    Is a 98/99+ ATAR looking achievable at this stage?

    Perhaps, if you keep working at this pace, you could get these higher marks, but I must emphasise how difficult it is. Internal raw marks only say so much, and I'm not too sure as to the difficulty of your school's papers. But keep trying!

    I personally just felt the NSB papers were of comparable difficulty to the actual HSC papers - but I guess that may be a bit subjective

    There isn't really a way to determine whether it was 'easy' or 'hard'. If you go onto the site thsc, and find similar past papers from schools like James Ruse/Sydney Boys (which have hard papers), North Sydney Boys (similar to HSC), and then some random school (could potentially be easy), then...

    I'm not 100% what you mean. But, my school had reasonably difficult 4U papers, and I averaged a raw of about 87% or so, and in the end my HSC mark was 94. Other people averaged 88-90% and got 95 and 96. The important thing is to get the good marks in the biggest weighted tests (i.e. Pre-Trials...

For maths, I went through quite a few past papers and revised what I had already learnt (I'm not great at pre-learning, but if it works...

    Cohort ranking for my subjects?

    Well, of course, the scaling matters. It would be more likely for you to do better if you came first in 4U maths than first in something like food tech (internally). That being said, if you came in the bottom of 4U maths but state ranked in food tech, usually food tech would result in a better...

    Modern History Personality

    This question can be tricky since it is so generalised. Unfortunately, I didn't study Speer, but what I did for my personality was ignore their background and early life and delved into their period of prominence. From there, I found the 3 most impactful aspects of their prominence and wrote...

    Cohort ranking for my subjects?

    It really depends on your school, for a school ranked in the top 20, usually for a 90+ ATAR, you typically want to be in the top 20-25 of your grade. My school was ranked around the back end of this top 20 and many students who were in the lower half of the cohort in the majority of their...

    Study routine and procrastination

    My advice is to download a study tracking app, that way you can keep track of how much you study of each subject and how much every day, week, month, etc. I found this very useful because it was easier for me to set smaller more achievable goals each day. I.e. usually on school days I tried to...
