Synonyms for "do my best"?
do my best
try my best
bring out the best of my ability/talent
tap into my ability?
These are what I have known. Is "tap into my ability" a correct expression? And what are the other synonyms for "do my best" used in everyday language or written language?
Sorry that I can't use google to search for the other possible synonyms because it is blocked here...
Thank you!

To be very lucky.
It is not a proper synonym, but in several cases it will bring similar results.

'try my best' is more or less a synonym of 'do my best'. Obviously, 'try' and 'do' have different meanings, but in the context of this particular phrase, I think that they amount to the same thing.
Neither of the other two phrases are quite right, I'm afraid. Two other possible phrases come to mind:
'do my utmost' - this is quite a formal phrase
'give 100%' - this is an informal expression
