wow that's a really small cohort for a ranked 80 school

 

[enoilgam]

Do you have your trial marks, as its hard to tell from your ranks due to your small cohort.

 

[mattyr1]

my trial was english 70 chemistry 60 physics 62 maths 68 business 92 studies of religion 75

 

[enoilgam]

I reakon 84-88 maybe, I'm not too sure on this one.

do u kno anyway i can improve my atar or is it too late

Its never too late to improve, especially considering the final exams are worth 50%. Since you have a small cohort, your performace overall will mostly be determined by your externals. Given that your trial marks look better than your ranks, I guess 90 is possible. But you really need to work on all subject areas if you want 90+ (from personal experience "acing" the externals is much harder then it seems).

 

[mattyr1]

wat marks should i be looking at in each subject?

 

[enoilgam]

Raw or final?

 

[mattyr1]

umm i dont kno both?

 

[enoilgam]

I guess as a rough estimate, I'd say a final mark of around mid-late 80's for each subject. Try using an ATAR calculator as they can give you a more accurate idea of what you need.

if my assesment marks are crap and say i beat it by 10% in the hsc.. do they disregard the internals?

No, internals are all about rankings, the raw internal marks are pretty much meaningless.

 

[mattyr1]
