School rank?Overall, I know I could've done better in everything. Over the past 3 months I've been having serious motivation issues which I still haven't resolved. Need to get my shit together, but I don't know how. Two questions; how do I get back on track and what sort of atar am I looking at now? Also, I'll post the papers once they get uploaded by the teachers, because I'm far too lazy to just scan mine.

Nice work on maffs!!MX1 - 100/100 1st, 1st overall
MX2 - 89/100 1st, 1st overall
English - 80/105 30-40, 30th overall
Legal - 87/100 3rd, ~5 overall
Music - ~130/150 (not exactly sure due to each part being weighted differently), 3-5, ~3 overall
Physics - 81-83/100 (Depending on whether or not I get given a carry-on error), 5-15, somewhere between first and 5th overall (after being first throughout the year)
Thoughts:
Obviously happy with MX1 and I'm reasonably happy about MX2 although I really should've got 100 for that too - I just made some ridiculous errors.
Very happy with English and Legal considering I only really studied the night before all 3 papers. Most of the comments included something along the lines of "your essays seem rushed, you could've done much better with more prep", so hopefully I'll be able to smash externals.
Happy with music, although I could've done better because I messed up one of my pieces and scored about 5 marks (across the 3 teachers) lower than what I was expecting.
Massively disapointed with Physics. This is the only time I've ever felt seriously sad about how I've done in an exam. I know I'm good enough to top the grade and my teachers do too. I was already having a pretty shitty week before we got it back, but this has just made it terrible.

Cheers dude! How'd you go in your trials?
Wow. I was expecting low 98's. Guess I'm doing better than expected!
That's a very big if
. To be honest, I think it's possible though. My grade seems to have a really big spread - the top 5 are really, really good and everyone else near the top seems to be good as well, it's just that there's lots of people that do badly as well which is why the teachers are so worried. The cohort as a whole seems to be pretty bad though so I wouldn't be surprised if our rank drops to the mid-30s and dux is mid-99's. Everyone (myself included) is just so fucking lazy -.-
I guess try and share all the resources you have - don't be stingy with stuff - I'll try and send whatever stuff I've collected as well - make the work less for yourself. Rather than making notes and what not, just read over other sets and do heaps of past papers (can provide too - even for Legal etc. if you want).Cheers dude! How'd you go in your trials?
