Since you're dropping Business, and picking up MEX2 (which I'll assume you'll get first in), I'll estimate an ATAR of 94-97.

78-81

78-82

And Biology!

93-96. Try and move up a few ranks in 2U Mathematics if you can! :)

Will you be taking on MEX2 in Year 12 :)? Will you drop anything?

Is anyone here doing PDHPE out of curiosity? It's normally a popular course, but I don't know of anyone on BOS doing it (yet!).

Advanced would suit you more, especially with your career aspirations. It would also make you more appealing in a university interview.

You should note that the quality of candidature is significantly lower in Standard than Advanced, and therefore far fewer Band 6's will be achieved.

91-94.

Depends on your interests and goals. If you want an ATAR above 90, then doing English Standard is not the best idea. But if you don't really mind, English Standard could be okay. The primary different between the subjects is the texts you study. In English Standard, you'll read modern...

You've solved the problem by yourself! Don't do Chemistry. You're not interested in it and don't want to do it, so do not feel obliged to. Your choices are pretty good! I assume you are doing 2U Mathematics. I suggest that Earth and Environmental Science or Japanese Beginners would be the most...

Yes, you'll need to be atleast in the top 3 for all of your subjects, definitely. But this all depends on your school rank. You can check it here; http://bettereducation.com.au/Results/Hsc.aspx . This website displays the top 200 schools by HSC results. If your school isn't there, you'll very...

I think shak99 meant in the school, but I think that even that won't be enough for 95+. Maybe that'll get an 88-90. Maybe!

It's going to be difficult for you to get your desired ATAR. Every single one of your subjects are low scaling, with the exception of Biology, SOR 1 and Modern History which are average scaling. You'll need to be coming in the top 3 for all of these courses, and first in all of them to even...

Validity and reliability are words that explain how repeatable an experiment's results are. So for example, imagine an experiment that produced these results from 10 individual experiments; 26cm, 26.5cm, 26cm, 25.5cm, 26cm, 26cm, 26cm, 27cm, 26cm, 26cm. We can deduce that this particular...

80-82 Try to improve your advanced English, Chemistry and Ancient marks!

Geography scales slightly better than Ancient History. I would say to evasharman that Ancient History could be the better option for you. It compliments your writing and reading skills that I assume are quite strong due to your subject selection. Many people do really well doing both Ancient...

The histories are about the same in content.

Pick Biology. Firstly, you're bound to do better in a subject you are good at and enjoy. I know so many people who have chosen a subject because it scales well, or because it is assumed knowledge for a course, but they don't like it! This is the biggest mistake one can make for the HSC, because...
