    A 'THESIS' question

    Hey guys I'm just wondering, will you be marked harder if you use a thesis in an essay that is similar to a past question in the hsc in order to answer the question given?

    GENERAL HSC QUERY! help please

    Say for example everybody performed low in a certain hsc subject examination due to a hard exam. Like, the highest scores in the whole state were band 5. Will the highest person in the state (say who got 89), still be rewarded in relation to rank? Will it affect the atar just because its low?
