So, I currently am in yr 12 and go to a medium-low ranked school (200 as of last year).
My subjects and ranks are as follows
Mathematics Extension 2: 6/6
Mathematics Extension 1: 12/17
Mathematics 2 unit: 1/50
English Advanced: 9/50
Chemsitry: 5/21
Physics: 9/40
Engineering Studies: 2/20
Studies of religion: 13/31
Our mathematics cohort in general is pretty competitive. Unfortunately since I just passed my first exam for extension 2, I will always have that rank for it, even though I am improving and I got 91% in my last assessment task. However, my cohort for this subject is extremely good and I dont see this effecting my HSC mark as all of us will get 90+ in our external exam. With extension 1, I have a weakness in perms and coms which completely ruined my rank from being first in my first assessment to a drastic twelfth after I just passed this exam. My cohort in itself in this subject is strong in the top 4 ranks however, the rest of the cohort will not get above 85 in their externals. With chemistry, I am happy with my rank because everyone above me is guaranteed 90+ in their externals. In physics i was coming first in the first assessment however did not do as well in the second. Our cohort is strong, with the top 10 having an average of 92%, however, I the assessments have been fairly easy. I just want to know if I do well in my trials and next assessment, will I achieve over 95? I am confident I will achieve over 90 in my externals for each subject except english, however, im just worried about how ranks would effect me. I am also thinking of dropping engineering studies and SOR as I have absolutely no interest in it and with engineering studies, the whole cohort would struggle getting over 70% in the exam other than the two leading ranks. I just wanna know if I still have a chance. Thanks guys.
