im in a school thats ranked like from 40s to 50s and ive lowkey been doing so badly in my internal assessment tasks.. like i prepare so much but in the actual exam i completely mind blank and even easy questions i have a hard time doing (this happens esp in e2 and e1 math) to the point where the minute i leave the exam room, I immediately know how to do half the exam ppr that i didnt know during the exam 😭. i want a 95+ ATAR, my subjects are bio,chem,e2math,e1math,eng adv. in bio and english im in the lower 50 percent of ranks(prolly like band 4 lvl:((). and in chem, e1, e2 im kinda avg and def not enough for a band 6 and i think im gonna drop after the set of exams i just had..... for internals i find it rlly hard to study for sciences (like internals b4 trials) bcz its more prac and depth studies which idk how to study for and for math i keep blanking out in examss.. is it still possible for me to get a high rank for trials and a high hsc mark enough for an overall 95+, and if so how??? ALSO MY SCHOOLS WEIGHTING IS RLLY ANNOYING BCZ TRIALS ARE 35 PERCENT AND THE OTHERS ARE 25%

bro i cant really predict but my school was ranked around 300 and i got a 95.15 atar with subjects like eng adv, legal, buisness, languages and cafs. with your subjects it will probably be easier for you, id just say keep working hard like anything is possible if u truly put some effort in like i had the same wieghtening problem but my performance throughout the year was consistent, i finished top 3 in every subject.

some tips i recommend is getting off bos and drilling ur syllabus

Might just be exam technique.
Was speaking to a Maths teacher regarding "yips" during maths exams.
Their tips were:
If you can't answer a question, just move on. You find one you can do, which will give you confidence. In the meantime, your brain is actually going through the question you couldn't answer somewhere in the back of your mind which may come to you when you come back to it.
The fact that you 'suddenly' work out how to do questions after, attests to that.

You need to calm down, as that will also help recall. Don't stress if every question isn't answered, just a good effort on a good percentage. You might also find yourself answering more questions with the pressure off. At such a high ranked school, the exams are probably going to be tricky to separate everyone.

A 95+ is a big ask, but also not a big ask. You have very good scaling subjects, which will help your ATAR. I assume the people around you are also trying, so being mid-level isn't so bad. It doesn't feel great, but if everyone tries, everyone will get lifted.

Don't worry about ranks and marks, as long as you put the effort in, you may be surprised by the outcome.
