WAIT, Is ranking based on your class ranking or everyone-doing-that-course ranking? Looking around from the other threads, usually 20-40 people do a certain subject (which might have led me thinking the rankings were class-based). Yes, the total number of people doing my courses are a lot because I have in total 289 people in my grade O_O

(These are just estimates!)
ENGLISH:______HSC MARK 90 - AVG MARK 90 - RANK 7/68
MATH ADV:____HSC MARK 93 - AVG MARK 95 - RANK 10/123
MATH EXT1:___HSC MARK 70 - AVG MARK 70 - RANK 25/66
LEGAL:________HSC MARK 85 - AVG MARK 80 - RANK 15/75
BUSINESS:_____HSC MARK 80 - AVG MARK 90 - RANK 20/90
ECONOMICS:___HSC MARK 96 - AVG MARK 90 - RANK 3/18
IPT:__________HSC MARK 70 - AVG MARK 80 - RANK 4/20

Does this looks like a low 80? I really hope it doesn't fall into a 70 :'(

What's your school rank?
I presume it is a fairly well ranked school for such big Maths Adv and Ext 1 cohorts.

And honestly, I think you're VERY safe for 80 as you expect 3 band sixes. If you get 3 band sixes, you'll prob be getting high 80s at least.

What do I need to get a 90+? And btw my school ranking is actually quite low. We get more bonus points than other schools :(

Guaranteed you get High 80s and not to sure you. To get in the 90s you will need a few high Band 6s just to secure a score that high with your ranks. All the Best in the coming week.

As some guy said, Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you who you are.

And in this instance, tell me your school ranks, and I'll tell you your ATAR.

But anyway atm, it stands at high 80s.

I estimated on the presumption of 200ish for School Rank. But yeah what these guys said a rank would be nice to give you a more thorough estimate.

Based off very little information high 80's low 90's should definitely be possible. At those marks, it won't be less than 80.

Will bonus points help?
Depends on the University and how they offer them for what subject but yes it helps. Did you also apply for EAS?

EDIT: You need to perform particularly well and the University will offer them in accordance to guidelines so check up on how they are credited to your original ATAR.

No I haven't, I don't really understand it. Can you explain what it is?
