Hey guys, So I'm looking at doing a Bachelor of Physiotherapy and the entry at CSU is 94 and UoN is 96... with bonus points (for regional area and subject bonuses at Newcastle) I need around 90 to get in. I'd be ecstatic with a higher mark, maybe mid 90's but I'm not overly stressed as long as I get into Uni.
I go to a school with around 50 students, but that being said our teachers have had years of experience as they all tend to stay at the school once they get here, and often have many students getting band 6's. Most have had HSC marking experience, so they don't mark easily and know where the standard is.
My Overall Ranking and Trial HSC marks are:
Advanced English (1/16) - 94/100
English Extension 1 (1/4) - 47/50
English Extension 2 (1/3) - 48/50 assessment mark (I know this doesn't mean much, a lot depends on external marking of the MW)
Biology (1/20) - 99/100
Physics (1/8) - 73/100 (this was by a massive margin... The next highest mark was 52/100)
Advanced Mathematics (1/7) - 79/100 (a lot of the marks I lost were silly or careless... could easily have picked up an extra 5+)
I realise it may seem like they give away marks, especially in Biology, but I legitimately spent SO much time memorising detail after detail, I always cram my exam paper full with as much as I know that is relevant to the questions. On the other end of the spectrum there was often people scoring ~40%, with the average ~70%. There was a relatively big gap between me and the next person, 15% in the half-yearly and 8% in the Trial.
Allowing for exam pressure and a few sideways questions (note I am most definitely NOT expecting to get these raw marks in HSC simply because of stress and with the chance of a few horrible English questions) how am I looking for a 90+ ATAR? And what sort of raw marks am I looking at to achieve it? Thanks guys!
