Trial results and ATAR (1 Viewer)

[PoisonDart]

Throughout the year I had some great ranks but I just messed up the trials and I'm predicting my ranks will definitely drop.

My ATAR aim is high 70's into 80's, I still remain confident in my ability in regards to the HSC external assessments.

So, anyone out there who had average rankings but came out with an ATAR/UAI that they were happy with?

Yup, in the same boat as you. Even though I don't have my trial results back yet, I suspect my results won't be that great :/. I have known many people who got average rankings and still got into a course that they wanted. They do take people below the ATAR cut off in many cases and there are always bonus points. Looking at your aim, even if you totally stuffed up the trials, if you do well in the externals, I think it is very achievable

She may mean by stuffing up, getting a poor result in the trials which does not reflect your other results and ranks up until that point. I'm in this situation, I'll be lucky if my current ranks (top 3-10) even remain in the top 10 at all.
