We can't do anything without your school rank, and it'd be better if you started your own thread XD

Only last year was 124 - an epically stupid year.

Every other year we've floated around 70s-90s :)


It doesn't actually matter how many people are in my grade, just my rank, how many people are above me and my gap marks to them and how i perform in my externals.

Mhmmm if i get 99+ i might just eat all the cones before i hand them over to the winner :rofl:
On the contrary, it is actually really important. If you had 1000 people in your grade but you had those ranks, you could still get 99+ with a school rank of 600. School rank is determined by the percentage of band 6s (not the amount), so, yeah, it's undeniably relevant. but in this case it's only relevant as to looking at whether you get 99+ or 99.5+

True, but seeing as i'm in the top few one would assume that i'd get all band 6s for my subjects anyway lol.

Oh and just wondering, how many schools would actually have ~1000 people in a grade?

I'm guessing 99.15!

There should be a prize for whoever gets the closest =]

I had identical ranks, bar modern history which I didn't do in a mid 200 ranked school and got mid 97 atar (using the uai equivalent pdf), so you should expect high 98 to low 99.

I really want that cone.

Awesome, thanks for the info! I'll just work my arse off right now to see how high my ATAR can be ^^
