78 -- 80 i think
Does it matter what the marks actually are? that's alot lower than I was hoping for.

rough assessment mark calculations were:

Modern History: 74.9
Society and Culture: 92
Studies of Religion II: 85
Visual Art: 84.5
Advanced English: 87.9

I go to a selective senior school that all the teachers basically have marked HSC for 10 or more years and mark our assesments to that level? that proabably doesnt matter but shit man.... hahaha, 80 is not good enough :/.

There is no definitive way of converting ranks into an ATAR (ie no formula). Thats why they are unreliable. But they can give you a general idea as to what a person might get.

Well, if those trial marks were marked at a HSC level, and you replicate them on the externals, you would probably be looking at mid-high 80's maybe 90's. Are you sure of your school ranking (if its fully selective it should be ranked higher).

They were overall assesment marks and our assesments have ALL been marked at HSC marking standard.
It's selective but it's not soley based on marks, based on marks and ability to complete independant learning and motivate yourself. Basically it's a senior school run like a Uni/TAFE.

Okay, so basically if I get better marks in my HSC exams I should be able to get a 90.05? that's what I need.

righto! that's alot better. can pump my marks up by doing solidly in HSC exams. I've crusied through most of this year so hoping the major increase in study and effort for these exams will push me upto 90.05.

thanks for your help guys!

I reakon 80-85. As your coming first in 3 subjects, your ATAR will mostly be determined by your performance on the externals.

Jumping on the bandwagon a bit here...

2U Maths: 71/85 (Includes 3U)
English Advanced: 106/160
Economics: 21/55
Business Studies: 11/15
Modern History: 23/26

School Rank: 7th. The school's really good at Maths, a bit weaker on English. In almost every subject, a shift of 1% or 2% on internal yearly marks would yield 5 or 6 ranks, it's VERY condensed up the top across the grade (2% better in Business and I'd be =8th etc).

Cheers :)
