Atar help, please? (1 Viewer)

[MichelleV]

Hi there
I'm new, so I'd really appreciate some help.
I need to get an ATAR of at least 84 for to get into the coarse I want.
I've been finding the calculators all over the place, so hopefully some more advice would be useful.

I do:
English Standard- My mark was ~85. Ranked 1/39
General Maths- ~70. Ranked 12/32.
Biology- ~65. Ranked 13/30
Modern History- ~80. Ranked 2/12
Ancient History - ~85. Ranked =6/18 (1st was on a mark of 88, =2nd on 87, =4th on 86 and then me equal on 85. Does this make a difference at all because our marks were so close?)
&
Extension History-1/4. ~46

I've never seen my school ranked what so ever. I'm not surprised, to be honest...

If it was, it's probably in the late 400s o_o

Thank you for your time and help, and sorry if this is the wrong area to post~!

Welcome to BoS

You're sitting on about 80 atm, so I think a big effort in the externals will push 84+ easily.

Sounds good to me
Thank you for your help

I reakon 78-83, due to your low school rank, your performance in the externals will play a much larger role in determining your ATAR.

do the BoS only take into account the school ranking from 2010 this yr in 2011?

BOS dont consider school rank.

Yeah, school rank just helps us estimate.
