Hey, it doesn't "look" that bad, your assessments are spread over 5-6 weeks, it doesn't get much better than that in my opinion. I've had 3 assessments in a week for two weeks (last year term 4), extremely hectic for me but it went by fast which was the only advantage of having them all cluttered together. Anyway good luck with the assessments, my advice to you is to get working now! :)

lol. In term 4, I had three assessments spread over a week. (or 2 weeks depending on how you look at it). On Thursday Week 8, I had my English AOS essay assessment task. The next day, (Friday Week 8) was my Mathematics short examination. The following Tuesday (Week 9) was my Mathematics Extension 1 assessment.
Also, all those science research tasks require thorough research at home so I'm going to be constantly researching. That plus homework from my other subjects.... These science assessments are worth 25% each, so that's a noticable chunk of my final assessment mark. It may not look like much, but keep in mind the research tasks are based the OPTION topics, which is a topic I've never done before, nor will we cover it class until term 3.
The major obstacle for me would be the half yearlies. It usually takes me about a whole week or two to revise and study for all my subjects. With an assessment task every week for 5 consecutive weeks preluding the half yearly exams, finding any time for revision, other than the last minute, is going to be very tough.

Did i stuff my chances of getting 95 UAI already??

i got 60.5/70 for ISP SOR2 Unit rank would be like 5th or 6th
math extension 1 15/50 :( I know its disappointing rank ummm 13th??
business studies 9/20 ( I usually get 18/20 but dont know what happened)
English Advanced 13/20 and 6/15 (combined worth 15% i went average in skool)

Also 2Unit math but that doesnt count cause i do 4UNit math... Other subjects that havent been tested are physics and 4UNit math...

I go to a crap skool like ranked around 300... ALL exams above are worth 15% of skool assessment.. Do i still have chance of getting 95UAI if i get like top 10 results for the rest of my tests in every subject. Some might be even top 3. I can do alot better in business and math 3Unit...both i can get top 5 in them. HELP

Of course, this is only the beginning, ace the half yearlies and trials and obviously the HSC and you should be fine. Especially the ranks if you get there

Yeh, use this time (including the trials) to prepare yourself for the external HSC exams.
