So i got my report back..

School Rank: 291
English Standard- 60/151 65% (Highest Mark 85%)
General Maths- 30/102 70%
Business Studies- 27/95 65%
Physics- 10/21 63% (Top 4 were 90's then dropped in 70's and 60's)
Senior Science- 4/66 80%
(Over 200 kids cohort)

This doesnt really reflect my abilities as i started studying abit late for trials and such but i started studying 10 hour days since then and have been continuing that.
So ive been working my ass off. Ive been working so hard just to get into my course at UNSW which is Construction Management and Property (80atar).
So ive been wondering if i can get my 80 atar if i really put my head down and study and ace my externals
(i got a estimate of adrita but just wanted other opinions)
Thanks

Your sitting on high 60's at the moment. You're gonna have to rape your english exam if you want 80+.

What do you classify as rape? Band 5? Cause I'm pretty sure a band 6 in standard is really really difficult

its pretty impossible to get a band 6 in std eng, only 0.41% of ppl doing std got a b6 last year, so and band 5 is pretty much what you should be looking at

Fuck, that means I might not get my 80. I go to a disadvantaged school which allows me extra points ( I think its up to 10) does that mean a mid 70s atar might get me into a UNSW 80 course?
not sure if UNSW will do it, maybe UWS or UTS

It's even gonna be difficult to get a band 5 in english with your rank. I went to a school ranked around the same as yours, and we only get 2-3 band 5's a year in standard.

But if you do really well in the HSC for it, it will minimise the damage done to your ATAR.
