I am currently in year 11 and I used to be A and B student until year 10, but then I had hard time at school due to some people which made me absent from school often and I got 5 Ds for term 1 of year 11. But I did pass Unit 1 as I tried a little more, but not my best effort. In the start of Unit 2, which is term 3, I got one A and five B, it is a big improvement especially for my English as I went from D (term 1) to A (term 3). Unfortunately, as I missed a lot of content for Unit 1, I didn't do well for the block exam, but I did pass everything for Unit 2 as well.
Is it too late for me to catch up as year 12 is starting right now, I really want to get a high ATAR to get a scholarship and I need at least 90+ ATAR. I got really good improvement in term 3 which I tried the best out of this year, but I lost my confidence after seeing the block exam results (whole year content) and I am regretting a lot for not trying Unit 1. Right now, I have started year 12 work for pretty much all the subjects and I have been studying around 3 to 4 hours everyday, and bit more on the weekends (I used to study barely 3 hours a week for during year 11). And I wonder if I can get ATAR above 90 if I try really hard from now on. Subjects I am doing are QCAA legal studies, general English, general mathematics, Korean, Biology, Psychology. When I use ATAR calc, I need to get around 90 for every subject to get approx.92.5 ATAR but I know that it isn't accurate, so I want to hear from people who have experienced ATAR.
