School rank: 102

I know I screwed up really bad, most likely failed 4 subjects for the HSC as well. Would 60ish be impossible? :/
Matrix says I'm getting 44... wooo
Please give me an honest estimate!

Thank you, kind souls.

Putting raw marks into an atar calculator is a bad idea. I'd say 65-70ish.

Yeah, I was also thinking ~65 but it depends on how poorly you perform later on because, being last, you can be average (~75) or you can be horrible (20) - especially at a decent school.

I don't think you'll get 20 - your school rank is pretty good but I can't be sure.

Yes, but scaling and aligning are thrown out the window if you don't do well.

Dw, you wont get "20". First of all you would just get a mystery mark if it were under 30, but i highly doubt that would happen lol. It's pretty much impossible at a decently ranked school unless you are ranked last in everything and you have a few subjects you are ranked well in. You are only last in two subjects so while that is still undesirable i think it's been a bit exagerated in previous posts since it's not all of your subjects.

Ahhhh.. i see.
Say my marks turn out to be:
English 50ish, 2u 30ish, 3u 30ish, bio 90ish, chem 50ish, phy 40ish... what would i possibly be looking at? :/
Thank you.

Too hard to tell tbh, marking standards differ so much between schools and to HSC markers. No offence, but at your ranked school and your rank in bio it's pretty unlikely you'd get a raw mark of 90/100 for example. Theres also aligning on top of everything, i'm assuming the numbers you posted are raw marks and you haven't taken that into account. Anyway theres too many factors, people have made estimates and you may as well just wait it out for results now.

Yeah, my example was just an example to show that when you're at the bottom, you could still be decent but you can also be quite bad. We can't tell.

your ranks are kinda horrible
especially physics, if someone did worse than you in the exam you'll automatically get their mark, oh and for 3u.
you'll get alligned to a... puny mark in standard english. the disastrous scaling will undoubtedly enable you to recieve a mystery mark :O
chem was alright, probs get alligned to the 60's
bio's pretty good, guessing it'll allign to the mid 70's
you should expect an atar of about 50. 60 is possible... if your cohort did well.
