Does not doing well in your half yearly exams like 50% and 60% around there.is there still hope to get an atar of 90+.
and can you make up for it by doing really well in your remaining assesments and trials and ofcourse the actual HSC.
btw the exams weighting ranged around 10% to 25% i feel gutted

like 10% 15% and 20%
i still have a few assesments and the TRIALS to do.
if i do well in those is there a chance of me getting that 90+ atar or atleast 80+ in a realisitic way

If you're about the middle now, then yeah, if you do great in your remaining assessments, there is still a really good chance of you getting a good math mark

This guy got 99.65 with very similar subjects to you so its not like your subjects means you are screwed. He is a beast though so take it as you will

That said you kinda have to start being a beast as well, I think at this stage a 90+ atar is still very achievable considering you've done like less than 25% of your course, and similar logic for 80+.
