Fear of failure (2 Viewers)

[Anononthehunt]

Anyone else feel like they're going to totally fail the HSCs? I don't measure my ATAR score because I don't really care about internal vs external marks, but jesus christ suddenly the pressure is so real. I've done fairly well in the trials (probably an average of 75-90ish out of 100 for all my subjects except Studies of Religion), but that doesn't feel like enough in the face of the exams I've been preparing for for 13 years of my school life.
I don't know I just feel paralysed with fear a good 90% of the time even when I'm studying and every essay I write or study cards I go over never seem good enough for anyone, let alone NESA.
I know I'm not going to get a top ATAR mark but at this point I feel like I'm closer to a mystery mark. Is anyone else feeling like this?? All my classmates seem to have everything sorted out, calm + confident etc etc but I'm just.. not.

no that is so real. but i promise other than the kids who are gonna get 99.95, EVERYONE is stressed and feeling the pressure. some people are just better at hiding it. just do what you can do and that's that.
just make sure to try your best so that when you are looking back you will have no regrets, that is the worst feeling ever

You won't fail lol. Trust.
Also just because your classmtes are calm and confident doesn't mean they're carefree, if anything they're dying inside too.
You did well in the trial, so don't worry.

Most of your atar is already set in stone. The marathon is almost done, you just got to do the finishing sprint. Just put your bum in the seat on exam day and say your prayers.
