Your ranks look pretty good. What is your schools rank? Bit hard to estimate without that.

In that case i'd say high 80s, low 90s.

Doesn't work like that. Marking standards vary a lot from school to hsc and in addition to that there is aligning as well, impossible to determine how difficult your schools exams are or how harshly they mark them - that's why ranks are used. BUT judging off your ranks and your school rank i'd say getting in the 80s should be no problem if your performance in the hsc is comparable to how you went in school. That doesn't mean you can get lazy though!
