Is there hope?! (1 Viewer)

[tlv6554]

I've been doing multiple past papers for all my subjects and then using this database to convert my raw marks to hsc marks.
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B29Lm2UM3hSaMnVSWTNqOWJqUmc/edit?pli=1
I then put this mark in an atar calculator but it says that i could get 99.55!!!! Is this even possible like it doesn't seem very reliable if I am getting 70% in ext 1 maths and then that aligns to a 90%. Is this really how it works?

Ext 1 maths does scale high but you have to consider your school ranking as well

Yup gotta take into consideration your rank as this exam mark is averaged out with your assessment mark (which is dependent on the cohort/rank) and the actual exam pressure

But yes it's possible!
