Is it possible for me to get an ATAR of 75?
- my school does better on English and most subjects than the state for context

Very high = top top of cohort
High = top in cohort
Medium = average in cohort
Low + bottom of cohort 
Very low = bottom 

THESE ARE NOT GRADES, JUST RANK FOR THE COHORT ONLY

PSYCH: 78 (top end of medium)
68, 68 (medium)
73 (medium)
65 (medium) 
78 (top of medium) 

GEN MATHS 40 (Low
89,89 (high)
62 (medium)
85 (top of medium)

LEGAL 75 and 60 (1 sac split into 2 (low on both)
68 (medium)

76 (medium)

English 65 (high end of medium)

65 and 75 (low and medium)
70 (medium)

Vis com 80(high)

Exam estimation 
Legal = 75
Psych = 77
Gen math = 74,75
English = 6.8
Vis com = 76

Got 73% pretty much on everything
I’m
2/6 in my cohort
thanks

For context, I’m rank 3 but only like 3 percent on total average for the year behind rank 1. Am I actually at that much of a disadvantage, cos I keep hearing that I’ll get the exam score of the 3rd best exam as my sacs which could be pretty bad and doesn’t sound very fair to me considering I’m not behind by that much. Study score calcs say I’m like automatically 2 points down on study score by this ranking but is this really true

Im doing genny just got result for final sac and my teacher said that my coursework grade is 97%. Sadly my school doesn’t reveal sac ranking but I presume im ranked decently high (hopefully). 4 people have 100% avg in a cohort of 150 students roughly, and im in a decently high ranked priv school.

What study score do you think I could get and what exam marks would deliver that?

Hiii,
So my sac scores right now for most of my subjects are not looking super good (50-60s mostly, but some 40s) if my rank is low but I do well in my end of year exams can that help? I need. 82 for my course and I’m really scared bc my rank os also not that good (I’m just assuming with what the average sac scores are and my performance) so can my exam REALLY help or have my sac scores impacted it? I’m also saying this bc I don’t think my cohort is a strong one 😭😭

My % for unit 3 was 92 and now i dropped to 74% for unit 4
Is it still possible to get 40+ in gen maths…??

If your sacs are bad are you cooked or can exam save you

we finished the content/sacs and now we just do past exams every lesson but i am so lost in tech free because this whole time i neglected CAS free maths since the SACs were using the CAS

do i just do super old exam questions to help my calculation skills, textbook or just do the normal exams?

but i also wanna prioritise exam 2 as well cause apparently its harder

Hi I’m super sorry for posting this here but I don’t rlly have a choice I’m not sure why all the other forums are age restricting me.

I struggle with sh to regulate myself and since summer is coming up I have to wear short sleeved school uniform.I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations on how to cover it up.I was thinking bracelets might be good but I was wondering since it’s only on my left arm if anyone has any recommendations of what type of bracelets are usually worn since I’m super indecisive and I’d prefer smth more convenient.ive bought a few but they’re super clunky and I feel like I prefer smth less noticeable.also will ppl be able to notice?
Thx so much guys

I am in year 10 and have a crafting texts cat on transitions next monday, the essay I picked was argumentative ted talk on neurological disorders because I have one. But we had a practice cat yesterday and the title was changing tides and I just didnt know what to write about at all and wrote 2 paragraphs in the 90 minutes and scribbled out atlest 5 paragraphs that I thought where not good enough and I just want to try me best across this week to just improve it. Any tips?

As the title says

How do you abbreviate the word specialist???! The first 4 letters are spec so that's how I feel like it should be abbreviated, but the sound is the sh sound so that's why they do spesh. But that looks so wrong. It looks so ugly spelling it like that. That literally connotes speshialist. It should be spec. Or am I crazy??

I have had the same friendgroup since yr 7 and i dont think we will necessarily last bc we've been having som drama but like who tf am i supposed to hang out with when theres no more school and i want to walk around 😁

Last year got scaled 38 Chinese second language
English: 44% 60% 50% 44%
Accounting: averaging 4%
General maths: 70 70 80
Physics: 33 52 31 66
Methods: 31 31 average was 40 most recent sac didn’t get back but reckon I did good
I live in low socioeconomic suburb so maybe Monash guarantee don’t know how to know if I’m confirmed
Schools aight median study score 31

Hey
Does RMIT do a non star based early entry? If so how do I apply?
Thanks :)

sac scores lowkey been mid

I’ve seen a lot of posts on here about people struggling with VCE because of mental or physical health issues, so I thought I’d put together some advice that I wish more people had told me. First of all, your health problems are not due to personal failure. You’re not lazy, stupid, weak, or “bad at school” because you’re struggling to function while dealing with health problems.

VCE can be demanding even when you’re completely healthy, so if you're not, it makes it even harder. Here are some things that I find can help as a person with both mental health issues and a chronic illness:

TL;DR

1. Tell someone at school.

2. Look into special considerations.

3. Don't treat rest as something you need to earn.

4. Lower the bar if you need to.

5. Get your priorities straight.

6. Break down big tasks into smaller ones.

7. Don't compare yourself to your healthy classmates.

8. Keep your teachers and other staff updated if you can.

9. Utilise your good days.

10. Have a minimum viable study routine.

11. Don't sacrifice your entire life for an ATAR.

12. Ask for help before you're at breaking point.

...

1. Tell someone at school e.g. year level coordinator, wellbeing team, VCE/senior year coordinator, teacher or other staff members. They can't help with problems they don't know about, but you don't have to disclose every personal detail either.

2. Look into special considerations and school based support as soon as you can. Don't wait until the last minute to ask for support so your school can let you know what VCAA support is available for your situation.

3. Don't treat rest as something you need to earn. Resting isn't procrastination. Sleep, appointments, eating and exercising well (if you're able to) or even just taking a break is all part of getting through VCE.

4. Lower the bar if you need to. If you're not coping, turn "I studied for hours and finished everything" into "I sat at my desk and submitted the important task". It's not giving up, it's adapting to the amount of energy you have.

5. Get your priorities straight. You can't always do everything, so work out what is actually worth your time and energy. Some tasks are less important than others, so if you're struggling, ask your teacher what you should prioritise.

6. Break down big tasks into smaller ones. "Study Biology" is overwhelming, while "Read 1 page" is not. Once you start, it's easier to do more.

7. Don't compare yourself to your healthy classmates. Just because someone else can study for six hours after school doesn't mean everyone can. Compare yourself to your own circumstances, not someone else's.

8. Keep your teachers and other staff updated if you can. If you disappear for two weeks and then suddenly email asking for extensions, it's much harder for everyone. Communicating early makes things considerably easier.

9. Utilise your good days. If you happen to have a day where you feel more motivated, you don't necessarily need to spend all of it catching up, but doing a little extra preparation can give you some breathing room when the bad days come back.

10. Have a minimum viable study routine. For example, on a really bad day, maybe your goal is simply to attend school, do one important task, eat something, shower, and sleep. On a better day, you can do more. Having different expectations for different levels of functioning can make things much more sustainable.

11. Don't sacrifice your entire life for an ATAR. Obviously VCE matters, but it is not worth destroying your physical or mental health over. There are pathways into university, TAFE, apprenticeships, further study, and careers that don't depend on getting one particular ATAR.

12. Ask for help before you're at breaking point. Friends, family, teachers, counsellors, psychologists, doctors and other professionals exist for a reason. You don't have to prove that you're “sick enough” to deserve support.

Most importantly, your VCE results are a description of how you performed during one particular period of your life, they aren't a measure of your intelligence, your worth, your future, or how hard you tried.
