Need inspiration!
Damn don't know if it gave the user who posted this inspiration but It sure did to me congrats for beating your start of year goalDuring school:
Struggled through the first half of the year, slacked off barely studied- didnt even bother trying my hardest for mid years and then proceeded to stress abt possibilities of not getting a 90+ atar (if you see my first few posts you can see the details of the crisis). Picked myself up during term 3 of y12 got all As in exams. Was counting on trials to pull me up completely...then they were cancelled, all weightings changed and suddenly mid-terms weighed like crazy (40% most of them, compared to mid years 20% and 30%). Realised that it was a big problem.
2 months before hsc:
i decided to put my head down completely and studied 9hrs a day- complete productive studying (with 8/9 hrs of sleep, at least 2 papers a day with proper revision and marking).
The best thing i did was learn HOW TO ANSWER QUESTIONS (no matter how much content you know, if you don't know what the markers are looking for nothing is worth it)
ATAR aim progression/ what it was looking like i'd get
start of y12: 95+
after T1: 85+
after T2 (mid year scare): 77-85
after T3: 85+
after T4 (weighting change): 80s
after HSC: 85-93
safe to say beat my start of year goal. So I'll be honest anything is possible if you put your head down and PRODUCTIVELY study. Just remember HSC is a marathon, not a sprint, there will always be rocky moments but the only thing that matters is if you pick yourself up and to not let the lows get to you.
Hope this gave you inspiration and gl in your studies![]()
Just know it's never too late to turn around your marks.Need inspiration!
Anything is possible to turn around in the HSC - especially when it comes to internals. I got 60% on one of my Modern History assessments and thought I was gonna do awful but ended up pulling a 96 in the HSC - so don't get discouraged, you'll always have externals to do great in.i got 50% of my first english assessment, is a band 5 still possible?
Thats true, but I got 50% despite actually putting effort in the assessment and sending a draft. Im worried about this, cause the teacher who marked my assessment gave me useless feedback that wasnt beneficial, and I feel clueless on what I did wrong.Anything is possible to turn around in the HSC - especially when it comes to internals.

Don't stress it too much. I was in a very similar position and the teacher I had did WAY more harm to me than good. I'd suggest trying looking for teachers/ex-students who will give you the feedback you need and I'm sure your effort will pay off. For all you know, you might just have a bad teacher and the hsc markers are usually much nicer.Thats true, but I got 50% despite actually putting effort in the assessment and sending a draft.

pure factswelcome to english my friend
despite working as hard as i could for the subject i most hated i ended up with trash internals for the subject bc the stupid bitchy english teachers at my school had no clue what they were doing
i pulled a 94 external (not bc of my shit english teacher who was more or less useless) and all the advice i can give u is try and mimic what the well ranked students do for all ur internal assessments and then ditch that completely and grind essays in ur own style for externals
english is a scam period
i dont wanna make this an english rant thread bc we all know how that goes but yes istfg that english only exists so english teachers dont end up unemployed and homelesspure facts
stfg no cap 90% of the english periods mean shit because its just random garbage that doesn't even to contribute to assignments, more of a ramble than anything. the only periods that matter are the ones where the teacher talks abt the assignment and most of the time its vague lmao.
bro i wanna say more but this gonna be english rant pt 2 so im gonna save @jimmysmith560 precious time by not turning this into the tangenti dont wanna make this an english rant thread bc we all know how that goes but yes istfg that english only exists so english teachers dont end up unemployed and homeless
lmao and u got 96 eco, that teacher took the Lthis one isn’t too big but my econ teacher told our class at the end of year 11 that none of us were band 6 material but a few of us ended up with high band 6s in the hsc
