Hi, I need some guidance because I have a feeling I'm going to capitulate (ranking wise) in my trials. I want an ATAR >91. Preferably 92. (you guessed it, Engineering :haha:). Just need to know how possible it is to attain my goal with my current setup before trials.

School rank: 30-40
English Standard: 9/68
Maths: 26/75
Extension 1 Maths: 40/67
Modern History: 5/15 (very tight cohort though, I lost 2 ranks by 1 mark, I can easily get back my ranks)
History Extension: 3/8
Earth & Environmental Science: 3/15

I know I do some pretty questionable-scaling subjects, so can anyone clarify the scaling I will suffer with these ranks?

Are these pre-trial ranks?

Perform well in trials and HSC and you will get 91+, lucky to be at a high ranking school so your assessment rank should be fine. It's very possible.

You are probably looking at high 80s atm.

Yes trials start tomorrow for me. I'm abit concerned with how well I will perform in trials (competitiveness + difficulty + crap timetable placement + not really giving 100% effort). I will definitely try my hardest in HSC though.

You should be putting in 100% in to your trials, your final ranking will play a major part in your atar.
