How bad is it? (1 Viewer)

What happens if i stay at my 400-something ranked school n i DONT come first in my subjects?
i highly doubt ill come first but im doing good scaling subjects (ext math, chem, physics)

i was considering moving to a top 120 school but my parents rnt rlly supportive (it takes an hour to get there) also ill be moving in yr 11 so its harder to make friends

anyways im calling it from now there is a 2% chance ill come first in at least 1 subject n thats bc i cant balance my study effectively

my teacher was telling me if ik im not gonna come first i should move - she graduated from my school in 2020 n came first in 3/5 in her subjects (she did ext 2 math so that was an ATAR boost)

you could be cooked aint gonna lie

you could be cooked aint gonna lie

Ok how abt i dont come first in a top 120 ranked school but i only do ext math n chem as high scalers?
when i did my subjects for my interview everything was booked out so i chose: adv eng, adv math, ext math, chem, geo n business

OK so if you stay at the 400 ranked school it could also depend on your year. If you have a strong year you could probably get away with ranking top 3-5ish maybe? For the 120 ranked school I reckon the high scaling subjects would help but you would probably still want to rank top 5-7 for most subjects to do well.

It depends. I think u can probably do better if u go to a top 120 school even if not all ur subjects are high scaling cause u still have a few high scaling subjects. But maybe u can find out the highest atar and how many 90+ atars there are in ur 400 ranked school and if it is low then move because if u think u can’t get the highest atar which isn’t that high then u can probably move.

I go to a top 150ish school and we have around 20-25 people each year who gets a 90+ atar. So if think u can be in the top 30ish in ur top 120 school then u should be fine

I think the highest atar for the 24 cohort was a 96 also i think max 13 ppl get a 90+ atar (in 23 it was 97+)

that’s for the 400 ranked school right?

bro why u making so much posts abt ts rlx

those kind of results dont really seem consistent with a school ranked in the 400s? mine is in the 300s and we have less in the 90s

like the others said its rlly dependent on the strength of your cohort and your ability.

Sure you can be first but does that mean youre going to be getting high band 6s? You said you dont think you can balance your study effectively, what would change in being in a higher ranked school? Your HSC isnt til 2026, how can you determine you wont be able to balance your subjects without starting them?

Or if youre not first, is that an equal rank to your ability, are the other students likely to succeed in the HSC as well - in that case I wouldnt worry too much about being ranked in the top 3-5 if the two ahead of you are going to get band 6s and theres a max of 13 90+ atars every year.

Scaling isn’t of much use if you’re aiming for something in the 80s or 90s…it makes more of a difference in the 50s to 70s
You seem to have selected subjects that do scale better than the rest but that’s not of much use if you can’t cope with the workload for successive assessments and exams.

i have similar Question : If my school has like less than 5 band 6's each year and is like ranked in the 600s or thereabouts am i cooked?

Kinda, but if u rank first in everything and u do exceptionally well in all your subjects (better than anyone has ever done in the school) then u can still do well

thanks for the info

My school is partially selective the ppl that do get 90+ r those who r from the selective stream + go tutoring (matrix, project, sigma etc) but in each yr we only have at most 30 kids for selective so out of 160-180 only 30 ppl r doing above the average (thats if all of them r actually doing their jobs ik some selective kids that dont study n just dont care - they were selective in yr 7 when they were ‘nerds’ n they got stuck)

i said max 13 but i think in 24 we got 6 90+ im not sure the school doesnt tell us so they dont make the good selective kids move but ik the band 6s for 24:
14 for math (first time in forever - they were celebrating):
3/4 ext 2, 2/7 ext 1, 7/20 adv, 2/24 for std

3 for eng - only std tho

1 for sciences which was chem (0 for bio, 0 for investigating, 0 for physics, 0 sci ext)

3 business (rest of social science: 0 for both histories, 0 for eco, 0 for legal, i dont remember if we have more subjects but u get it)

im not sure for technology subjects (textiles, food tech, ipt) also idk for vet (hospitality, business services n the rest)

also idk for pe subjects (pdhpe, dance, cafs)

Thats the thing idk how strong our cohort is by the looks of it my class (selective) is rlly good but compared to previous yrs they r doing so poorly when compared to junior yrs
let me explain bc its not clear what i mean
for example: in my class more than half the class failed to get 85%+ for math thus they were all not allowed to do adv/ext however previous yrs (selective classes) all the class roughly got 85%+
mind u the assessments were about the same some questions were harder but some were the exact same

the rest of the cohort idk

Bc i care im srry i dont go to a selective top 20 school like u

That actually sounds rlly good tho

EDIT : to clarify, by this I mean the school you go to sounds like a good academic school sorry if I said something that upseted you that wasn't my intention
