96 ATAR - Ranks, Workload & Subject Choice (1 Viewer)

[alex4nder]

Hi, I'm currently in year 11, aiming for a 96 Atar

Current Subjects:
Advanced English + Ext
Advanced Maths + Ext
Physics
Biology
Ancient History

School Rank: 310 in 2012 (however that was a very strong cohort for my school), ~450 in 2011 & 2010
How much will my school's relatively low rank affect my atar?

Looking at the past 6 years of DA achievers, the average number of students with DA's in relevant subjects are:
English Advanced- 1.33
Bio- 2.6
Physics- 0.83
Ancient- 2.33
Mathematics- 1.33
Maths E1- 1.66
Maths E2-0.5

Year 12 Subjects:
Drop Ext. English
Pick Up Ext. 2 Maths
Keep 12 units in case I drop Ext. 2 Maths
What do you guys think of this?

What ranks do I need in year 12 to achieve 96? So far this year I have been working fairly easily, not busting myself over assessments, with my overall rank for semester 1 - 3rd
Can provide current year 11 ranks for subjects if needed.

Also how much of a workload is it going to be to achieve 96? e.g. 3-4 hours on school nights and 5 on Saturday and Sunday??

Thanks for any advice

Based on the number of Band 6's in your school over the past 6 years, you would have to be first or second in all your subjects in order to be competitive enough to achieve 96 ATAR.

Your school's rank does not affect your ATAR.

Seeing the low number of B6's probably around top 3 in all subs
