heyy im doing the hsc this year n i do little study because i just need around 70 atar. Im doing pretty crap subjects but im ranked real good in them

These are my ranks and marks before trials and completion of school assessment mark

General maths - 3/15, Mark right now out of weightings of assesments = 36/60
Standard english - 2/19 Mark right now out of total weightings of assesments = 45.4/60
IPT - 1/12 - Mark right now out of total weightings of assesments = 71.5/75
Design and tech - 1/7 = Mark right now out of total weightings of assesments = 81/90
Senior science - 1/9 = Mark right now out of total weightings of assesments = 38/50

So i need an atar of about 70-75, with how im going can i get that?? even i stuff up in trials can i still really achieve that atar?

P.S, there arent many students in one class cos my school is new

Thanks.

how do u find out what ur school rank is?
how exactly to ranks affect ur atar? is it all about rank? do ur actual assessment marks count for anything other than getting u ur rank?

Ranks affect your school assessment mark which makes up 50% of your final HSC mark. In year 12, it is ALL about rankings, your assessment marks are meaningless. School rankings can be found on this website - http://bettereducation.com.au/Results/Hsc.aspx
but dont assessments marks in a particular subject make up ur total school assesment mark for that subject? What do u mean they are meaningless?

your assessment marks are based off ranking and performance of your cohort in the external exam

highest assessment mark is determined by the highest exam mark, 1st place in assesssments is given 1st place hsc exam mark and everyone else fits in some sort of bell curve

e.g. person A comes first in assessments but only gets 80 in hsc, person B is 5th in assessments but 1st in exam with 95

person A gets person B's exam mark so their assessment mark becomes 95

person B was 5th so would get something like 75 idk

They dont factor when calculating your assement ranks. For example, a mate of mine last year did SOR1 and he only got 68% for his assessment mark. However, his final HSC assessment mark was aligned to 88, as he was coming 4/90 in the subject.
