How much affect do externals have on my ATAR (2 Viewers)

[kimmmj5]

If my internal mark is around 80-85 for a subjects, then I manage to get a state rank in the externals.. what would an estimate HSC mark be? early 90s?

Are you talking about a moderated assessment mark of 80? If so, and you get 98 say in the externals, your HSC mark will be (80+98)/2=89 -> which won't be a state rank but you'll have a state rank equivalent external. But honestly, if you're getting 80 at school, there is no way you are somehow getting a state rank -> a state ranker would be ripping the sub even without going hard out.

But yes, the externals have a big effect.

I thought the state rank only took your 'external' marks into consideration?

State Rank = Highest HSC Mark = A combination of External Mark and Internal Assessment Marks.
