It's extremely difficult to say, but my guess would be 75+ maybe.

It could be above 75, it's really too hard to tell given how low the school is ranked.
I'm sure it's not that hard, or low, since he's provided the raw HSC marks he thinks he's going to get.

That doesnt really mean much, it's an extremely subjective bit of information - I didnt even look at those raw marks to be honest. Given the low school rank and subject combination, it's extremely difficult to tell.

Usually with an estimate, you take into account ranks and a school rank plus any other relevant information (see my estimates guide). Personally, someone guessing their marks in an exam is really unreliable, because it's super subjective.

I think you're overestimating your marks tbh. You go to a school ranked in the 600s, so your school gets veeery little band 6's, so if you're not first in your course, I would say the chances of you getting a band 6 in that subject are very slim.

i'm not talking about I'm not talking about B6 overall mark for the subject... I'm talking about the aligned mark for the external hsc exams...

Hey. I am in a very volatile position like you.

Few years back, max. someone did the same subjects as me and got a 92 ATAR.
Then a few years later, same thing, max. 81.

Both of them were first placed in my school.

School rank is usually around 570-600.

As enoilgam said, and in my opinion due to your ranks being a bit lower, I would say anything between 75-90 is what you have to expect.

idk what these guys are on about...this is definitely 89+ pushing on anywhere 91%-94%
Everyone has different opinions, let them be... and ATAR is a RANK...

My $0.02: 70-83. [could be complately off here though]
I agree with panda15 about the overestimation, since your school doesn't obtain that many B6s the teachers may often give high marks in class and hence the high estimations for raw marks. HSC marking is quite strict and if you don't meet a certain dotpoint of the criteria, it can cost you a mark.
