Did anybody do really badly in yr11 and then achieve a 90+ ATAR? (1 Viewer)

[96]

Well, basically, I flunked my year 11 half yearlies. A failure for Ext 1 maths, and 60s for other subjects. I put this down to poor study habits which I've improved considerably since. I'm aiming for a 96+ ATAR.

My self-confidence is down a bit (not faith in my own intelligence, just my motivation and focus), so please share your stories if you have any.

yesss i failed 2 yearlies in year 11 i got over 90 lol.

Just wondering- what were your subjects?

I'm doing ext1 maths and 3 sciences so I think it will be more difficult for me to redeem myself, but thanks for that!

Year 11 Yearlies I failed Extension 1 maths (about 40%), just passed chem (51%) and maths (60%)
In the HSC I ended up with 40 in Extension 1 maths, 87 in chem and 88 in 2u maths.

Very easy to better yourself in the HSC with a good study plan.

In year 11, ranks for 3 of my subjects were:
193/210
83/90
120/144

By the end of year 12 my final ranks were
8/210
2/90
20/144


And yes i got 90+

Year 11 is no indication of how you will go in year 12, because lets face it, no one does anywork in year 11.

Summed it up perfectly.

Like about 700, long way to go.

Well, I haven't finished the HSC but I failed a number of maths exams, did poorly in physics and just okay in my other subjects in year 11 & I think 99+ is realistic for me.

EDIT: from ~40th/73 in prelim physics to 3/68 in HSC

Maths is one of the few subjects where prelim course actually completely matters. Despite being ranked 18/28 for the preliminary MX1 course, I'm 4/25 in the hsc course.

I was 17/23 for prelim Chemistry, and probably around 5/17 for the first semester of hsc course.

I ended the year for biology in the 20s/7X and I should probably be scraping a top 10 after first semester reports come out for the hsc course.

And I plan on raising my ranks for Chem and MX1 to top 3, and Bio to top 5... hopefully... hopefully I can do it. =[
