Is there still hope? (1 Viewer)

Hey! Can someone please humble me and be honest, whether achieving an atar 90-95+ is possible with my rank and mark. To preface, I go to a non-selective public school which just made top 150 in the state (NSW) last year.

Semester 1: subject - mark% - rank
English Standard - 90% - 6/103
Maths Advance - 60% - 74/91 .. womp womp
Math Extension 1 - 48% - 56/66
Biology - 70% - 22/72
Chemistry - 78% - 15/32
Food Technology - 99% - 1/6

Semester 1 is weighting 45% of internals. I put my marks into the atar calculator, lowering my expecting mark for food tech and the result do not look promising :/
Assume I do exceptionally well for task 3 and trials, how likely am I able to guarantee a 90+? What marks should I be aiming for in task 3 and trials?
Any advice helps or atar estimations, thanks

Hey there,
I think honestly with the marks and ranks you have now, it is still possible to get an atar above 90. However, it will take a lot of hard work and perseverance! I graduated last year with an atar above 95 and did food technology and biology. It is currently holidays, so if you are serious about getting above 90 (which you can!), take some time to go back and solidify your knowledge and make a plan for semester 2. I currently tutor both privately and at AOS, for English and Biology. However, if you want I have Band 6 Food Technology notes I can give you which I used during my HSC! Good luck
