always have hope but unlikely. the whole 10 unit thing isnt favourable to ya either. but if you work your ass off, who knows. my advice would be lower your aim. its easier than going better, lol.

Chances are slim for you. But there's still a chance with that being said, so get cracking and you might just get there :)

Consider backup options, there's bound to be a few. There's always hope, but I wouldn't be banking on a 99+ from now on.

Don't need to aim for that high of an Atar coz u have to remember there's always bonus points. The most u'll get in this case is probably 5, so aim for 94. 94 would be achievable if you fix up ur english ranks big time.

sorry man.. but i rate it 'impossible' for an atar of 99

Your rankings are not flash at all. I dont think you'll get 95+ with those ranks anyway.. you're looking at low-mid 80s atm

from what I've heard, you'll have to work a lot harder just to get in vet science, and work fucking hard just to stay in the course and do alright

Yeh True, so Op is probably stuffed then, seriously OP should aim lower, coz in the end, if you get into the course and you can't keep up.U'll have to work really hard and it just not worth it. Just do something that is enjoyable.

Hey. In terms of estimating your ATAR, assuming the use of say SAM, should values that are plugged in be your average mark in each subjects? and if so, should this include assignments or just actual tests? Thank you.

No. You need HSC Marks to do it. You don't have them. Don't do it.

Ah i see. For my uni application, it requires an estimate ATAR prior to sitting the HSC. What would you do to obtain an accurate estimate?
Just add up averages for each subject... ?
Thanks
