The rubrics are generally the same every year. You should base your responses on that rubric when answering the question (best done by directly addressing it), because they indicate precisely what the markers are looking for. If you read the marking criteria for each HSC question, you'll notice that at least one or two dot points in the mid-high mark/band range specify how well you tackled that rubric.

The beauty about the marking scheme is that even if you didn't read or understood the question and chucked in some memorised essay without answering the question, as long as it addresses the rubric well enough then you'll get about 70% credit for it. If you instead answered the question only and did not tackle the rubric well enough, then you'll probably only get like 40%-50% credit for it. So in summary, addressing that rubric is crucial, because you have to write your response in terms of the rubric (i.e. the rubric comes straight from the syllabus so you have to show that you've satisfied the syllabus outcomes).

On the other hand, some schools (like mine) don't include or don't include enough of the HSC examination rubric into their assessment marking scheme. So what your teachers are looking for may not be the same as to what the official exam markers are looking for...(which I found out from my school the hard way...:()
