Who has atar expectations which they dont think are attainable? (2 Viewers)

Just asked my mum and she said she'll be happy with me getting over 90, but she really wants me to get over 95. :/
Pressure's off. Haha
Also, to the achieving cousins comment - BAHAHAHAHAHA.
Everyone in my family is borderline retarded. My oldest brother was too embarrassed to show anyone his ATAR it was so low (probably <40). This was after he got all band 6s in SC. And my other brother dropped out in year 10 with band 3s and 4s.
And I'm not even sure about my cousins. They haven't done very well either.
So, all the expectations from my family are just because they know I'm better than everyone else in my family. But I'm pretty sure my grandparents and shit will be exstatic if I get 90+. Thank god they don't know how shit works.
My dad will be disappointed no matter what I get.

My parents have high expectations of me but they don't voice it, their way of trying not to pressure me.
I find this much more pressure than if they just told me what mark they want me to get.
I also got the "we just want you to be happy" speech.

I'm kind of aiming for a good 95+ for Adv Science, but I'm highly doubting my ability to get that much.
I'm even stressed about getting 80+ for Bachelor of Science :|
The thing is, I don't really know what kind of effort is required to get these marks... I'm a relatively hard worker at a pretty low ranked school (~250) so I have no idea of the standard of work I need to achieve :|
The main thing that's stressing me out though is the english papers, which could make or break my marks.
It's going to feel SOOOOO good finishing the english exams though.

School rank in the 100's is good as there is up to 700 schools for the HSC.
But you should be aceing HSC (MEANING 80'S-90'S)
