Kinda aiming for 99, but currently feel like might be short of it. Has anyone made a leap after slumber form in T1 and T2 to finish strong? Need motivation!!!
Has anyone made a comeback after half yearlies to achieve their atar goal? (1 Viewer)

omg yes.
K I did accelerated math...not sure if I was chosen to do accelerated math because of my math ability or just because of the fact that they needed one more person to make a class.
So. T1 + T2 assessment straight up, I got 56% both times. T3 assessment (it was an assignment) 75% and in Trials 80%. I went from ranking in the bottom 25% to getting the 5th highest mark in trials. Got a result in the high band 5.
So, yeah, you can make a comeback.
(p.s my school is ranked in the 150ish)

In english speech I got like 11/20 then half yearlies 17/30 so I was nearly last out of 35ish people, but decided to adapt how I was approaching the exams and ended up memorising quotes instead of essays, then did really well in the next assessments/trials (we had 3 trials) and ended up 5th or 6th I forgot.
But basically when I got the 11/20 I kept entering marks in the ATAR calculator and entering low band 5s for english or high band 4s and even considered dropping to standard LMAO but ended up working out in the end. Went from thinking there's no way I'm getting a 99 ATAR due to english, to being dux, just try ur best.

I mean it was math. I started out with what I could remember, then during the tests if there were any questions I just have no idea in. I just went back and tried to figure out how to do it

what
Yep. A good mark in trials, and prep for trials helped.

nope
top tip for english
treat it like maths. what do you do in maths? solve as many questions
stop annotating your texts with a bunch of rainbow highlighters and 600000 colours when you aren't going to use any of it.
get a few good quotes, analyse for like a day; then write a to ton of essay questions which vary.
guaranteed 18-20/20 (maybe not guaranteed), it's worked for me, and the friends i've recommended this strategy to
high school english isn't as profound as some of your teachers make it out to be, even module b... just sound like smarter
anyways - good luck on your rebound
