If they beat you in the assessments, what makes you think you'll beat them in the exam, btw?

I beat them in EVERY assessment tasks ranging from the trial, half yearly, research task, topic tests. but in the last LITTLE assessment task about the research thingy i screwed up (in bio)
and a 20% essay in Society and culture.

SO in conclusion what make you THINK I won't come first in the HSC exam when i came first in year 11 and year 12 trials and half yearly??

Oh, in that case, it's just tough luck. All you can do is try your best in the Exam and hope those people who'll steal your mark don't do too badly. (Last year, I was so rorted in English because of a series of "Tutor" prepared essays or "biased" marking. And I did well in my English Trial, which only ended up being like 25%)

How can you come first in everything, except have an assessment task bring you down by enough to dislodge you?

If you came first in the half-yearly and Trials, then... you'll do pretty well anyway. The gap between first and second shouldn't be that great anyway.

well, let's just say those people got full mark in those LITTLE assessment tasks and i screwed up simultaneously :( :( :( therefore, they sneak up on me, evil assholes!!

I know i'll do well, and the gap is like 1 mark in all of the subjects, so i don't know.....I AM GOING DOWN *CRY* *snift*
HELP! *snift*I guess i can't get my target UAI now....bye 99.25 *snift*

Hey, don't think that way. If the people beating you are just 1 raw mark ahead, it isn't much. And the Exam counts for 50%. And the better you do in that, the higher you Moderated Assessment mark will be... and 2nd, isn't that bad. Really.

You'll be suprised who will go really good in the HSC, people have a tendency to go really good when they really need too, like myself i jumped 20 places in ipt just because of the trial exam......and in software design kicked the person that is coming 1st up the ass cause of the major project............as long as you beleive you will do it, YOU WILL DO IT.....as long as you keep doing the work that is, and not think that you can stop working just cause you KNOW you are going to beat all of them.

Finally someone is in the same situation as me. You are on the SAME BOAT AS ME...LITERALLY!!!!!!!...all my subjects ranked #1 are now slipped to...#2, #2, #3, #3, #5, And there is quite a gap between me and the person who came first *CRIES*
SO dont worry, i am too in a non-selective, infact it's a "shitty" public school, SERIOUSLY there is no point for you to panick, here are a few reasons why:
1. the gap between you and the #1 is not alot, so there isn't much difference in UAI (just like what others have said), whereas mine...probably a 5-10 marks difference >.<
2. YOU have the confidence that you will do well in the HSC exam, whereas i tend to stuff up BAD UNDER EXAM CONDITIONS
3. You are aiming for 92.25, i am aiming for 99.50

NOW SEE THE DIFFERENCE? you are in a heaps better situation than me!!!!! IF you are already stressing about it like there is no future tmr, then what AM I GOING TO DO IN MY SITUATION? SUICIDE????errrr on a second thought, that's a good idea.....
...yeah i think i might do that then *slit slit*:chainsaw:
