silver lining - if marks are lower, the aggregate cutoff for a high atar is also lower?

The only question is whether unis will reduce their cutoff enough for me to get a spot?

Idk how ts works but yessssssss

 

[killer queen]

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.)

silver lining

I love that song

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

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.

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)

it also depends on the question. what if they ask u to talk about a specific story/poem? What if the question is entirely different from the exemplar which u have? Adapting your exemplar essay fully to answer a question is gonna make you lose marks instead and memorising so many exemplar paragraphs is gonna create higher cognitive overload. rather you can save your time by just memorising quotes/stats/case studies or whatever. ur supposed to feel inspired by exemplars and understand how to write a band 6 response, not copy it or adapt it. However, you CAN adapt essay plans instead. They're more flexible and they give u a guide on what u wanna write on test day.

Guys is year 12 adv logs like a lot harder than year 11? Cause I’m going to the procon workshops and my school still hasn’t covered year 11 exponentials and logs. My school is so slow I actually can’t. I mean I did do some basic rules in year 10 so hopefully I don’t get too cooked
