Hi there!

Was wonderin if anyone could help estimate my atar. I am very stressed out about my business and english ranks. I haven't done as well as i would of liked. They will defs drag my atar down. Am i in with a chance of 70 atar? Will i have to really smash HSC? Thanks in advance!

school rank: 75

english (adv): 60/63 [24 Band 6]
maths: 10/40 [2 Band 6]
maths x1: 6/9 [4 Band 6]
IPT: 3/12 [2 Band 6]
SOR1: 29/82 [25 Band 6]
business studies: 33/65 [2 Band 6]

Hi,
It's very difficult to judge based on school ranks, and your rankings alone, because rankings can fluctuate between years (ie last year might have been a terrible cohort vs. this year is a strong af cohort). Smash the HSC, and you can get well above 70.

How do you feel about your the strength of your cohort this year, in terms of pulling you up?

yeah i get it. i guess with my bad ranks my cohort has a pre large impact on my atar. i reckon i have a pretty strong cohort though. everyone's very competitive.

Here are the last 5 years of my schools ranking. not sure if it'll help with estimate.
2016 ranked 75
2015 ranked 63
2014 ranked 53
2013 ranked 83
2012 ranked 60

hi there! your internal marks are probably a better indicator of how you might go :-) however, smash the hsc, and you never know what happens! good luck!
