Different texts do not scale/align differently.
They do, I checked up raw marks on the raw marks section. The easier texts don't get aligned as much as the harder texts. I know of people who got the same total raw mark but a different score appearing on their HSC results as a result.

I think they just get aligned to a similar average

Idk but the reported averages/median for each text are ALWAYS almost the same, at most it's like 0.5 or something

i can imagine that this was the case last year... the question was way too easy, so it wouldn't have mattered what text you did. our question was basically last year's but harder, so i imagine it would happen to a greater extent this year.

Yeah, they do. :/
For paper 2 they do but i have never heard about section 3 of paper 1. I was always under the impression that paper 2 was aligned based on the results in paper 1.

No.
The texts scale against each other and the difficulty of doing that text with the question, aligning never uses outside factors such as how people went in paper 1. What you said was kind of stupid.

you will never get scaled/aligned based on texts that's why they make the questions generic. Same case with paper 2 hence they have individual questions for each prescribed text.
