what if you cant adapt them for exams? or do you know the content. When ever i memorise essays word for word (say for an inclass assessment where we have been given the question in advance) i just know them as essays, i cant pull out the individual ideas

well, my tutor is a teacher and also a senior marker, so he knows the hsc inside out. whenever he writes me an essay, he guarantees me that the question will be the same, or very very very close. i trust him. he's a good man. he's never let me down.

Mate, the HSC is a game. If you don't cheat, others will, and those that do will get ahead of you and end up fucking you in the ass.

Enjoy Uni, I'm sure tutors will do your assessments for you too.

I suppose, honestly, i would rather have a mediocre mark that i knew was wholly mine, rather then 100 percent, knowing it was not real.

You see, it IS real. As I said above, the HSC is a game, so play it!

Have you ever played a game of Monopoly where the winner didn't cheat? The person who plays honestly ends up the loser.

Yes I have.

Really, do whatever you want, you're only cheating yourself and it'll soon hit you that tutors can't help you throughout your whole course of uni.

I'm not rich, in fact, I'm far from it. I go to tutoring only once a week, and even though my tutor does my assessments for me, I still have to study.
