hi everyone, im completing my hsc in 2 weeks from today ( good luck to any other 2025 graduates doing so also!! )anyway ive been preparing for all my subjects for a week equally, however I got my internal ranks and unfortunately they are not looking good and im worried my ATAR is ruined. The course that I really want to go next year I have got an offer for which has the condition of an atar of 85 and im honestly loosing hope that I can achieve that with my low internal rank even if I do good in my externals. For context my internal ranks r modern 5/34, pdhpe 12/79, business studies 19/69, legal 10/22, and my absolute worst is unfortunately eng adv where Im at 28/36. Im wondering if theres even a chance of acheiving an 85+ as an atar still and if so what should I aim to get in each subject in my upcoming exam? Thanks for reading, and motivation or studying tips for any of these subjects would be very appreciated.

hope you're doing well, fellow 2025-er here!

honestly it entirely depends on how good your school and cohort are. if you're from a top 10 selective, for example, that might be plenty to get you even a >90. however, if your school is beyond say the top 200, then even coming first in every course can't guarantee you anything. based on the assumption you're going to a middling school e.g. 50-150, I'd say you've still got a pretty good chance. if you want an actual prediction, then go for it!

also check out the number of band 6s your school got in the past few years in those subjects, so you know roughly what you can get. a mid band 5 is all you need for an 85 in all honesty! so aim for a band 5 in all your subjects and you should be good! (if you know some are worse than others, aim for a high band 5 in your better ones.) if english is really bad, then that's okay, I think a mid-high band 5 in all the others would compensate decently.

what course did you get the offer for, out of curiosity? (you don't have to say if you don't want to)

I do very different subjects so I can't offer much more than this, sorry...but mess around on ATAR calculators to see what you need! I think modern history aligns pretty well which happens to be one of your better performing subjects, but unfortunately your other subjects don't help your ATAR much in terms of scaling, though you should be okay!

hope this helps!

hii, thanks for your reply,

honestly I dont know my schools ranking as they havent made previous hsc years results public but id assume probably somewhere in the middle. I know im not guaranteed anything and luck does play a factor along with effort, and ive played around with different atar calculators where I think I roughly need high band 5s-low band 6s to be safe, in most of my subjects so im just relying on locking in these last 2 weeks now I guess and hope somehow its enough to get what I need. I got a offer from UNSW for a bachelor in criminology and criminal justice/ psychology ( honours ) which was my first preference so im glad I got it but meeting it currently is whats stressing me out as im very unsure if its even possible to still get atleast an 85 with my internal ranks:)
anyway all I can do now is try my best, good luck on your hsc also, and thanks for your help ( rlly the only thing motivating me that theres still a chance haha )
