Okaaaaay after neglecting this space for ages, I have decided to come back.
So trial period was not as stressful as I expected it to be, either that or I'm getting a lot better at managing my stress (which I really do owe to my amazing head English teacher and all the motivational speeches). I was really worried that trials was going to totally ruin my marks and my ATAR was going to go down a drain, but I was wrong.
Our trial period went for 3 weeks and a day. I only mention the day because I had an exam, and it was my last every internal exam. I began my HSC journey with a math exam, and ended it with one... which I find kinda symbolic and stuff (but it could just be the English student in me).
To fill you all in with what's happened over the past three months;
I handed in my English ext2 major, and was told that my reflection was pretty good, but I am personally unsure about my actual major, and marking is super subjective, so lets hope for a high band e3, but an e4 would be amazing because then I wouldn't have both eco units count to my ATAR....
My worst rank in trials was 5th, for math ext 1, which im personally very proud of. And I think I ended both trials and overall intervals pretty well, just need to pull through for the next two weeks (personally cannot wait).
Unfortunately I have not graduated yet, or had my formal. My school waits until after HSC exams to get both of these things done, so I am still counting down the days to actually officially graduate
My trial marks were;
English Advanced - 91/100 (3rd place)
English Extension One - 43/50 (2nd place)
Mathematics Extension One - 70/100 (5th place)
Economics - 84/100 (1st place)
Legal Studies - 92/100 (3rd place)
I am most disappointed for legal, as it was my worst mark all year, and I didn't even find the exam that hard.
These marks put my final internals at
English Advanced - 88% (7/62)
English Extension One - 89% (2/12)
English Extension Two - 93% (2/5)
Mathematics Extension One - 69% (5/12)
Economics - 86% (2/15)
Legal Studies - 95% (1/58)
Overall, I'm pretty proud of how half this whole journey ended, now I just gotta push a little more and (hopefully) see great results on the other side.
I think majority of my stress comes from English advanced, as I really want to band 6 that and extension, I just hope I can replicate what I did in trials in the HSC, even if I feel like I can't
So, good luck to everyone for the next month, absolutely cannot wait to finish!
peace out,
