a one day exam in Oct/Nov?

    Would anyone recommend memorising their creative writing piece?

    i find it good to have stories involving an oldie and a young person because you might have an image stimuli of either one

    Hsc rank query

    Rankings for the internal, but after your HSC trials you should really help boost the performance of the 5 ppl in your class (i.e. work together) to pwn the externals

    Is it difficult to get an ATAR of 80 - 90?

    a well ranked school isn't a top 100 school, more like a top 50 imo anyway, half of your subjects scale quite well and the other half is a bit of a let down, but the effect of scaling diminishes if you do well in all of them so get good ranks and you'll be on track

    What if I'm the bottom ranked student in a selective school?

    remember that just because you're in a high ranking selective school doesn't mean the last ranking student still gets an ATAR of 90+ someone in ruse got a UAI in the 60s in the past lol

    possible 90<ATAR after bombing midcourse?

    anythings possible, but if you lack the will for the half yearlies, it'll probably show up in the trials and externals
