Of course it is. Why not?

Rather than thinking about your rank, which you can no longer do something about, try to figure out how to get a really good mark in the HSC now. If you hypothetically end up getting a raw mark of 95, you'll easily get a band 6 despite internals affecting it.

It's worth knowing that the difference that you can make between now and the HSC exams is huge! If you play your cards right, focus on weaknesses and maintain strengths, you'll see the results!
