If everyone kicks your ass and you're last, then I'd worry, otherwise it's only first assessment, there's time to get revenge in the half yearlys

wtf, how did you work that out?
Isn't hard. Not sure if this is right, but you're internal assessment is worth 50% of your HSC. So his 15% is out of his 100%. You only take half of that 100% so 7.5%. You have 5 subjects going into your ATAR, so divide by 5. Oops why did I only divide by 2... anyway yeah.

*sigh* we're all paranoid about stuffing up the hsc... i guess all we can do is try out best. would be nice if our motivation levels were at a peak throughout the whole year...
