PDHPE - 13/31
SOR1 - 35/82
French continuers - 22/51

Thats roughly what you need to get 80. Just keep in mind that these reverse estimates tend to be more inaccurate then the ranks to ATAR estimates.

If you enjoy your subjects then you shouldnt regret not doing higher scaling ones. You have a better chance of achieving your goals if you enjoy your subjects as opposed to hating them.

I'd say 81-85, the higher your French rank, the closer to 85 you will be. What is your aim?

But my aim is 80.5... basically anything over 81 , id be happy with :)

Well, I'd say your well on track at the moment. Just make sure your in the top 35 for French. Raw internal marks are moderated significantly, dont pay to much attention to them.

Just try not to become too complacent and keep in mind that with the trials and HSC, you will need to lift your game significantly just to maintain your rankings. Good luck with reaching 80.5 though.

Hi i was just wonderin if you could calculate something for me too hahahaha.
I do 4u math - rank 50 or 60 out of 84
3 math - 60/120
Chem - 45/90
Phys - 50/80

Top 10 ranked school in nsw
Advanced english 120/180
Atar estimates based on what i think i will get

4u band 6
3u band 6
Chem band 5 or 6
Phys band 5 or 6
English band 5

If anyone could estimate that as a MINIMUM it would be much appreciated :)

I'd say at the bare minimum 97, but I think your ATAR will be 97.5+. I think you will probably get band 6's in all your subjects except physics and english, (I reakon you will get 87-89 in them). I partially based my estimate on the fact that at schools ranked 10 in the state, the top 45%-50% get a band 6. However, usually in 4u and 3u, the vast majority of students get band 6's.

By the way, your school marks will change significantly as they are moderate before they are finalised.
