English Standard - 67% - 9/86
Mathematics - 68% - 19/58
Mathematics Ext1 - 81% - 10/28
Physics - 58% - 16/23
Software and Design - 87% - 2/19
Music 1 = 96% - 1/30

So depressed, didn't know about past papers or the fact that teachers would just pull the whole test from past papers. Would've done way better given i've memorised so many 1k word essays/creative writing at this point. fml

Additional info
Physics - Rank 1 is hovering around 70-75%
Software - Large outlier here, rank one is 90%, while rank 3 is like somewhere 60%-75%
Math Ext1 - My friend who is rank 5 or 3 (sorry cant remember) has 85%, so its pretty clustered rn

Is it even possible to get 90% atar at this point? If so, which subjects should i focus on most

Any comments or help would be GREATLY appreciated, THANK YOU VERY MUCH

Hey! So the Talent 100 ATAR calculator is giving out a 77 ATAR :/
HOWEVERRRR, have you done your term 3 tests yet? Because remember you still have TRIALS which count for so much!! and externals!! You're doing really well in 3U so that's good - try even harder because it can seriously pull up your ATAR. You should focus on 2U maths more. Try to bump up your English rank up too and your physics. Just a tip: your marks are quite rocky rn but if you push really hard I definitely think you can get it :) Because this is the time where people start slipping, so if you do the complete opposite, it could really help your internal ranks. Just remember to not be disillusioned by where you are at now. Just give 100% and continue to picture that 90 ATAR :) GOOD LUCK!!

You'd definitely need to improve those marks that's for sure, though I'm curious as to how you got a much higher mark in Ext 1 math than 2U math.

For some reason, most of the people I know who do extension 1 think that 2 unit is harder. Some who do 4 unit consider 2 unit to be similar in difficulty content-wise. I'm not too sure why.

Going to have to completely disagree, and all of the 3u and 4u students at my school would also agree xD

In Yr 11 I beat my 2U marks in my 3U exams, but I wouldn't suggest that 3U was easier, and that trend didn't continue into this yr 12 either.

Yes I disagree also, I definitely found 2U much easier. Not sure why a lot of classmates feel otherwise XD
