Idk how ts works but yessssssss
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.
