I really want an ATAR above 60

[Franky3121]

My Subjects are
English - SAC results pending (Oral and Essay)
Further Mathematics - SAC results pending (I think i failed)
Studio Art
VisCom - Professional Practice SAC Term 2
Accounting - SAC 1 (79%) SAC 2 Term 2

I'm not doing so well, i really want an ATAR over 60 to do the course i want at RMIT.
I'm quite concerned I'm doing something quite complicated in Studio Art so I may not get the 40 I was aiming for.
Accounting is alright but i keep skipping the theory questions
I screwed up my first english SAC where i wrote a one page paragraph and rewrote it in time but its way shorter than what i thought i would do.
Further Maths SAC was so hard for me (DONT JUDGE ME!) that i believe i got under %50
Nothings happened in Studio Art except my assignments and ive begun my folio.

Will I still be able to reach my goal, i'm not exactly the brightest boy and my English ORAL was so short i may lose more than i expected.

Can i still get my Study Scores!?
English: 35+
Further Mathematics: 25+
Accounting 30+
Studio Arts: 40+
Viscomm: 35+

Estimated ATAR calc results: 74.60

Hey,

We go to schools pretty much next door to each other

Your ATAR goal is definitely still achievable since you've only done maximum 1 or 2 sacs in each subject. Keep in mind for most subjects the exam is what makes or breaks. and for most subjects no more than 10% of the SS would be done by now. Still plenty of time for a turn around.

For accounting you really should work on the theory, as most of the state does pretty well on the prac, it's the theory that really gets you up into the higher study scores. I suggest to help with theory you really try and do all the review questions the textbook gives to a high standard to ensure you are understanding all the theory, it can get tedious after a while, but it really helps.

If Studio Art seems complicated maybe try working with your teacher to modify your project to something more simple, or break the project down into smaller steps to make it more manageable. I'm sure if you asked teachers would be willing to work with you either in your frees or before/after school.

vTextbook.com has free videos on Accounting by some sods who scored 50s, I would probably check it out

If you try and understand further and do some questions, you should be able to get 25+, easily.

If you really want a 60+ ATAR, you will get it. You just need to sit down, do three hours of work a night, focus in class and you'll get it. Anyone, regardless of previous ability, can get a 60+ by doing that.

I doubt you're doing your best in Further. Do 40 mins a night of Further and I dare you to get under 80% on your SACs. You don't need any more advice, just do it now.

I just got my results back from English.

I failed the 1st SAC and I have to redo.

My teacher hate me and I'm performing averagely. I can't do better enough in the exams to prove to the accessors that she has a grudge against me!

Instead of saying the poor result is because the teacher has a grudge, why don't you make a plan to prove to the teacher you are alright? Teachers are reasonable people (generally) in my opinion whose views on students are usually based on that students activity and punctuality in class work.

If you can't do better than what your teacher gave you, how does she have a grudge? She's just marking fairly in that case.

[Franky3121]

She literally hates me and my friends in the class. Half of the class she hates, the other she loves.

Because my friends are pre bad for year 12s.

Because my friends are pre bad for year 12s.

Bad in what way? e.g. academically/behaviour etc.

[Franky3121]

Behaviour, constantly swears at the teacher, and some of the others follow suit. I can't move seats cause it's the seating arrangement.

And sometimes I talk a lot

[Franky3121]

So she doesn't like the talkative side of me

[nondiscrypt]

Sorry if I was your teacher I'd have a grudge against you too ....

If you stopped talking and started listening you might be surprised what you can achieve.

FIRST OFF, it's definitely possible to still get 60+ at this time so remember that.

English: I really don't know how to study this so take my words as a grain of salt, I only chose a couple of adaptable quotes and explored ideas through that all the time. (Quotes that I can bring out an emotional aspect is my favourite.) But really, just don't forget about this subject like a lot of people do. Write a lot and you'll probably eventually get the hang of how to structure your sentences elegantly and you might get more skilled in adapting quotes for different topics.

Further math: CHECKPOINTS OMGG, really, they have solutions of PAST EXAM QUESTIONS in there. If you spend like even 40 min each week on those qs you probably will improve drastically as with Further practise and knowledge build-up comes from questions.

Accounting: never did this subject so I have no idea but someone at uni told me that it's all about practice too.

Studio arts: Got a decent study score on this, my advice is to cover all the components in the criteria sheet when you're doing the evaluation. That's it, you really don't need to write a lot but not very little as well (i took it as a personal competition to bs as much as i can and i bet my record of the most pages word doc i've made haha, someone from the year before mine who got 45 though, did about 1.5 page for each of her artworks). Just remember to make it substantial.

Viscomm: realllllyyyy  don't know, so I cant help!


edit:

She literally hates me and my friends in the class. Half of the class she hates, the other she loves.

Positive your teacher isn't as immature as to marking the class based on how much she likes them. She needs reasons to back up her marks.

You are in year 12 now, time to work hard and not laze around like snorlax. Be strong enough to persevere.

That sounds like your problem tbh mate. You can't expect a person not to dislike you if you are rude to them. I suggest if you want to get things back on track you talk to your teacher and say you apologise for any offence you have caused and say you want to start again on track, and ask if she can move your seat somewhere where there is less distractions so you can work harder.

Also try and sit away from your friends in class to get actual work done (I've had some issues with similar things before and it really works wonders just sitting by yourself and have nothing to do but work).

Chasej ur so wise, if your next door, then your from Bialik right?

Good luck man
