How to cope with ATAR failure (1 Viewer)

[jono_jonoson]

Just wanting to know from past students who have received an ATAR that does not match the cutoff for their course (by a very small amount), and how they coped with this.

I need a 90 ATAR for my course and I'm really scared I'll fall short somewhere between 89.5 - 90

Just want a heads up of how to deal with this / prepare for this, so I'm not totally ruined if this happens to me. I know there is nothing much you can do but move on but is there anything that will make the disappointment easier?

study your hardest for HSC man, not much you can do and "expecting failure" is not a good attitude. Try your best and if you dont make it, go to another uni and transfer

Yep. Think about it rationally. If you know that you tried your hardest and did not slack off , it will make it easier for you.

Just don't be too hard on yourself.

Yeah, so try your absolute hardest right now. You should really be thinking about this after HSC exams, because you've still got time to be studying.
