Can I get an estimate for the following results? I have included the raw marks from my independent trials (Catholic Trial papers) and my subject rankings for the course.

English Advanced 90 1/52
Economics 92 1/4
SOR 1 Unit 45 1/52
Maths Ext 1 74 1/7
Maths Ext 2 70 1/2
Physics 85 1/16

School rank is roughly 300. Last year's HSC cohort got 69 Band 6's from 31 students. The Dux usually gets an ATAR between 95-98.

Thanks :D

It all depends on externals since you're first in everything.

But if the dux usually gets around that, I'd say you could get 98+.

But theoretically, even 99.95 is possible. Too hard to tell.

How so?

What if they got band 6's for 2 subjects each?
Rank 300 school, 2 Band 6s each student. That's at least 20% DA assuming ALL of those top bands are 1 unit subjects and everyone is on 10 units. If they all did 20 units and they all got 2 E4s, that'd be lower to be like a 300 rank school.

Seem unrealistic.

Assuming each student does 6 subjects and each gets 2 Band 6s, that's 33% DA and a top 30 school.

Also, how do you know your school's rank from last year is 300? AFAIK, they weren't released beyond ~100

69 Band 6s? 31 students?

That's hard to believe unless each student did like 20 units each.
Pretty sure he means 31 students got band 6s and between them all there were 69 band 6s, not that there were 31 students in the cohort.

Anyway, i'd say 99+ and skys the limit.

Well done on your excellent marks and ranks. Keep up the good work for externals and you should be up there. What do you wanna do at uni?

I went to a school ranked around 230-ish and we had 44 people in advanced and 85 in standard. His cohort would have close to 150 students (i'm guessing), of those 150 students 31 got atleast a band 6 and there were 69 band 6s in total which perfectly justifies a ~300 rank.
