Okay this feels weird seems that my last post was in the summer holidays, but I thought I would do a little update and Im happy to answer any questions anyone has!
I got an atar of 98.40!!! I could not be happier🙂
My study scores were
HHD 48 (2023)
Bio 47
Chem 45
General 50
Methods 38
English 34
Here are my thoughts for each to compare from the start of the year.
Bio - I love bio with my whole heart. It carried me through semester one when I was going through a pretty rough time, and ultimately came through with the goods on results day. That bio exam was rough tho, Id con vinced myself I would have been lucky to get a 40. All my sacs were around 88-92% and I was so shocked to find out that I was rank 1, even after I had almost given up on bio in late term 3. But that just gave me the biggest motvation boost which ended up getting me the score that I did!
Chem - Chem was definately a slow burn. I hated 1/2 chem and luckily with a great teacher this year it slowly became my favourite. Again, I had convinced myself I had done much worse on the exam, but came out with a 45 which I was soooo happy with. I also got rank 1 for chem, which year 11 me would have never believed.
English - I in fact did not work much harder. I neglected it all year, and certainly neglected it come exam time. I ddint do one practice piece for it, rocked up to most of my sacs with not one bit of study. My good short term emmeory worked on my side when I would read a quote bank the mornign of each and somehow fluked a pass. Anyways, if i had studied my atar would have thanked me for it because instead I ended up with a scaled 32 in my top 4 🙁
General - pulled my stuff together in term 3 when I found out i was rank 1 and came out with the goods. Thank god because I dont know what I would have done if those 50+ practice exams were a waste.
Methods - very happy with my score. Pretty quickly i realised methods would be in my bottom two so i stopped caring as much as I should. Methods will always be a what if, because I believe if I put as much effort into methods as I did for general I definately coul;d have gotten 40+.
Anyways cya guys, if you have any questions let me know.
Im also selling general and health resources so let me know if your interested!
