School was ranked 180th last year, here are my rankings and CSSA trial results
Physics: 3/4, 76%
Modern History: 1/14, 93%
English Standard: 8/57, 67%
Mathematics: 4/8, 78%
Engineering Studies: 1/6, 80%
1/4 chem
1/12 maths adv
3/3 maths ext (2 others do MX2)
4/4 physics (strong cohort, got 70% in CSSA trial and that was still last, but I consider it a good mark)
3/8 SOR II
7/14 english adv (good class, most of the class was moved down to standard by teachers to help average lawl)
School Rank...
as I said; it's a really strong physics class... our school (even though only small country private school) as a policy with the better subjects of: your either band 6/ high band 5 potential or get the fuck out hahahaha
If your just as good at both go 4 unit maths but I would find this hard to believe as it's rare to find people who are amazing at both english and maths. But if you are at both go 4 unit, if your better at english go 3 unit
raw marks for CSSA trial's were
Modern: 93%
Engineering: 80%
Physics: 76%
Maths: 66% (it was a hard paper I guess)
English: not good but was about 5th in the year however my marks early in the year weren't good so I've been dragging myself up since half yearlies
Here are my final ranks.
Modern History: 1/15
Engineering studies: 1/6
Standard English: 8/60
Mathematics: 3/8
Physics: 3/4 (note a very strong cohort, average of about 80 in CSSA trial, plus I'm more or less equal with 2nd)
School rank is about 170
Ok, so I am wondering what you guys think my ATAR is going to be.... Here are my Rankings after the trials.
Physics : 3/4 (VERY strong cohort though, like top CSSA trial mark was 90%)
Engineering: 1/7
Modern History: 1/20
Maths: 4/10
English Standard: 10/70
School was placed 180th last year...
Of course you should be, the cohort average in the externals is matched with the cohort average in the internals (basically). Therefore ideally your better off going as well as you can in the externals with everyone in your cohort beating you, then they're going to 'drag' up your internal marks...
Physics: 76% (3/4) I'm kinda happy with it but not thrilled
Modern History: 93% (1/20) :D
Mathematics: 66% (3/9) FML!!!! :/
Engineering: 80% (1/7) Wanna be getting about 90%+ in past papers by HSC
Standard English: 65% in Paper 1, 48% in Paper 2 (about top 10/60) :/ English is beyond me lol...
