Yes I am entitled to my opinion. Just because you say it is abusive does not mean it is. If you look at your post one could say you commit the deadly sins you accuse me of. You know pot, kettle, black.
As to ranking. The BoS in a sense ranks schools, TAFes etc and the teacher ranks the students. BoS ranking has a historical component based on a schools results over time.
If you do Art at OTEN your assessment mark can rise by as much as 5 marks because historically they get excellent results. In ranking imagine it as a coiled spring. Grab the spring and pull down. The students at the top show little downward movement but as your marks go down your results are more likely to be a lot less.
So the trick is to study hard do well and hope for marks over 85 for the least downward movement.
What do you do if your assessments are indicating you won't get into Uni? You have plan A, Plan B, Plan C and Plan D.
Plan A: Get your UAI and go to Uni
Plan B: Apply for high demand courses at TAFE before September 30 like photography, Travel Agents , Sound Engineer etc
Plan C: Apply for non-award course at Macquarie Uni pay fees. Scholarship for Indigenous students. After passing 4 subjects walk into 2nd semester of degree of your choice study one semester do well and transfer to Uni of your choice or stay at Macquarie. Friend who did Yr 11 but not 12 admitted through this program this year and doing well. Had been out of school for 12 months.
Apply for Diploma of Languages at Macquarie Uni, no fees, Hecs based, no qualifications required. Study 4 subjects then tansfer to degree of your choice. Must apply before September 30 Applications open August.
Plan D: Want to do Medicine and didn't get the marks enrol in Science and do well transfer at the end of the year. Want to do law at UNSW apply for Social Work and then transfer course at the end of the semester.
Follow these plans and you will have choices and somewhere to go if Plan A fails
