    What do i need to score in my exams in order for me to achieve a '56' atar?

    Just write something, anything if possible that is relevant to the question, this would easily get you a 56+ ATAR, as the median ATAR is around 64.

    Did the first exam feel a little surreal to anyone?

    After all the HSC is just another set of exams, through both our preliminary and HSC years we have been doing exams over and over again, what makes this exam any different (despite it's higher weighting)?
