Atar Help? i think im doing really bad... (1 Viewer)

[hazza1424]

hey, im currently doing my hsc and i feel like im doing really bad. My school rank is about 300, and my ranks are:
English standard- 40/85
Mathematics- 5/8
Business studies-7/24
Legal studies- 7/12
Physics-6/10

Our cohort is really small which makes it even harder to get good ranks. We still have our trials to go which are anywhere between 25-40% depending on the subject. Thanks in advance, any estimates and advice will be helpful!

 

[umm what]

75ish

really? i would have thought about 60ish, since our cohort is small? and our school rank is bad.

Probably between 62-67.

Probably between 62-67.

really? i want at least 65, but i mean ive been told by other people its a high 60's or low 70's, im really confused! :/

Man like c'mon don't worry if you need that ATAR. Trust me - getting in the 60's is a guarantee.

But just what kind of year group do you have?
85 people in standard and only 8 people in maths?

Do all of them do general or something?

This is an estimate, guesswork. We could be 1 ATAR point off or 20 ATAR points off. Plus, it also depends on how you go in the HSC exam.

This. As I have said many times on BOS, an estimate is just that - an estimate.

yea! theres 92 kids all up in our grade, 65 in general, 8 in adv maths and 19 that do no maths at all!

 

[hazza1424]

bump!

Probably 50-60 at this rate. Why I'm saying this is due to your subject combination and also the ranks, but acing the trials and HSC exam could exponentially change this.
