My good fellow, if I may be so bold as to ask a favour from thyself, to kindly give me an ATAR estimate.

My learning institution is ranked around 90-100 and I fear that my trial performances may have undoubtedly hindered my future ambitions.
The subjects undertaken and the performances outcome are given below...
prithee don't judge me intellectually, for my ability to do jack shit far outweighs my motivation to study
In saying this, I solemnly swear to literally work my ass off for the HSC.

English - ESL - 3/45 (89%)
Maths 2U - 56/123 (72%)
Maths 3U - 52/66 (29%) <-- Probably omitted from my ATAR calculations
Physics - 21/60 (82%)
Chemistry - 19/60 (80%)
Biology - 25/60 (79%)

By the looks of some of your marks, your school marks unbelievably nicely (sciences). You should be getting around 80.

My Atar aim is around 92 to 95. How well do I need to perform in the externals in order to attain this? All Band 6s?

Or is it even possible for me to achieve an Atar of 95?

It's definitely possible. Keep working for it, and try and smash those externals! :smile:

If you want me to try to be a bit more exact, you will probably get around 82. For the meantime, it would be pretty hard to attain 95 (being honest more like 3% to attain that). But if you do really well in the externals, you will most definitely get ~ 86 - 90.

Good luck!

I stuffed up my trials pretty badly and now I'm just hoping to atone those poor marks by smashing the externals....say I get 90-95 raw in the external for all my subjects, will that be enough to get at least 93? (hoping for med science at usyd)

you wont. be realistic in your aims. someone who scores those marks in every subject would be receiving a 99.95 atar

Hypothetically my friend, I just need to convince myself that it still is not too late for a drastic change
