What if ur failing 1 subject? (1 Viewer)

[Rubywingz]

Hey guys,
well i just wanted to know is it possible to get a good ATAR if ur failing one subject? is it possible.
say ur failing chem (60s) but ur doing well in ur other subjects (80s) would it affect ur ATAR dramatically if u want to get an ATAR of say 85?

If it's going to count towards your top ten units, then yes.

i'm assuming those marks (60... 80) aren't scaled? depending on how well you go in your HSC exams and how well the rest of your class goes, those marks will get scaled higher.
eg. if you get a mark of 75 in a subject yet it was the top mark, it'll get scaled to 80 or 90-something. 2nd place with a mark of 60 might get 70-80s. just a guide though...
don't forget you're only marked on your top 10 units too... hence 12 units are ideal.
