i was wondering but what band/mark do you need to get for each of the subjects to get an ATAR of 99+?

Play around with an atar calculator, and depends on your subjects.

Med-high B6/E4 is like 99.95
What would an average of band 5 be for my subjects?Med-high B6/E4 is like 99.95
I don't like using thoses because it never seems right, it says i get 90+ for 85 for each subject.
^ just because you get 85 for everything it does not mean you cant get 90+. ATAR is not an average of hsc marks, it is a rank used to compared your hsc performance with other people who i the hsc. If you are getting 85 in your subjects, you are basically performing at the top 10% in that subject. Now if that is consistantly the case, then you are in the top 10% of people doing the hsc and hence an atar of 90+
Now it doenst work exactly like that cause some people could be in the top 5 percentile for a subject but only top 40th percentile for another but what I am trying to emphasises is ATAR = your ranking compared to others based on your hsc performance
and to OP if it makes your prediction any easier I will share some of my marks and friends with you. Both of us got low 99+
Mine
Eng Adv - 88
Chem - 89 (did not count for me)
Maths 3U - 98
Maths 4U - 91
Biology - 95
Legal studies - 95
My friend
Eng Adv - 95
Economics - 89
Chemistry - 89
Physics - 89
Maths 3U - 96
Maths 4U - 93

If you want to do Law, don't do Legal Studies? What are you on about?
...
You don't need legal studies for a law degree, but doing it would help you so much because the HSC legal studies course is a good basis for it.
because it's bad scaling
Do 4u maths, chem, physics, english adv, get average band 6 marks for each, that's a mid 99
if you do legal and crap like ancient history, gen maths etc, you will need 99 in each for a similar atar
Scaling changes every year.
changes aren't big enough to make a difference year on year
legal studies has always been crap scaling
agreed.

Easier said than done. I would be inclined to do a subject that I am good at and reap the benefits from that. Opposed to doing subjects that scale -insanely- but I am shit at.
hate to say this HJKIM but i did legal studies and got into law, my marks were mentioned above.
Our school dux did legal studies and got into law with an atar of 99.90. her marks ranged between 94-98. So your 99 in everything else theory fails.
I got 95 for legal she got 97 for legal if that makes any signifiance

not really, a friend of mine got 99.75 and she didn't do one science and only did 2 unit advanced math. She did 5 units of history and 3 units of english and economics. She didn't need to get 99 in each.
