Hey! I attend a public school (starting out with that because it definitely contributes). I do 13 units and I'm going alright in most of them. I have finished all of my AT1s and almost all of my AT2s and am just waiting on the marks. My school didn't go to well in ATAR last year and it's kind of concerning, however I have a few smart peers that will hopefully bring me up. Here are my marks let me know what you think:

Visual Arts: 90% in first assessment, haven't done second yet. (TIED FIRST RANK)
English Advanced: 90% in first assessment, submitted second a couple days ago and am aiming for the 80-90 range. (TIED SECOND RANK)
English X1: 91% in first assessment, don't have a second one. (FIRST RANK)
English X2: 80% in Viva Voce, wasn't really happy with it but I think my lit review was much better (hopefully 85-90 range). (FIRST RANK)
Legal Studies: 92% in first, 91% in second. (FIRST RANK)
Modern History: 88% in first, 96% in second. (TIED SECOND RANK)
Investigating Science: My teacher literally will not mark my assignment from OVER 100 DAYS AGOOOO, so yeah probs around 95-100 though. (UNKNOWN RANK)
Science Extension: 98% in first. (TIED SECOND RANK)

So yeah your feedback would be appreciated, thank youuuu!!

Hey, 15 units must be hectic, I dropped maths to get mine down to 13 and tbh it was one of my best decisions. So if you feel really overwhelmed by everything, or if you are going significantly worse in one of your subjects (which was maths for me) I would recommend considering the option of dropping one. In relation to the study schedule, I don't really have a set one, more just doing what is coming up, like if i have a modern test coming up on Wednesday, I will prioritise that. In the exam seasons, I just sort of do a couple of hours for one subject, have a break, then move on (this probably makes no sense, but yeah). I probably need more of a routine but this is just what works for me :)

Also just a note: Year 11 was kind of a practice for me, I am doing much better this year because i discovered what worked for me, so don't get too stressed just yet and focus on yourself and what is right for you!

How do I see my schools rank? Only 4 band 6s and all in music :/ I also ended up getting 100 in investigating, first rank.
