No it's not bad. But is it really as good as you are making it out to be? I think not.

As I've said, without improvement, I dont see it happening.

They aren't great is what I'm saying .. I'm not saying his atar would be abysmal, but I don't think the people posting above 90 are correct either

I'd be more worried about your english and extension math ruining your atar ... I'm by no way saying you cannot ever achieve above 90 .. I am saying, if everyone remains constant, and you don't improve, then I highly doubt you will.

Why? 53 people got over 90 last year. He's not that greatly ranked, to me suggesting a lot of others ( >53 people) would already be ahead of him, for the likelihood of achieving 90

I can work out percentages -.- I wouldn't be so sure about getting over 90 ...

And? I can't see how he'll get over 90 in all honesty. If he does, he has my congratulations. Until then, my opinion remains.

I'm aware a pretty large number of kids get over 90 .. Yet he's got average ranks, at an average school .. In my opinion an equal number of kids who obtain over 90 state wide, would be ahead of him.. Thus leaving him with an atar below 90

If he's miles from first ranks, how can he ever achieve 90 ..

Anyone not doing particular well shouldn't be given a high estimate. I could ask a child that, and their opinion would be the same.

Can I ask for your percentages to try and grasp the overall performance of your cohort?

I don't have access to his percentages to make an accurate estimate on a calculator. I see the validity of your point , however I don't think he could be performing well enough to achieve 90, with those ranks..

I wouldn't give too much weight to my schools estimate either. But considering it's on par with multiple other estimates, I see no reason why I shouldn't acknowledge it. I never stated my opinion holds more weight. In fact, everyone here in my opinion is stating mine holds less than theirs.

To downplay his ability or not, shouldn't be a problem, considering he is posting his ranks, in which prove it. Secondly I said he won't get over 88 if he maintains the same standards of work. (Obviously that would take into account the belief those above him remain above him in externals). For...

Tbh I'm not even sure what your argument is. I don't see OP getting over 90, and you do. Should have ended there.

My school has many hsc markers, so I doubt marking criteria is easy .. especially seeing as though I was in some instances 60% above the average in my exams ..

Was never insulted. However I will clarify all arguments pertaining to my own opinions if I see necessary.

So I should prove my ranks to those whom clearly have no idea how to give an estimate? For some reason I don't feel entitled to do so. I wonder why ... By high 90's, my lowest subject has an internal percentage of 96 .. So I'd say my atar estimate is correct, if not somewhat lower than what I...

Unfortunately the majority of people aren't always right. Laughable nonetheless at your naivety.

I know what you were referring too, as to why I clarified the basis of my estimate to you.
