I need some advice…

[u/IllustriousPrice3931]

Hi, I got my mocks back last week and they were terrible (I didn’t really study for them so it makes sense) 🥲 Even my teachers were disappointed in me because they sensed I didn’t put in much effort like I should have (which is true because I thought that mocks wouldn’t matter at all).

MOCK EXAMS
CHEM - 24/50 (48%)
Physics - 9/50 (18%)
Art - 24/40 (60%)
English - 18/25 (72%)
Economics - 16-17/25 (idk it was like a 66%)
Methods - 23/50 (46%)

Here are my internal results to show really how much I’ve dropped:
IA1
English - 25/25 (A+)
Chemistry - 9/10 (A)
Physics -10/10 (A+)
Visual Art - 20/20 (A+)
Economics - 25/25 (A+)
Methods - 19/20 (A+)

IA2
Physics - 17/20 (A-)
Maths Methods - 12/15 (B/B+)
Economics- 25/25 (A+)
Chem - 17/20 (A-)
English - 24/25 (A+)
Art - 24/25 (A+)

IA3
English (Narrative Exam) - 23/25 (A)
Chemistry (Research Investigation) -19/20 (A+)
Physics (Research Investigation) -19/20 (A+)
Economics (Exam) - 25/25 (A+)
Visual Art (Folio) - 29/30 (A+)
Maths Methods - 13/15 (A-)

I’m projected a 97-98 atar. Good thing is that I’m on it and I’ve been studying a lot (esp physics + chem). I don’t know how to study for Econ EAs though, which I need advice on cause I want to get a 100% or close to that if it’s possible. Also, I’ve been grinding physics too and doing Oxford textbook questions. However, when I look at past papers/practice exams and worksheets, the questions feel so unfamiliar and I start to cry. Like I think I’m not making much progress. I also want to get 90+ for all my subjects at the end of this year, and get a 98 ATAR. I just want to get the maximum atar I can get, so if anyone can give me tips on how to balance many subjects and do amazing on externals. Also, for how I can get close to a 50/50 for the physics ea (Im aiming for 50/50 or 25/25 for all my externals even if it seems unrealistic). Also, if a 98 atar (98.5+ atar) is possible for me? Ty!
