    Failed yr 12 term 1 english adv - drop to standard?

    How many more assessments do you have? For us, we already did 1 (worth 20%) and 2 more 20% each, and one trials 30-40%. If its similar for you, you need to do a lot of work to bump up your mark, especially trials. Otherwise, drop it, not worth getting low band 5s and 4s overall.

    Possible to retake a HSC exam of the same subject next year, but not have to be enrolled in that subject again?

    Yes, to retake HSC. No to doing HSC next year. If you are planning to do the same subjects for HSC, you have to redo that subject, even if you already know everything. NESA states: You can repeat one or more courses within the 5 years without a penalty. Your RoSA will report the results of all...

    90+ atar and first rank without tutoring?

    It's safer to secure a 99 with tutoring. Some people ik r just smart, they don't study, and yet they are topping class (top 5). Others that are in top 3 got tutored from different centres. My point? While some people might naturally excel academically without much effort, many others rely on...

    Can I still get a 96 ATAR?

    So many histories haha, but say you get 89 for history ext (in HSC, l think history ext is out of 50, so l'll say u got 44), you'll get roughly 90.05. l think this is because these subjects are low scaling, so... l used atar compass UAC to calculate your star based on what your current marks...
