Nope.

I don't really get stressed about my HSC, nor do I have issues concentrating in exams. The only reason I feel this way is because I have a total absence of pressure put on me, except by myself, to perform. My school isn't particularly exemplary in the grades department and I only need an ATAR of about.... 76-79 to get into the course I want. (with bonus points) So basically, I don't even need to study for the rest of the year and I can get that. This is particularly why I don't really mind.

Basically, just calm down. Try and realise that the HSC isn't the be all and end all of your life. Even if you don't get the course you want straight away, there are pathways around it. Take it easy, study efficiently and just do the best you can.

yea, im feeling the stress too.

And it's not just because of my high expectations. The people in my life expect me to achieve a high atar, and i feel that i can't let them down.

so the stress in inevitable.

i hate the hsc.

What makes it terrible for me is that my school is ranked so crap. The highest ATAR for last year's yr 12 was only in the high 70's. So that is an extremely depressing thought for me.

my school is in a really shitty area, but surprisingly we do alright...

yeah, the closeness of marks is crazy for some subjects. Hopefully i can do enough in trials to claw back the ranks.
