This guy at my school a few years ago did great. He did fairly low and overlooked subjects like General Maths, Standard english, etcetcetc.. anyway, he ended up with an ATAR of 96 and an all-rounders award.

he came first in mx1 and mx2 though and was pretty much top 2-3 in chemisty and physics as well

Yeh I got ATAR of 94.30 in 2009 with Standard English, General Maths and PDHPE (quite possibly the worst combination of subjects, I know).

Here are my marks:

English 86
GenMaths 96
Legal 90
Business Studies 91
PDHPE 88

Esl is better than standard. just do esl

How about your half-yearly?


I'm anxious to know 'cos I need some motivation in this subject.

your motivation should be how many people don't get 95+'s (or what ever your aiming for)

Some people find motivation in seeing that their goal is entirely possible

not good. I got in the 70s. English is my weakest subject, hence standard
However, rank wise I'm either 1st or 2nd so I guess that explains why my estimate was 99.
as for motivation, try your best. As long as you do well in your other subjects and put a solid effort into English, it shouldn't affect your ATAR much. A High Band 4 or Band 5 should be good enough to get you into the 90s range.

You're far better off to ace standard, than fail at advanced.
I'm doing advanced, because my school doesn't do standard, and I'm coming around 120ish out of 145, and it's screwing my ATAR estimates up.

 

[b0redAsian]

i wish english wasnt a compulsory subject

 

[arjun9194]

hey guys thanks for sharing but umm, im being told that if i do standard english
ill be stuck with idiots in my class and a shit teacher.
what do you guys say?

 

[ninetypercent]

^don't do it.

if you have a shit teacher and a poor classroom environment, you will lose motivation! and plus standard english aligns terribly - you shouldn't do it anyway.

 

[Divided_By_Zero]

I'll be letting you know when i get my ATAR back

Standard is for cool kids.
