will improving my marks help my atar? (3 Viewers)

[gg1994]

so for my half yearlies i just failed like all my exams, do you reckon there is any hope of me getting in the 80s now?
to get in the 80s for maths i need to get literally 100% in my next two exams (and thats including trials) and that would be just on 80.
for 3u i just failed but that was the only exam i've done so far.
chemistry failed terrible but got around 67% for my assignment ( i hate chem)
biology got the same mark for my assignment and just failed (teacher is absolutely pathetic)
standard english im sitting in like the mid 60s lol (teachers a biiitch)
visual arts is just a piece of shit, at mid 60s as well (which is like <30)
im basically fked, funny thing is i use to be smart and get good marks (hence why i was allowed to pick those subjects)
tbh i didnt really study all that much and they say 3-4 hrs a night but i did max 1 hr throughout the term (probably less lol, i cant bring myself to do anything and thats just hw) and maybe 2 (or maybe 3) around/during exams lol .
do you reckon i can improve and get a decent atar?

Observing your attitude to school, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say no.

 

[iwannaacetheHSC]

I am gonna be a bitch myself, so..........no

 

[Peeik]

Change your attitude and your marks will be change too

 

[will_]

a change of mentality and hard work will definately boost your atar

 

[qwerty44]

You probably could improve, the question is will you?

 

[Nooblet94]

In reference to the thread title; contrary to popular belief, improving your marks won't help your ATAR. In fact, it'll have quite the opposite effect and ultimately result in a lower ATAR. (srs)

On a more serious note, obviously you can improve. Whether or not you put in the effort to do so is entirely up to you.

uhh how? if your marks are higher then your atar will be higher?

and to the ones who said no based on attitude if i actually studied and crap and tried harder will it get better/better marks?

Do your best and let it be

 

[softchillisauce]

Just do your best and see what happens.

The lack of the understanding of scarcasm on this forum never ceases to amaze me, oh well :/

Yes it will.

Prove me wrong.

 

[LoveHateSchool]

Theoretically yes, probability wise unlikely.

I offer motivation to DARE you to prove me wrong. If you can harness motivation and hard work, nothing will stop you.

this.

blaming your teachers even if they are crap will not get you anywhere.

 

[rogerlam]

Lol, kinda funny how you blame others/make up excuses for your failure, you're better off repeating and doing subjects you LIKE if you want a good ATAR or going TAFE, at this rate I'd say your ATAR would be 50~60. Admit your mistakes, start fresh and study like fuck till the HSC you might be able to swipe 80s.

I use an ATAR calculator to see the difference my marks can make on my ATAR. It's really helpful and it motivates me. I've tried a few but the Matrix one is the best.
