Can I still get an ATAR 95+???

Can I still get my planned ATAR???

I've done pretty poorly in the first semester of this year. Last year I got a 40+ score for my 3/4 so that set me in a good position, but this year my SACS are averaging at around 30% to 75%. I do physics, maths methods, literature, history revolutions and Indonesian SL. If I somehow bumped up my SAC marks to somewhere near the high 80s and did well on my exam, is there still a possibility I could get an ATAR that's 95+???

PLS reply, I dunno whether to give up or not heh.

First of all DON'T give up! There's still plenty of time to study for exams and if you give up now you'll never know what you can achieve  ;D It's hard to predict whether a 95 is still possible, given that we don't know your averages in each subject or the strength of your cohorts for each subject. That being said, it probably IS still possible just don't expect to get there without a lot of work. Most subjects (excluding maths) you have a separate U3 ranking to U4, so you've really only completed 20-30% of each subject (score wise). As such if you can really lift your game it is possible, but not if you don't make drastic changes to your study habits. Ask yourself, why were your scores so low, did you procrastinate, study poorly, was it online learning? It will be hard but not impossible to change these habits.

Giving up is never the solution, even if you don't hit a 95, putting in the work now might mean you get a low 90s or mid-80s, which is considerably higher than the 70 or 60 you might get if you give up. Your 40+ in your last 3/4 is proof that you can do it, you just need to step up your game and start consistently studying in a smart way :) Of course, there is no guarantee and changing habits will be hard but you CAN do it, you just need to start today  ;D

My last advice would be to really prioritise literature as this subject must be in your top 4 (unless you did another english for your 3/4 last year which I'm assuming you didn't). For this reason a low study score in this subject will pull down your ATAR so it's worth putting a little more effort into it.
