I go to a selective school, expecting a bad atar

Hey guys

I currently attend Melbourne High and I haven't been doing too well in terms of sacs. I put in a lot of effort but yeah, no hope.
These are my subject and my range from lowest score to highest score this year:

Accounting: 45-59%
Bio: 92-100%
Chemistry: 37-53%
English Language: 53-75%
Methods: 23-66% (lol don't judge me)

...Yeah, as you can see, I'm not a bright student.
I just hope VCAA understands that mhs has hard as sacs and scales me up to that 90+ atar  ;)
I'm just joking, but if you go to a selective school and already graduated, please give me some tips! Better yet, please post your scores to make mine look better.

I can't really give you much advice, but my teachers tell us that they need to make sacs hard enough that they can separate out everyone well. Since you go to a selective entry school everyone must be pretty high achievers so they probably need to make the sacs harder than regular schools to make sure they are ranking your cohort well, other wise everyone might be clumped at the 90-100% mark and they wouldn't be able to separate you. My school is pretty average so high marks at my school might be average or low at your school. My teachers remind us a lot that the actual percentage for sacs don't matter, just the rankings in the cohort.

Thanks for your input!
The sacs here are insanely difficult, but the subjects will be scaled up.
A good friend of mine graduated from mhs in 2016, he sucked shit at specialist (probs near the bottom of the cohort) but still managed a 25 study score.

brenden:
Keep trying hard, that's all there is to it. You'll be fine, your SACs will moderate well.

Sine:
Assuming sac difficulty has stayed consistent across the years. 92%-100% on bio sacs at MHS is seriously good. In the past I've heard a few people average low 90's at MHS getting scaled to 100 and got high 40 study scores.
