These are are going to be my HSC Subjects.

Extension 2 English (3 will be in it)
Extension 1 English (3 people will be in it)
Advanced English (25-30 people will be kept)
Extension 1 Maths (Approx 4 people)
Advanced Maths (Approx 15 people)
Legal Studies (Approx 25 people)
CAFS (Approx 45 people)
Ancient History *(approx 23 people) (maybe dropping this if I find the overall workload of 13 units too much)

School Rank: Fluctuates, but this year 400ish but that was a below average cohort. Our cohort would definately rank in the 300's (which is usually the norm).

So how well do my subjects scale in general and what rankings would I need for 95+ ATAR? I am pretty aware that CAFS is a low scaler but I reckon I could almost certainly be ranked 1st in it (I have an average of 99% in my three assessment tasks for Prelim this year).

95+ with that low a ranked school?

1st in everything.


And overall, your subjects as a whole scale meh. But you shouldn't care about that. Concentrate on doing well.

At a school ranked 300-400 and given the size of your cohort, my guess is that you would need to be ranked top 3 for most subjects (1st for subjects with less then 10 people).

Sorry to intrude on your thread Focus is Key but I was wondering if anyone can tell me what ranking I'd have to get in most classes to get 90+ Atar. My school was 24th and 28th in the last two years.
