ATAR estimate (1 Viewer)

[zhertec]

These are only estimates of my school ranks (albeit fairly accurate):

Eng Adv: ~120/167 (disgusting, yea I know :L)
Mathematics: 57/113 (known)
Mx1: 87/118 (known)
Chem: ~2 /98
Bio: ~10/49
Phys ~40/95

School rank: ~15

How are there more people doing maths extension 1 than Mathematics? I swear thats not possible

Because there would be 4U students who have to sit 3U exams but don't have to sit 2U exams.

Probably looking at 94 to 96.

Thanks guys, main things that I need to bump up? besides english obv...lol

P.S. what was your best method of improving your english marks?

 

[enigma_1]

Try bring up at least mathematics. Your mx1 cohort would probably be strong.
And yes unfortunately bringing english up must occur for a significant increase in your atar. If ypu can bring up english to like top 70 along with an increase in maths/ phys then your estimate would be ~ 98

For english look at sample responses, and their ideas and develop your own. Know what the purpose of the module is in the rubric. Oh and if you have shit vocab lyk me then thesaurus is your best friend.

Thanks for the advice! Is there anyway to quantify like the impact of doing these things on your marks? Like did you start to achieve A's more often etc?

And what the ranks be looking like if I were to obtain 98+?

what school?

Prefer not to say atm

Luckily I had really good english teachers in year 9 and 10 who went through how to write good essays etc. So yeah it did help me get in the A range. Especially since I naturally suck at english and got band 2 in Naplan reading lol. So hsc english is definitely much easier to do well in.

And I know some ppl say don't memorise essays but tbh unless you're one of those ppl who can spit out highly sophisticated vocab as well as a well written argument, I'd highly recommend memorising essays and then tweaking it according to your argument. It works.

It'd be good to sit down with your teacher and ask him/her to go through and explain which areas you can improve in. They should help you with it and if they're lazy like some teachers lol, you can complain to the head/principal because it's not fair.


Eng 70/167
Maths 40/113
Mx1 75/118
Chem 2/98 maintain
Bio 10/49 maintain
Physics 30/95

This will defs get you in the 98-99 range since your school rank is really good.

What do you think would be required to get a low 99?

P.S. thanks for all the advice

 

[astroman]

dat chem doe

No worries

99 guaranteed with something like:

Eng Adv: ~45/167
Mathematics: 35/113 (known)
Mx1: 70/118 (known)
Chem: ~2 /98
Bio: ~7/49
Phys ~35/95

Your chem and bio can make up for a lower english rank.
