I go to a top 5-10 school, and usually do very well, but the stress of Covid this year really impacted my motivation and desire to study. I started year 12 with the goal of getting a 99 ATAR with the intention of getting into medicine, but have lowered it to a 98 (optimistic) or 96/97 (realistic). I'm currently panicking a lot because I have a physics trial on Monday that I'm seriously under-prepared for. My current rank is 9/24 with a mark of 75 (topped the first exam, below average in second).
Hypothetically, if my rank drops to 14-16/24, but I got a really high external mark (I know that I'm capable of it b/c of first exam), could I still scrape a band 6? I'm worried because our school isn't fantastic at physics - in 2019, nine people got a band 6 in it. This situation is entirely my fault lol but any realistic advice would be appreciated.
Edit: I'm hoping to get into Uni of Newcastle med, UWS med or UQ med because my UCAT was decent so I technically only need a 95-97, even though it'll limit my options. I've accepted that I'm definitely not going to be getting the ATAR for unis that need 99/99.5+. I don't think it's going to be detrimental to my uni prospects if I do 'terrible' is all I'm saying.
