I have heard so many people in my school saying they have tutors who just write scaffold essays for them in HSC English. From the sound of it, all they need to do is basically memorise the essay and get a band 6. Is this true or are they just bluffing and if so where can I find one?

its true. my entire english class is like that, they get their tutors to do everything for them bc they're lazy and cant study for themselves. makes u wonder why they're doing just fine in English but flunking other subjects
ye it happens. spent my hsc year trying to beat english tutors for my internal ranks.
this is why HSC English is a joke to me
Agreed and it's undoubtedly the hardest subject for me. I am confident that I can guarantee band 6 for all my other subjects, but for English, I am sitting around at mid-band 4 (I am legit getting higher raw assessment marks for ext 2 math than eng advanced like WTF??)

Yeah it’s true but it’s funny when they flunk reading comp
It's the fact that english adv is subjective versus every other subject being objectiveNot surprised you have a higher raw mark in ext 2

Is this an actual thing? I’m assuming it’s the people with privates
Yeah unfortunately tutors write essays and people just memorise and regurgitate them

Is it mainly selective schools doing this?
i didnt mind the regurgitation during exams much. it was the internal assignments that english tutors wrote which pissed me off. was so hard to have a high rank during internal assignments without a tutor. had to absolutely pop off in the few exams we had.
and while it probably mainly isnt exactly 'writing', the tutor likely edits so much it becomes essentially rewritten.
Yeah true. I think it's fine when the student understands their piece and uses the tutor as a crutch to improve their writing, but when someone who has no clue what the words on their page mean because someone else wrote it, and then they just blurt it out on paper without understanding it (and they still do well!) - it's just stupidly annoying.
but what can we do, oh well
