Just recently did my H/Y exams and likely to have bombed out on all of the exams.
Expecting either 70's or 80's for the majority of my exams - Bio, Chem, IPT, 2U Maths and 3U Maths with the exception of Adv. Eng in which I probably would of miserably failed.
From what I've predicted (Out of 50% Total School Mark) -
Chem - 17/20% done. Bio - 20/25% done.
IPT - 18/25% done. 2U - 17.5/20% done.
3U - 15/20% done. Adv Eng - 14/25% done.
The one that worries me the most is my Adv Eng - the outcome of the mark was based on flunking my first assessment 7/15 worth 7.5% and my H/Y in which I was not prepared AT ALL! probably got 1.5/5%. I've never really payed attention in class for English and only just NOW realised how important preparing and studying for English is. The lack of preparation and studying for all my exams ultimately led to me getting shitty marks from what I predicted.
Is it really still possible for me to get a high 90+ ATAR if I started to seriously apply myself in my studies. The H/Y was more so a learning experience for me, an eye opener to how seriously I needed to study and that I'm committed within the upcoming holidays to change my study habits but is it too late for me to get my desired ATAR of 90+?

I hope so but still though, just the thought of how badly I did in my H/Y makes me worry if those marks will drag me down in the end.

You should be worried, but of course it is never too late. Just tank everything else, and you'll smash the hsc.

You can't do anything about those marks, move one and focus on your next assessments.

Hmm .. yeah I guess I'll just have to try my best and hopefully "tank" the remaining exams but I highly doubt it. LOL
By what means is "tanking" the exams? 90+? I'm assuming so if I want to move up my rankings and get in a better position.

It's all relative. If an exam was easy and everyone did well, then a 90 wouldn't be that great.
