You can get any ATAR with any subjects. Only thing out of your subjects is that you have to do very well in Standard English because usually that pulls you down. If you averaged around 80% then maybe if your school lets you (though I doubt anyone is allowed) you should move up to advanced? It's really not much more difficult, just a bit more work.

Anyway I think you could achieve your goal, you just have to try your best, get good ranks and good marks.

aim for high 80s in yr 12 and focus on english coz its gonna scale you down a bit if you dont perform good.

forget scaling and just try your best, get the top rank and any atar is possible.

Really depends on how you learn, the subjects etc. but in general, I'd say for each subject maybe half an hour a day, or at least for the subjects you had that day. I think 3 - 4 hours is ideal. But again, some people rarely study and still do well.

In my opinion, you should firstly do any homework you have, then revise everything you did that day. That doesn't mean just writing notes; that means summarising, learning any definitions or concepts you don't understand, doing any activities that will help you further understand etc..
