A: hard to say since A is first for almost anything - 98+

I remember you saying that was the ~highest~ ATAR for your school last year

B: 90

Student A will vary cause you're essentially working for yourself. Im worried that you only do 10 units and ext2 english is a subjective subject so if you pull it off id say 95ish but you could go as low as 85-90. You really need to ace your HSC exams.

Student B is about 90ish

Considering everything, I'm really aiming for like a 96~ but I would like 97-98. 99 is a bitch of a stretch.

So it is possible to attain that?

 

[slyhunter]

You're in control of your ATAR now so it's up to how well you do in the externals.

 

[acemusic415]

Do they mark tougher externally or just fair?

 

[slyhunter]

They follow a criteria, some of my teachers say they mark easier than internals since internal assessments are designed to rank people whereas externals look to give marks.

 

[acemusic415]

I often hear that the actual exams are easier than the trials. Is that true?

 

[slyhunter]

Yes (at my school at least) but generally this is true
