Hey just wondering how much it affects your atar if you fail one subject ? for example advanced maths.

Depends how many units you are doing.

With 10 units, not far from the truth.

 

[georgiaA1996]

im doing 10 units so it will count

 

[georgiaA1996]

well that is depressing hahaha

And it also depends on how you go in your other 8 units. I mean if your remaining units are all band 6s, failing one subject won't be so much of a big deal.

You'll be right, think positive!
Maccas is always looking for young people to employ!

will it not affect it as much because its advanced ?

Depends, if you're getting close to 50% say 45%, the Raw cut off I think will still be a band 4. I am not sure though. So you'll at least get aligned to 69-70%

To an extent yes it will be less affected, I am just fucking with you about it completely fucking your atar, what are you aiming for?

If you fail a subject, you don't get an ATAR. The only way to fail a HSC subject is to receive an N-award for that subject.

That's right, you won't fail maths based solely on tomorrow's performance in the exam.

aiming for around an 80 atar and i go pretty good in all my other subjects, just struggle with maths haha

What did you get in the trial for maths?

 

[georgiaA1996]

42 % haha sounds bad but it was a rank of 21/35

 

[spanky125]

That's not awful, that will probably be aligned to about 60-65%
So you're still looking at a band 3, so it won't kill your atar as long as you do well in other subjects.
Plus if you are ranked in the top half overall it won't hurt cause you might get a good internal mark which will pull up your overall maths mark.
