I'd hazard an estimate of 92-93. Needs to pick up on biology and especially chemistry as well as 2u maths which is quite possible given the amount of school assessments left. Reaching a higher end B5 or B6 in the aforementioned subjects will defs give 95+.

91-93. IMO the best way he can increase his ATAR is by improving Biology and 2u Maths.

I reckon 91-93 sounds fair. I think he would need to improve in 2 unit, chem and to a lesser extent biology for 95+.

Same, without seeing those band 6 figures, I probably would have estimated a little higher to be honest.
Yeah the school isn't fantastic at maths, although it's mainly different this year, since usually we have lots more MX2 kids which means less MX1-only kids which means less 2U B6's.

But umm this year we have a much smaller MX2 cohort and there's also a smaller amount of people NOT doing maths at all, so we have about 20 more 2U kids than usual, and I'm guessing that'll result in more B6's.

And as with Eco yeah department isn't the greatest and there's just a lot more of a Science and History/Legal focus at school in general.

Fair enough - case in point on why ATAR estimates can be so unreliable. The more information the better.
