depends on how good u do in other subjects.

I wonder if a subject can really drag someone's atar down majorly, if an individual does well in their other subjects.

I mean, someone told me that you needed an aggregate of approx 470 to get the top ATAR. So in an extreme example- doesn't that mean that ~if~ someone gets 99 in each of their 2u subjects for 8u, they would only need to technically get a 74 for the remaining 2u? o3o

EDIT:
by the 99 mark thing, I meant after aligning, scaling and/or other processes that BOSTES puts the marks through to make it fair.

um i'm pretty sure that's not how it works lol

the aggregate is a universal measure of how well you do compared to another person, taking into account the difficulty of subjects undertaken. For instance, getting a 90 in ME2 is not equivalent to a 90 in SAC - thus the existence of an aggregate to take into account how much that mark is worth in determining your ATAR.
