I still remember the shock I felt when I opened my report.Afterall, this was coming from someone who was a reserve 32 for North Sydney Girls High School, who always sat in the audience seats during Presentation Day watching others receive awards, envious of their talents and results. Particularly, the sense of dread that I can never be good enough followed me through the first few terms of year 11 and 12, when my ranks were never in the top 5.You can imagine my delight when I saw that I came 2nd and 3rd for Chemistry and Physics respectively.

I graduated from Abbotsleigh in 2024 with 1st in Physics, and an Honour prize for being top 20 of the cohort.But here I’m going to share with you a secret I’ve kept for many years until now, something I was embarrassed to tell even my closest friends at school: In Year 7, I failed the school entrance exam and only got into Abbotsleigh by pure luck when a spot became open.

Below average - 68%. Both Ext 1 and Ext 2. They were going to count to my ATAR.That week, when I remembered what happened, tears would spring uncontrollably to my eyes.All I could think was that I wasn’t smart enough. Perhaps I would never be good enough.So how did I get 100% in my very next exam?

After the exam, I thought I cooked. When I received my results, I realized I had gotten cooked instead.The first time I opened my exam results in Year 11, my heart sank faster than my grades did.By the end of that year, I ranked 2nd in my Chemistry exam (yep, the same me who once Googled “what even is a mole”)

Come Year 9 Term 1, and we were all waiting patiently outside Dr. Jaggar’s office (our principal with whom we receive our reports).“Daniel, come in!”What would I tell my mother once I got home this time? My heart was racing.“Congratulations Daniel, you were the most improved student in your cohort this exam block. You jumped almost 80 ranks in one semester!”

My vision blurred with tears the longer I stared at my double digit ranking.That afternoon I spent hours sobbing into my mother’s arms before I could even find a hint of courage to tell her my score. I was too scared to face the anger and disappointment that would replace the expectant look on her face.he next exam, the trials, I placed 2nd. Although overall, I only placed 4th in Chemistry, I had the highest raw HSC Chemistry score in my school. Sleep-deprived at 5am in Korea, my whole family cheered in celebration.

I had a bad feeling simmering at the bottom of my gut.My teacher moved slowly from table to table, handing out the yearly test papers face down.It would just be another below-average mark.Huh. That’s weird.Since that day, I went from being a below-average student with a result of a 77 Year 11 to a 94 in Year 12. I had ranked first, only losing one mark in the first year 12 chemistry exam.

Maths and science were never my strongest suits. Time after time, exam after exam, I would make silly mistakes, which all added up to cost me many marks in exams. I hated seeing “NO!” and “Careless” written all over my exam scripts in bright red ink. I never got a HD grade in maths in Years 7, 8 and 9.Fast-forward to my HSC year, and I managed to achieve top bands in all my maths and science subjects, and an ATAR of 99.95. I’m now studying the Bachelor of Science and Doctor of Medicine at the University of Sydney – a degree that seemed out of my reach just a couple of years ago.

Year 11 Physics was a completely new experience to me, revealing new concepts which seemed daunting and challenging.During exams, I would panic, seeing the page filled with phrases and concepts like forces and electromagnetism which still felt foreign after terms of learning.After each exam, I would come back with a mark I wasn’t satisfied with, feeling disappointed about the errors I made.

Most of my time was wasted playing video games, watching youtube and voice calling with friends.I finished the HSC with an atar of 99.85, finishing top 10 internally and achieved a state rank mark for chemistry, and received a state rank for mathematics extension 1.

Hi, I’m Andersen. I graduated from Sydney Boys in 2023 and am now studying Medicine at UNSW. After receiving the worst marks I’d ever gotten in my Prelim Chem Half-Yearly, I thought that my luck had run out - that my natural talent would only take me so far and I wasn’t really that smart. But I knew that wasn’t true, and that something had to change - and it did. I finished the HSC with an ATAR of 99.80, ranking 4th in SBHS Chemistry with a 97 in the HSC.

My story is probably the same as you, dear reader. Once an unmotivated and underachieving student, I found myself at the mercy of poor grades during the beginning of my time as a senior (Yr11~), ranking in the bottom half of the grade for maths and bottom for physics.However, upon Yr12 and the HSC looming overhead, with the invaluable assistance I received not only from fellow peers and teachers, I was able to achieve the results I did in what little time I had left.
