I screwed up my first semester and I'm current going to be ranked third across all subjects maybe 2nd for some if i push it. But I'm sure i can get 95+ for all subjects in the HSC, there no chance I'm gonna come first so is it still possible??? I really want to get into med

P.S Subjects are eco, chem, phys, adv eng, 2 unit + 3 unit

Thanks In Advance~

mate you're fucked.

nah, seriously. it depends.

how well is your school ranked? is there anybody else as well rounded as you? are willing to put the fucking effort in?
after all, the hsc and trials are worth over 60% of your final hsc marks thats contributing to your atar.

so if you answered yes to all the questions above, except for the first question, otherwise you'd be a fucking retard, then yes you can still get 99.95. trust yourself and don't let haters pull you down.

Unless you go to a top 5 school...*maybe* top 10...it's highly improbable to get a 99.95 ATAR with those ranks. However, seeing as 50-60 people (guesstimating, someone will pull out the official number) get 99.95 a year, the odds were already very much stacked against your favour.

But if you go to a top 200 school with those ranks it's quite probable that you would get get over 95+. Oh and there's still time to improve ranks. Oh and I doubt you need a 99.95, I can only think of one or two courses with that cut off, and they are offered at other unis at a lower ATAR. (Ok still high, but much easier than getting a 99.95)

School rank is fucked 300-400.... well since my school is beyond shit all my classes have around 12-15 students max in each subject, well rounded ughhhh lets just say the people who are above me get an average of 80-90% which is alright, everyone else seriously needs help, I'd say 50% of the class will 'fail' miserably and the rest will get a decent 70-90 range.

Think about it logically. Your school rank is 300-400. And you can't get 1st in all your subjects at that school. There's no way you can get 99.95 then. At 300-400 rank school, with your ranks you'd be looking no more than 95.

even if you got 100 in everything which would be epic you said you screwed up your first part of the year.

I persume your assessment marks are around 80-90 say 90

therefore your internal mark is 90 say if you get 100 in your external that become

ATAR mark for that subject= 190/2
= 95

there you can get 95


But this if there is no scaling

no, your internals come down to your ranks

say if you ranked 10/20 in a particular sub, then the 10th highest mark in the externals for that subject (achieved by those 20 people) becomes your internal assessment mark

no, they cater to spread of marks and variance
