I reakon 89-93. Standard could pull your ATAR down.

Your rankings aren't horrendous, unless you're taking into account the fact that your subjects don't scale particularly well.
I'd guess mid 80s.

Arghhh how I regret dropping to standard Btw, if you don't mind me asking, how is it that you know how to make all your estimates?

There is no definitive way of estimating an ATAR from ranks, so any ATAR estimate is an educated guess, even when made by your school. That is why ATAR estimates are unreliable and inaccurate. As for me personally, I base my estimates on the ATARs from people in my year group and people I know from other schools.

As much as I hate to say it, dropping from advanced is likely to be a bad decision for you.

Oh, okay thank you. And yes, although it's too late now just out of curiosity would it have been better for me to have ranked say 37/65 in advance English than 9/78 in standard?

More then likely yes. Standard's aligning is horrifically bad. Less than 5% get above 80 (only 64 out of 30,000 standard students got a band 6 in the subject last year).

Now I really hate myself. Oh well, I'm just going to have to work super duper hard in the other subjects which don't align as badly as standard! Thanks for your help

No problem, hopefully your other subjects will compensate for standard, or maybe you will be able to do really well in english and buck the trend.

HA fat chance, but hopefully the other subjects will
