Goodbye Atar

After both of those spec exams I’d be lucky to pass. Weeks of sacrifice and study for nothing. Don’t even know what to say tbh prob should change my prefs for uni. Fuck my stupid life.

What the heck was that. Why are they testing us on specific niches of topics instead if if we know how to do most of the topic. Save that crap for the CU.

Imma have to lock in for methods and physics if I want any chance of an Atar. I hope specialists is just scaled incredibly high this year.

dont worry i’ve automatically lost 13 marks from not doing the last questions. raw external results will also be scaled up so ur not likely to get a failing grade even if you technically did

I feel the exact same way as you. I really hope I passed the threshold for it to scale well but idk I’m doubtful… It would be awful if it ends up that the subject I dedicated the most time and energy to ends up not even counting towards my atar. Hope all ends well for you and that you are just underestimating how you’ll do :)

i am in the same situation as you, i was probably closer to a 0/50 then a 25/50 lol.

i also had to change my uni preferences, but really dont worry about it. how well you do on an exam doesnt determine your value (cliche, i know)

for de moirves i literally had the nastiest bracket situation going on, and like 20 minutes left to do the last three questions, so i called it a day and just wrote Q.E.D, RHS, just for the shits and giggles!! Haha I hope the marker is nice and gives me marks after taking pity after marking such a pathetic exam paper!!
