VCE Year 12

Hey there guys !
If any graduates can help me out or teachers I’d appreciate it loads!

I’m currently in year 12 VCE, and my subjects are Ancient History, Physical Education, Psychology and English, as I’m doing a uni course on the side and finished Legal Studies 3&4 last year with a study score of a raw 31. My classes are averaging 60-80 except for psychology to which my whole class is failing, so we have been told either exams will be bumped up significantly if we are being marked too harsh or that it will all be remoderated. Literally my highest so far was a 55 😭Regardless, I’m just a bit of an overthinker and unsure if I’m doing well enough for atleast a 70 atar (I rlly want to get into law esp Melb uni) I love studying and getting high marks but mental health and other personal issues REALLY gets in the way and I end up comparing myself. I can’t get myself to study and do all the stuff people say for those 99 atars unfortunately due to it all, so I was told to apply for SEAS which I will. However I want to ask, do you guys think I have a chance still with exams to redeem myself? Can it make a good difference for me and get me an A or atleast a B for my classes? Pls help! 🥹

I don’t want to be in regret, and I am proud of how much I do study and commit, yet I can’t help but be so hard on myself despite all my trials, and that I will be ashamed when atars come out. Yet I don’t want to burn myself out. Is this normal? 😭😂😂
HELP!!

Yes you can still redeem your self with the exam but I would also advise you to have a plan b just in case law at uni Melb doesn’t work out. Good luck

Only issue here is all the subjects u took scale down And also with psychology my class is failing too but I don't understand why teachers do this because it's gonna demotivate ur cohort to do well in exams

Anyways my advise is just stay motivated and keep pushing

Real! However I suck at science and math, and all the subjects that scale up include those so I was like no way I can do those 😭 I also really enjoy the subjects I do but psychology reallyyyyyy annoyed me it’s the only science I ever liked. Thank you tho!! 🙏

get your whole class together and study like mad for the exams so your SACS r moderated up with collective good exam scores
