I get around 77... But low confidence give class sizes.

English and business dragging you down quite a bit. Focus on them.

You also have the rank 1 booster in general maths.

History and English are imo vastly different subjects. While someone may have good a English capacity, doing well in the subject requires you to be far more conceptual in your arguments than in history where your argument its drawn from 'facts'-at least in the case of Mod and ANH. Although I do use the term 'fact' lightly considering some of the very few sources we have on an event are clearly propagandist.

Generally, I'm better in Ancient and Modern then in English + Pretty Strong Cohort for English, less so for histories + I put in a disproportionate effort for my assignments just before half yearlies and trials, trying to secure as many 1st's as I could while not really pushing it too hard in subjects i was already near the back of the cohort.
But it generally plays as it reads, in CSSA trials i got 77% for ancient, 82% for modern and 52% for English
