my ranks aren't what i expected, what can i do? (1 Viewer)

The graduation euphoria has subsided and the results of my report are disappointing to say the least. I'm passing, I'll say that much. However, I'm only above the average in about 3 subjects, even then the marks and comments are sad to read. Especially extension 2 english. i came 5/5. I've never come last before, and it's such a let down. Anyone else in my position? Let's complain and cry.
Oh yeah, does this mean the end of my hopes for a UAI of around 85?

OK. Well, if your GRADE as a whole is pretty smart, a rank of 23/45 (for eg) at your school may be equal to a rank of <10/45 in a school that isn't performing as well. So chin up. Is your entire Ext class really smart? You might all walk away with bands E4 or E3, which will make everyone happy. Plus, if you come first in your exam, the marks will even out some and you might even be one of the people who get a band E4. Happy Days.
So, in summary (and what I am planning on doing)
Study
Don't be discouraged by your ranks- remember, at worst, it's only half of your HSC
