HSC
2012
English Standard - 12/160 - 75-80%
General Mathematics - 20/140 - 75-80%
Food Technology - 2/38 - 90-95%
PDHPE - 1/40 - 85-90%
Biology - 20/70 - 75%-80%
Studies of Religion 2 Unit - 23/35 - Below 70% (I plan on dropping this since I have 10+ units)

My school isn't rated for some reason (They were 202 in 2010 HSC)...I also do a language school (Not that great in it, but apperently there's bonus marks?)

I've yet to do my trials. Would appreciate an estimate :)

High 70's ? Hard to gauge how tough your exams are etc
They are relatively fair - not too harsh/challenging, but then again, they aren't made for everyone to achieve 90%+ continuously.

I'd say Ivella10 is right, around high 70s to low 80s with a lot of potential for more. You've still got trials, plenty of room for improvement! If i were you i'd aim to not only go up a few ranks in each subject but focus on maintaining first in PDHPE and trying to get first in food tech. Being ranked first is good because essentially your internal mark is the highest HSC mark anyone in that subject in your cohort gets which has a lot of benefits, whereas every other rank (except last which is the reverse of that) get an internal mark which is manipulated according to averages.

Well I've got my cumulative/school rankings back, and I've improved, although I lost my Rank 1 in PDHPE :/ I also dropped 2 Unit SOR.

English Standard - 11/180
General Mathematics - 10/140
Food Technology - 2/38
PDHPE - 2/40
Biology - 26/70 (I was actually 33rd for half yearlies, not 20 from the first post)

Would an ATAR of 80-85 be a more likely possibility now?

I'd say early 80s looking at those ranks.

Yeah 80+ try really hard in externals for near nineties I'd say.
