seeing your school ranking, pretty difficult. You will need to totally destroy the hsc.

82 maX right now.

I highly doubt 82 MAX. he is ranked near the top for most his subjects and I doubt everyone in his school is intellectually challenged.
You should be able to get 88+ with ease! if you keep up your work. what were your trial marks though?

This, my guess would be that at the moment, you are probably looking at 92-95.

5/18 for ESL means that there's lots of international students right? And stereotypically most of them are good and maths/sciences. And considering you're coming at the top for them means you should be able to get your desired ATAR score :)

@OP

You do realize you get bonus points for getting bands 5/6's in certain subjects right? That will help you get in your course.
