my overall assessment rank and half yearly marks:
Advanced: 5/15 - 83%

Ext.1 eng: 1/3 - 70%

ext 2 eng: 2/2 - ?

Geography: 2/8 - 90%

Modern History: 1/23 - 89%

Senior science: 1/16 - 59%

so yeah, any chance of a 85+ ATAR?
and my school ranks 635 outta 664

Yeh but everything with 0 DA's is ranked =664.
Wow they must have changed it.
It used to be 0 DA's + amount of exams sat.
Ie if a school sat 100 exams with 0 DA's they would be ranked higher then a school which sat 300 exams with 0 DA's.

Basically what i've been doing.
My teacher is motivating us by giving anyone with a band 6 in snr science with $200

Shows how desperate she is and how much my school sucks at science.
*sigh*

Just study really hard and make sure you come first in all your subjects. Then you won't be dragged down by your school. But 635 out of 664 is pretty bad....

you are definately not screwed, the trials and HSC basically make or break your HSC. Kill the external assessment and sky is more or less the limit. Pick up your game from now on, ask youself why you didnt do so well before and fix it. Trials are what no one is prepared for, and ranks can change drastically. Come first in a couple subjects and you can basically get your own mark as your final mark.

Everyone feels this way in the lead up to HSC i thought i was screwed for sure and i got 90+. Just calm down and use your time effectively and kill those trial exams. Also alot of kids switch off after trials because HSC seems so far away. Use that time well to avoid the last minute panic :)

Oh and do every past paper you can get your hands on, hand it in to the teacher and get them to mark it, and go over the previous years marking comments. You can find them on the board of studies website.

Don't fret brah, despite your school rank you won't be brought down too much by those useless fucks if you remain top. Just keep putting in your best effort.

ok that worries me that you say that. I don't see how you are screwed. I'm getting marks around that and I though I was doing ok. My school is ranked somewhere like that too so I'm in the same boat. Your senior science can be improved by in all ur other subjects i think u r doing well. If i think u r not screwed does that mean my standards are too low?

No, I agree with you completely.

OP just needs to work on senior science and he's fine, imo.
