Okay, so I want to get a atar of 85+ At least. However, this is term 2 of my HSC and I'm doing so bad... Time is the problem, I really need to improve on it.... Any tips? And Is it possible for a atar of 85+?
Btw my school is ranked 300 something... It fluctuates each year...

Subjects I do:
* Standard English: Term1 Exam- 11/15 Term2 Exam- 14 -17 / 20 (it was a speech which I never got to finish speaking...TIME IS MY PROBLEM AGAIN!)
I suppose i'm rank 10th / 60 (I don't really know the exact mark I got since I only did two exams so far)

* Mathematics: Term1 Exam- 72% Term 2 Exam- 52% (TIME PROBLEM AGAIN :( )
I suppose i'm rank close to last place.... i think 19/21 (I use to be top 10 -cries-) I have to get 95% in my next one and trial to make up for this.... so I can enter the hsc with a 80%-ish. (We havent been tested on integration so I hope any topics from integration I do will be done well since I really enjoy the rest of it the topics except trig function)

* Biology Term1 Exam - I think I got 70% or maybe slightly higher Term 2 Exam - Don't know but i think 70% again (I have a low self esteem)
I think I am ranked 18/36 (I was ranked 4th in my prelim...but I don't know...about my HSC)

* Chemistry (My worse subject ever) Term 1 Exam - 48% Term 2 Exam - Don't know but I think 70% (It was a hand in so I put in alot of my effort for it) Both exam was weighed 10% each so I only did 20% so far.
There is heaps of A grade students for chemistry, so I think I am ranked 10/12.

* Economics Term 1 Exam - 70% Term 2 Exam - Not examined yet.
I think I am ranked 10/15

All my subjects excluding english has HEAPS of A grades students, I reckon about 40% of the class are band 6 people.
I feel like I am failing everything and I want my percentile to go up :( Is there still any hope for a atar of 85?

You still have time left man. My dad was a HSC teacher and marker, and he said that the HSC exams are 50% and make sure you ace em. Those marks aren't the best but they can be improved heaps by improving your time management. Make sure you prioritise the main stuff and do the easy stuff first. An atar of 85 is still achievable, my brothers best mate got a 88atar, and he screwed up the first part of the HSC, you are doing well so far! just keep your head up high and keep working hard for another 4-6months, and make sure by the end of the HSC you can say to yourself you tried your best, cos your best is what counts. Good luck mate. I believe in you :)


HSC 2015- Goal:90+ ATAR
