Am I going to get a low ATAR?

CLASS AVERAGES

Drama: 72.5% - finished
English: 72.5% - one more sac
Food Tech: 59.5% - one more sac
Maths: 58.5% - 2 more to go
HHD: 49% - 2 more sacs to go

I am aiming for a 70 ATAR and my subjects scale down a lot. What will I have to do to get a 70? How are my study scores looking? Will it be a lot of work or am I doing okay?

It's really hard for us to predict what study scores you will achieve based on that information as your rank in your classes is far more important than your percentage scores.  Are you averaging in a class where most people will do well on the exam? Are you below average in a cohort that will probably perform below the state average in the exam? How well do you perform on practice exams? etc. are much more relevant questions for study score calculations.

 (I know this probably doesn't seem to make much sense initially, but VCAA doesn't really care about your raw SAC marks).  There are a range of explanations and predictive techniques here if you want more info on how the prediction process works :)



My rough guess is that you'll probably be aiming for a B+ in your exams to get a 70
