My friend was exactly like you she wasn’t in the best mental spot for HSC and had to sit out on some of her exams and get estimated scores but she got HSC all rounder at the end!! 🥳 Just gotta power through a year and you’ll get there and be done with nesa and the hsc😎
You'll be fine just try and maintain your top 5s because its only the start of the year and later on people slack off a bit, dont give up on the math you can do it
thats very impressive, if you keep maintaining that a 90+ atar should be really achievable, i can't say about band 6 in math but if you keep putting effort im sure you'll get there or atleast a band 4/5, dont give up. Also are your subjects good scaling like sciences and stuff?
by my group i meant my group of friends not the whole cohort lmao, also your ranks fluncuate later in the year because people get burnt out or don't try too hard so don't beat yourself up over your first assessment you'll be fine
Honestly depends on your school, my cohort performed really well and i don't go to a selective school but my group got 90+ atars : D, try and aim for atleast top 20 and even 10 if possible that will secure you a pretty good spot but its pretty dependant on your cohort, are you doing well on your...
Very much possible don't give up just focus on learning from your mistakes and getting your rank up, maybe ask your teacher for help on what to improve in, any difficult questions and going through the paper together
I mean if youre faced with an ICE table type Q where you have some quadratic and the small change assumption is viable just write "assume x is small since [reactants] initial. ≈ [reactant] eqm." : ))
