Just to put some things into perspective. Assuming you do the Asian 5, these marks will get you 99:

Adv. English- 90
3U Maths- 95
4U Maths- 93
Physics- 91
Chemistry- 91

This is what you need for 99.95:

Adv. English- 94
3U Maths- 99
4U Maths- 96
Physics- 95
Chemistry- 96

To be perfectly blunt, a 99 ATAR is a walk in the park compared to a 99.95. To get .95 it implies that you are pretty much in the top fifty in the state. Think about this for a second. Sure, your school rank is irrelevant. BUT, if you are not obviously the best, and the best by far, at a low ranked school, you have no chance at a .95 as harsh as this sounds- sorry

Many don't realise that the difference between 99 and 99.95 is a lot more than the difference from, say, 97 to 98.
