I am thinking I will get 53-55/100 in my General Maths HSC Exam after the exam (Was wanting 65 or more) and about 60-65 in the full English Exam (Standard & AOS). Will this affect my marks for my final ATAR.

Ranks before HSC Exams:

Studies of Religion 1U: 260/317
Standard English: 84/172
General Maths: 80/172
Food Technology: 18/33
IPT: 9/12
SDD: 5/16

School Ranked: bottom 10 of 200 from last year.

What ATAR Approximation will I get with these Rankings.

Hoping for more than 74

You won't be far away from 74. Any uni course that is as low as 74 will generally accept people a few ATAR points lower.
Just go fantastic in your last subjects... With any luck Maths may not count towards your ATAR.

How do you know that? UAC could take SOR and 1 unit of maths.

They are taking one unit of IPT found out from my careers adviser when doing an atar estimate and got 57.15

Don't think I will reach 75.20 from that. :cry:

You cannot possibly know now, not even your careers adviser. There are so many factors that will affect which units will be used to determine your ATAR. Just do the best as you can in your exams and let UAC determine your ATAR.

The only definite way of knowing which units won't count is if you don't turn up to the exam or you don't write anything in the exam.
