You're asian deal with it.

By the looks of it you're going to get a band 5 at least for english which won't be that detrimental towards your atar.

Wut.

69% is not a fail.

Do you know how hard it is to actually fail your HSC? You pretty much pass just by sitting your exams.

69% is a fail? Then what are my 30 and 40%s?

Don't worry too much about English, focus on doing well and try get some motivation into doing English. Although my other subjects are bad, my English is actually quite good so if we have the same texts I can help you out.

I really recommend talking to your teacher about how you can improve with English. I found my problems was that analysis was too shallow or evidence wasn't good enough. Usually my ideas were there, but lol textual evidence ha ha ha. Go to your teacher first and if that's not helpful, see if you can seek help from your peers or others that are doing better.
