ATAR aim: 83+ trying to be realistic yet hopeful but would love a high 80s. 90s seem to be out of my range now...

School Rank: Around 250s

FINAL RANKS
Adv. Maths: 36/114
Ext1. Maths: 39/41 [intending on failing anyways]
Adv. English: 19/65
Business St.: 32/73
Legal St.: 12/66
Economics: 7/18

TRIAL MARKS
Adv. Maths: 77/100 (Can definitely push for a 90, did not study at all for this)
Ext1. Maths: 26/100 (Why do they still let me stay in this course. I know nothing in Ext 1 Maths but I pulled a one nighter for all the topics)
Adv. English: 75/100 (Essays were spot on great but had a major downfall in Module B: Speeches)
Business St.: 62/100 (Lost about 50% in short answers and extended responses. Business Report was my downfall)
Legal St.: 81/100 (Happy. Considering how I started extremely bad in assessments but improved a lot when we got nearer to essay writing topics)
Economics: 69/100 (Can definitely push this higher, this subject was supposed to be my forte. Lost marks in each section which all added up. No particular weak point, just need to understand the topics better)


Thoughts:
Did much worse in Trials than assessments and I have a worried feeling I might do as bad in my external. Not even one band 6. Only had one band 5 in Legal Studies. I don't think my Trials show my true potential, but also to a certain extent made me realise I didn't do justice to it either. Could have studied a lot more.
