It doesn't seem possible atm. YOu need to increase those ranks significantly.

Which range would i have to be in?

 

[D94]

Top half of cohort in everything at the very least.

I'm assuming you want to do engineering.

However with those ranks 91+ doesn't seem possible.

no chance at all? what if i do very well in my coming 2 assessments?
3 assessments for some subjects

realistically that's not gonna happen. you won't go from being at the bottom to being at the top.

 

[vradet]

holy shit

just go into a different course and transfer in next year. no big deal.

what do you think is a realistic atar if i try my best from now on?

I highly doubt 91.

At the moment, you're on about 74-77 ish at the absolute most.

This pretty much, although I guess a comeback is always possible. You have to be realistic though, it will be extremely difficult. Besides, old habits die hard and if you haven't done anything up to this point, it's unlikely that you will suddenly gain the motivation you will need to pull off a turnaround. Added to the fact that you will need to beat people who have put in a consistent effort across the year and arent behind on things.

hypothetically if i do pull off a turn around, and move to the top half of my cohort for all of my subjects except english
what is the max atar i can get?

 

[vradet]

this is the worst feeling..

That's impossible to answer, there are too many variables to consider.

please don't be discouraged, 3 assessments can change your rank significantly if you do well, now is not the time to look back but rather work with the time you have, and nothing is impossible, but with that being said you have to work extremely hard and solidly focus on all your subjects.

You can still improve dramatically though-like externals are very important in the HSC.

Does the course you desire 91 for have bonus points or anything?
