English Language: 38-39 [Hoping for a 40+ :((]
Mathematical Methods: 41-42 [Somehow my best exam, I really fucked everything else up]
Specialist Mathematics: 33-35 [Fucked exam 1 and did some dumb shit on exam 2 :(((]
Chemistry: 35-37 [My worst sub and I knew I fucked the exam]
Economics: 38-39: [I already know I made a few mistakes and I genuinely studied for this a good bit but don't think I got 40+]

Shit year, all my goals are down the drain. Hopefully can still get into my course.

I hope for at least a 97.5 but honestly I should be fucking ultra happy with anything 96+ because of my carelessness in the exams and lack of motivation across the year.

2020: English Language: {?}, Mathematical Methods {?}, Specialist Mathematics {?}, Chemistry {?}, Economics {?}

English (mainstream): Hoping for 38-40 at best.
Mathematical Methods: 41-43. Was okay with exam 1, but choked a bit on E2
Specialist Mathematics: 41-43. Very happy with exam 1, but was disappointed with E2. I predicted 10 marks lost in e2, when 6 of those marks were careless mistakes.
Physics: ~45? Was very happy with final exam with decent SAC scores. Probably lost around ~7-9 marks out of the whole exam.
Biology: attained 39 raw in 2019
Chemistry: ~35 (not my thing)

Atar prediction: ~ 96+

In the name of being optimistic........
Psychology: 37 (I did this last year so it's my actual score)
English: 41
Literature: 37
Business Management: 31 (I gave up on studying in about August - I really hated this class)
Biology: 43 (My most confident by far)

After inputting these scores, the atar notes calculator tells me this will amount to 90.45! I'd be pretty happy with this, but considering how the weighting of study scores has changed this year, I guess it's not as accurate as it typically would be. However, I'm honestly not going to be surprised if it's quite a bit off, as I'm terrible at predicting my marks. I guess we'll have to wait and see!

I really have no idea but here goes:

Biology [44] - I did this last year so this is my actual score

English [37] - I was happy with the exam but am terrible at predicting how I’ve gone in an essay.

Methods [35] - I did really well in SACs but flunked exam 1. Exam 2 was better (except for multiple choice, we don’t talk about that)

Psychology  [37] - I really thought I could get a 40+ before doing the exam but now I’m not sure. Everyone I know found it difficult so we’ll see

Chemistry [42] - I did well in SACs and was overall happy with the exam. I did make a few stupid errors though (things like leaving my answer in seconds when minutes was required :( )

Japanese [35] - I feel like I did well in the exam but majority found it easy so I’m not too sure how I compare to the rest of that state

Plugging that into an ATAR calculator [96.05] - my goal has always been a 95+. Fingers crossed

Will update on the 30th. Good luck everyone!  :)

Hopefully I am not being too generous or optimistic with my scores:

English: 42            Range: 40-43
Methods: 48         Range: 45-50
Specialists: 46       Range: 44-48
Physics: 47            Range: 45-49
Chemistry: 35       Range: 33-38

These are all based on my approximate ranking in a strong-ish school, and my expected exam results after looking at suggested solutions online, so they should be kind of accurate

Taking into account my 3+4s from last year (Bio 39, R&S 38)

I'm predicting a 99.50 ATAR, but anywhere from 99.20-99.60 I am expecting, allowing for +/-2 SS for each subject.

Honestly it's gonna be a number between 1 and 50 for EI (the cohort is so unpredictable and most of the work is external, so my SAC marks, although decent, aren't much of an indicator. Obviously I prefer the 50).

For Bio I stuffed up the exam (note that this is relative to my expectations) and I really wanted 45+, now I'm scared I'll get 40 (or even lower)

Realistically
Bio - 40-45 (and hopefully not lower because I would be really sad).
EI - 40-45 (a teeny bit of hope for more.

Hey everyone!
I was just wondering how the sac scaling system works.. So if most of your class does really well in the sacs for a particular subject, then does that mean that everyone’s marks in that class will be scaled up or down??
Logically thinking about it.. I thought it would scale down because if everyone is getting lets say above 90s in the sacs, that would probably give vcaa (or whoever scales them) the impression that their school made their sacs really easy ( and they would scale everyone’s marks down to standardise everything and make it more fair)..
But a friend of mine said they scale up if everyone does well…sooo.. idk..

Hi Jinju-san,

I think the scaling of the sacs depends on how well everyone does on the exam. Eg if everyone gets in 90s on Sacs but then gets around 70s on exams, then I'm pretty sure the sac scores will scale to 70s or whatever the exam scores of your cohort are. (not exactly like this because it's different scores for each person)
I think for sacs it's mostly your ranking that matters not your scores, because they get your sac 'scores' pretty much from your cohorts exam scores.
So like if even if everyone's sac scores were really good and bunched up at 90s, the cohort has to match that in the exam to 'keep' those as the sac scores pretty much.
Hope that answers your question!

Yep, that makes a lot more sense!

Let's see how we go!
(Bio and Methods Raw 47 last year)
Spesh:44-47
Chem:45-48
Physics: 45-48
English: 48-50.    :o
Economics:46-50.

Proudest achievement: Doing Unit 1 Lang alone in sem 1 2019, Unit 2 Lit alone in sem 2 and unit 3/4 English alone in 2020 and somehow pulling out a rank 1. (It's a long story)
