Hey everyone! So we got our first assessment marks about two weeks ago and I still haven't recovered completely. I feel like I didn't meet my expectations, and I definitely didn't fulfill my parents expectations. I've seen a few other threads like this but I just want to get some reassurance that my life isn't completely over. There was a pretty big range of marks, with people getting close to full marks, and others getting less than 50%. I think almost all of my ranks dropped since year 11, so right now I'm pretty upset.

So here are my marks:

Mathematics: 95
Mathematics Extension 1: 81
Advanced English: 70
Japanese Continuers: 88
Japanese Extension: (haven't done it get)
Chemistry: 83

Here are my marks for prelim for a bit of perspective:

Advanced English: 91
Mathematics: 97
Mathematics Extension 1: 47
Chemistry: 93
Japanese Continuers: 92

I'm aiming for 98+ ATAR... is this still realistic? :spzz:

It's been first term, and you still have enough time to work your way up to firsts/second places.

You're doing okay. But in all honesty, fuck the marks (not entirely), how did you go compared to the cohort?

I recommend focusing on English overall such as reading ahead and exposing yourself to a lot of critics + notes, since it is compulsory.

I did pretty average, which is annoying because my ranks were pretty good in year 11

Yeah, thanks for the advice! The first assessment was creative writing and I have absolutely zero creativity :bomb: I usually do alright in essays and stuff, I just absolutely fail creative and speeches

Bump.
Up.
Your.
Rank.

Then everything's ok. Because once your rank is established just kill the HSC exam and moderation will save you.

There goes all the girls in Sien's cohort due to her school rank dropping by like 60.
