Regarding your dilemma, I agree 100% with OG's advice. Since this is gonna affect ur ATAR fight to get even 1 extra mark & GL!

Oh no worries man, we got you! Well 25% theoretically means it's only 12.5% in the long term, as internals overall account for 50% of your final HSC mark whilst externals make up the remaining 50%. Honestly, I completely understand how it feels to be super confident in your performance only to be disappointed by the actual result, questioning how on earth you could've done better. This occurred to me last year when all my friends got 19-20s in a speech assessment whilst I got 14, despite always being the superior one in English. It literally made me feel like shit, even my friends in Standard got better, albeit being marked way more leniently... but I still couldn't shake that feeling. I get hung up on less-than-ideal marks for way longer than the ordinary individual, but towards the end of the year I think you'll come to realise that these shortcomings actually have a very minimal impact on your overall mark - that is, as long as you continue to persevere through these errors. This happens to me basically every year. You still have a long LONG way to go, just as all of us do, so exert all your focus and energy on your future results instead of dwelling on something that cannot be changed. Cheesy I know, but it's true. I know SO many people who started off the year with atrocious marks in term one of year 12 - literally last rankings - but got an HSC external mark of 98, the highest her school had ever received. I've been relying on these motivational anecdotes to keep me going, perhaps you should too :)

Hahaha yeah, I'll try my best. I'm praying for my soul so hard right now... I know I'll be crushed if I attain a mark less than 85. Ugh hahaa

clovvy:
Tbh your marks are waay better than mine for english... due to my poor performance in advanced I was strongly adviced to take standard which I thought about for 2 weeks in the holidays... I actually did and I don't really see much difference with the exception that the teacher for my standard class is waay better than the advanced one.... the fact that you are around that range is already something imo... I personally wouldn't say anything motivational or give advice as I barely passed my first assessment for english

The Special One:
I know schools keep SACS but can you ask for a photocopy?

Many many times teachers are wrong and many times Tutors can be wrong impossible to say who is to blame here without further info

What are your Tutors qualifications? I've found the best ones are ex head of English Tutors I had such a good one for English helped me ace the subject.

And she did discover my school was teaching the course wrong hahah so in that case she was in the right for the bad sac mark I got.
