To answer your last question: yes it is.

Start by summarising your topics based on the syllabi. It's up to you to get you motivated.

Also read the 1000000000000 other threads of similar theme and title on this forum.

just read your books, even if your not willing to study just read the chapters you have done.
you will be surprised on how much will sink in your brain :)

Yes it's possible.
It is, however, survival of the fittest- you need to find a way to motivate yourself.

Just try to stay in the Top 10 for all of your subjects as this will give you a MUCH, MUCH better chance at achieving your goal of 95 :)

As for motivation, look within yourself. Motivation cannot be spoon-fed to you, you must FIND it. The major motivation I used was a quote from a German soccer coach after his team won the cup from a position of trailing 3-0 at Half-time: 'It's not over till its done' :sun:

It's been discussed many times. It is possible to get above 95 with any subject combination. Hell, it's possible to get above 99 with any subject. The only issue is how much effort and work you're willing to put into your studies.

I have the same problem of laziness and I just can't control myself. I told myself all of today that I'd study at night but I didn't event get through what I set for myself - I only managed to look over my chemistry dot points and edit them, and doing a few questions.

I shall go back to "studying" now.......

when youre taking a break from study, make a big poster with your goals for the HSC and put it up in your room where youll always see it
i put my goals onto the hutch of my desk to remind myself "this is what i have to work for!"
motivational quotes help too =)

Yes, you can definitely get an ATAR of 95+

You must work hard to get high ranks + marks, especially for english and business studies :)

Motivation can come in many forms: proving someone wrong/right, seeing how smart you are/what the highest atar you can get is, scholarships, pride/family/expectations or simply just getting into a uni course etc etc

Seriously tho maybe just get the books and sit there, u'll actually get bored of looking at them and then actually do sometihng about it.

Yes those subjects are fine. But you really need to do the following if you wish to achieve an ATAR of 95:

- Become as high-ranked as possible in each subject (ideally come 1st in everything)
- If the above is too difficult, then minimize/reduce the gap between you and those ranked above you
- Study consistently but not excessively
- View things in perspective and don't take it all too seriously
