How to prepare yourself for possibly disappointing marks (1 Viewer)

Hi, given that HSC marks are very variable (anything can happen), how can we prepare ourselves for possibly disappointing marks? I feel like I have significantly overestimated my marks.

Use the UAC ATAR calculator, put in your worst realistic marks (deliberately underestimate yourself) and see what ATAR comes up, and if it’s “bad” to you, pretend it’s real and digest that and tell yourself that’s your worst possibility and your real ATAR is only going to be better

I have no idea what my worst english mark is lol. I made up my entire Mod C on the spot that barely answered the question (so bad you probably can't imagine). So I might get either a 15-16 for Mod C or like a 9
