Am I screwed? (1 Viewer)

[Sirwest]

This is my first time on the forums so I apologize if I put it in the wrong spot.

I just found out I did terribly in my Ancient History assessment that was worth 15% and I got a mark of 60% and ended up coming near the bottom of the class. I normally do quite well in the subject but this assignment that was given was a PP presentation and I just failed miserably at it and lost most marks for the communications with the audience part and such because I was so nervous. What I'm wondering is, would this make such a significant impact and pull my overall HSC mark down and if it's still possible to achieve 90% in the end? I'm sorry if it seems stupid but I'm just quite disappointed seeing as I was at the top and then bam I'm at the bottom.

15% weighting is pretty lowish, improve in your half yearlies and trials and you should be able to get ur ranks up

You're alright mate, don't stress too much . 90 is very possible.

Thank you for your replies. I felt a huge drop in confidence when I received my mark but you've helped me boost it up again. Hopefully all goes well.

The percentages of what your assessments are worth usually go up throughout the year so it's never too late!

Not at all. When I was in Year 12 we had an assessment that was worth 20/25% and the guy who was definitely the best in the class only got about 60% in it and he was pretty crushed.

In the end though he ended up getting 96/7 for ancient. Even though he went shit in that assesment he was a beast in Ancient and dropped hardly any marks the rest of the year as well as in the HSC exam.

So basically one bad result (especially 15% assessment) doesnt mean you'll go bad as shown by this guy. Although he probs could have been a state ranker for Ancient if it wasnt for that stuff up!

Remember school assessments are only worth 50% of your HSC mark. It's still early so you can always climb back up in ranking.

Don't be too hard on yourself
