Is it still possible for me to get into Actuary (min 95) with these ranks: School Rank: Top 5 English Advanced: 150/200 Maths ExtI: 130/180 Maths ExtII: 98/120 Physics: 70/125 Legal Studies: 11/30 What would be my approximate Atar? Also, what subject should I focus on improving? I know all of...

I don't know where you heard that you need to do Ext math to get into a "good" university, but I know for a fact it is dead wrong. Only if the course has a prerequisite (not even recommended subjects), then it is required to get in, but you can still get into any university doing any subjects...

If you're getting that rank/mark then I don't think you can get a band 5 at your current level, as the scaling for Legal Studies is quite ridiculous and punishes anything under 90. Also you can't rely on your cohort to pull you up so it is crucial that you're in the top 10. It is quite content...

What's your school rank?

Keep in mind that even if scaling is insane like x200%, a 30% is still only a 60%. As you said, it's hard to determine if you're good at maths, but I think 85% is a decent enough mark, assuming your school doesn't just put standard textbook questions into your exam. Also remember since you will...

If you are doing 13 units and don't plan to pick up Extension two, there's actually not a reason why you should keep it in year 12. It only accounts for one extra unit therefore worth only half of another subject, assuming it does end up in your top 10 units, but also requires the same effort as...

So I've yet to graduate high school but I hear it's a good idea to start thinking about what course to do in University. I think UNSW would probably be more suitable for me, and after some browsing of courses and cutoffs, I have narrowed it down to Engineering (most probably mechatronics since...

Thanks for the reply, but are you sure I can get above 95 with my current rankings, which are all below or equal to median? I mean, just how much can a good school carry my HSC?

Can someone give me an approximate Atar? School Rank: Top 5 English Advanced: 130/200 Maths ExtI: 120/180 Maths ExtII: 80/120 Physics: 90/125 Legal Studies: 15/30 Thanks
