Do the first lot of Year 12 marks 'really' matter?

I didn't do as well as I wanted in Maths and it's daunting as hell...the wieghting for my tasks was 20% - 35%
I mean they matter as much as the weighting says I guess lol. But yeah, you really want to make sure your rank is high (so essentially get good marks but yk...)

It will matter a bit. I can't sugarcoat that. But if you failed your first one, you can absolutely pick yourself back up and do well on the next ones and you won't completely fail or smth.

In conclusion: Yes they matter, but they're not the end of the world! Pick up your game not and you can still get an excellent mark.

ohh 😯 I'm 2nd for Physics and 3rd for Business right now...top three is good I guess?
Yup! Essentially (I'm pretty sure) how it works for internals if your final mark is determined by your overall ranking - it's not just your marks. Say you come third, then you get whatever the third highest overall percentage is... It's a bit confusing but it works out in the end.

Like @its_ace21 said, rank really does matter.

I placed first in Mathematics Advanced but my internal marks were as follows:

Task One : 95/100
Task Two : 26/36
Task Three : 30/36
Task Four : 55/100

I cried over most of them... obviously lol.

Then in HSC, I ended up with a B6 and 93/100

I would say that if you're not first, aim for top three and make sure your marks are up to scratch so that there is somewhere to "fall" when alignment starts coming into play. Otherwise you may be screwed big time...

Investigations are my strength, absolutely loved them!!
I'm not worrying about it, haha, I was just giving an example of how ranks and marks do and don't matter, respectively, in some cases :D

why is making this spreadsheet fun am i destined for a mediocre & mundane 9-5 existence
currently

the plan is to import the average mark from each individual sheet to the 'Analytics' sheet –> colour indicator if your average is meeting your goals or not as well as the other pages but this requires making custom scripts
this is most definitely not a good use of my time but it's fine it's motivation woops the reds are mismatched i hate selecting in colour palettes

hi

I'm not necessarily aiming for DUX or anything, simply an ATAR above 90, however, my cohort is quite distracted and their is the possibility to top the cohort.

However their is this one guy in my class (in ALL my classes) who is suddenly doing extremley well in Physics, Ancient AND English. He wasn't really any comeptiton before but during the first term of year 12 he started 'impressing' all the teachers an now I feel insecure LOL 😭

Just felt like telling you guys 😒
bro locked in yr12
just use the gojo mentality
