Idk I feel like this year most of the exams had such different vibes to previous papers. Like why were all my papers so weird???????

I am very confident for maths (I marked myself right after the exam. For English, I am expecting a band 4 unfortunately. Biology, Physics and Maths were probably my best. I am expecting band 6s and 5s for those.

How could I have improved? Probably not relying on my lazy English teacher (they only started looking at my work before trials and before HSC despite working so hard throughout the year) and instead moving classes. I should have chosen English Advanced and Mathematics Advanced rather than Standard.

I should have started taking notes of my mistakes earlier and splitting my study sessions of 1.5 hours in morning and 2.5 hours in afternoon for school days. Perhaps doing 3 hours in morning and 3 hours in afternoon in weekends rather than 12 hours a day in weekends. I really destroyed my social skills.

Predicted is 99.55 (perhaps a bit too generous as I didn’t get a call for first in course)

Got “early entry” for med (only available to international students). If I get below 95 I might as well ditch my uni plans and work for my parents.

In terms of regrets, I should have switched schools before y11 as the whole hsc experience was dreadful for me. I won’t go into details but it’s just not worth the money and the school’s overrated.
