Is it possible to get ATAR 95< with these current marks?

Chloe14850

Hello, I'm a current Year 12 student attending an independent School (ranked relatively high?). I am about to sit my Trial exams this coming week, and was wondering if my current marks will allow me to reach my goal of ATAR 95, or by how much I should be increasing them in order to reach that goal (if it's an achievable goal).

English Adv - 84
English Ext - 44/50
Maths Adv - 86
Modern History - 91
Ancient History - 92
History Ext - 48/50
German Continuers - 82

It will be great to hear your opinions. Thank you for giving up your time to answer my queries!

Using the UAC ATAR estimator with these marks gives an ATAR of 93.70. But its really unclear if the marks you put in are supposed to be raw marks (as in the percentage of marks you actually get in the exam) or scaled marks. Also this obviously changes from year to year, so its hard to be exact. Based on these marks it will be German that won't count, but its probably wise not to rely on this in case you have a really bad day in one of your other exams. Try messing around with the ATAR calculator and see what it gives you e.g if you bump the english adv mark up to 88 it estimates an ATAR of 95.00.

student12345 Also remember that the difficulty of trial papers can differ from that of the HSC, depending on your school/ teachers. So there's lots of factors at play that make it very hard to judge. But all you can really do is learn from trials/ whatever you have already done and do try the best you can with consistent study etc. and see where you end up. Good luck
