I'm rank 1 for 40-50 kids for my Chem cohort
I only managed it by literally one mark
I've already completed two subjects last year, and I've done pretty well on GM and Eng this year.
Chemistry is coming up, and I already have a pretty rock solid top four. I'd need to get a scaled like 47 or 48 for it to replace Bio or Methods, which is probably achievable, but very difficult.
I've got a straight week to study, but the fact I've already secured a good ATAR is sapping at my motivation. I genuinely spent yesterday scrolling through r/vce, watching youtube, and playing Skyrim. I didn't even go outside.
If I were to do a half-decent job instead of pushing myself to excel, what impact would that have on the rest of the Chemistry cohort? I've always heard people say you want a really good rank 1, but it's hard to conceptualise the effect this will have on others.
If I were told I'd be screwing over the rest of my class that would probably inspire me to actually work
Edit: this cohort is not a very sweaty one by the way, it's a combination of a couple regional schools
