    ATAR estimate please

    Yeah >99. How high depends on whether you get mid or low b6 in your other subjects (not maths). Keep up the good work! Note 99 is a bit conservative. Btw what r you planing on doing @ uni after? Cause if you're the dux of your school both unsw and usyd have concession schemes

    what to do if you do terrible in year 12

    Don't feel obliged to go to uni. There are plenty of different careers where you can get more satisfaction/make more money etc. Don't feel you have to do it for any reason.

    Other Pathways to Actuarial Studies

    True. To become an associate you need part 1 and 2 and the professionalism course. Part 3 is hard because you have to do it whilst working full time as an actuary to meet the prac requirements. It typically takes 2 years if you pass first time.
