What marks should I be aiming for to get 99.90+? (1 Viewer)

[dumNerd]

probably a .95 with a 94 in english but a 92 is probably like a .85/.9 but yeh English jst make sure your handwriting isn't bad because external markers don't care they will just give you a trash mark and move on haha (from personal experience, my internal for english was 95 but external was 89 even tho i felt like I did much better lol, which I assume is cos of trash handwriting)

Another key element to a .9 is handwriting. Practice writing under timed conditions as much as you can. Write bigger letters as it’s clearer. Your school is more accommodating than a HSC marker - who’s paid a pittance per paper. If they can’t decipher it, you are finished, regardless of what you have heard happens. They’ve drilled us this year about this. The other thing for essay based subjects is a powerful thesis. Automatically puts you into a top band (or not) based on your intro. You obv are good at both with your SR in SOR 1. But why stop at .9 when .95 is possible ?

Broo my handwriting is worse than doctors handwriting, and in an exam i automatically write cursive and its even worse am i screwed lmao

Same lol I can barely read my essays when I get them back

I think yes with 98+ 4U

Is 98+ necessary? I thought that 4U scaling kind of plateaus around 96.

I mean it can add like 1 scaled mark but yeah that’s nothing compared to even just 1 extra English mark

 

[Run hard@thehsc]

yh fax my mate got the same marks as me in other subs expect with an extra 3 marks in 3u and 4u...... however i got about 1 mark more than him in chem and still ended with the same ATAR.

 

[nsw..wollongong]

idk

this is the tip of the iceberg cough cough copyrighted stuff

can i get a 99+ atar with my subjects:
- 4u english
- 2u maths
- legal studies
- chemistry

Yes, you can get a 99+ ATAR with your subject combination (or any other subject combination for that matter), as long as you ensure that you perform at a sufficiently high standard so that you can achieve HSC marks in the band 6/E4 range, which are needed to maximise your chances of achieving an ATAR that high.

can i get a 99+ atar with my subjects:

- 2u maths
- legal studies
- chemistry

If it holds any weight, I did legal studies (along with your other subjects except I didn’t do chem) and got 99+. But as jimmy said, you can get 99+ with your combination or any for that matter, you just need to perform well

I've seen people with HSIE + English combo come very near to 99 from surrounding schools. Your combination is not too far off, I think you got it given you know what you're doing.
