trial and hsc exams? (1 Viewer)

[merna7]

hey guys,

has anyone here done quite bad in trials and still manage to ace the hsc exams and get a reasonable atar??
(e.g got really really good marks for the last school assessment/assignment and extremely well in the hsc exam, but didnt do really well in trials)

thanks guys

Define bad, as everyone has their own definition of bad

bad as in 40-60 % range..

I guess that would depend on what school you go to (taking into consideration scaling factors etc), as for the trials, I myself went well, but I had a lot of friends who did comparatively bad, they however, really came through in the HSC exams and ended up with exceptional ATAR's.

If you put in the hard work you can still improve greatly. Nobody is doing particularly well in my chemistry class and heaps of people were considering dropping so my teacher brought up the results from last year. Same thing - there was only 1 girl that ever got over 90% and the 2nd person was around 70-75% and yet they all did well in the HSC exam. There was 1 girl who had never passed a chemistry exam (year 11 or 12) and by that I mean she never got over 50%... She came out with a 85 or 86 in the HSC chem exam. Anything is possible if you work hard.

well, thats a bit fairytale like, but i have heard of people that bombed out there trails but still achieved in the hsc...not 95+ but still great.

Umm I got 59% in my chem exam, ended up getting a band 6

Music extension: Got 2nd last rank in trials (worth 50%), i ended up getting a 49/50 for my HSC mark

Can I ask what was your school's ranking?
