    How To Estimate ATAR With 2 Major Works?

    No, whichever components make up the Examination Mark (in this case, the Major Work and the HSC exam) are first added (resulting in a mark out of 100), after which processes such as alignment and scaling are performed.

    what ranks do i need for 99.5?

    Essentially, for a near-maximum ATAR, it would be reasonable to suggest that you should aim to place as high as possible within your cohort across your subjects. This is generally true regardless of the school that you attend. An example of this would be placing first across your subjects, or...

    How To Estimate ATAR With 2 Major Works?

    It works in the same way as any subject with a standard HSC exam. You simply need to determine an overall HSC mark that you believe you may receive for a subject that you are taking which involves completing a Major Work based on the structure of the subject, after which you can plug the mark...

    Hi Axelot, while unfavourable performance in your trial exams will negatively impact your overall internal position, the weighting of your HSC exams makes them a great opportunity for you to improve your overall position across your subjects (essentially making a comeback). The higher your HSC...

    Early entry questions

    Did you complete the subject's year 11 course? In other words, have you been given a final grade for the subject on Students Online? Or does the subject not appear? If the subject does not appear, then your chances of receiving an early offer based on your year 11 results will not be affected in...

    ATAR estimation of someone from a low ranking school?

    Given this information, your current position seems consistent with an ATAR no lower than 75 and up to 83. This essentially indicates that you have a good chance of achieving your ATAR goal. Your best-performing subjects are Physics, Mathematics Standard and Investigating Science, meaning that...

    if somebody got a low atar for the course i want and if i get that low atar can i get into the course?

    It would be good to provide more information, such as the ATAR range that you consider low, the degree(s) that you are interested in and the university offering this degree(s). This is because there may be other relevant factors that can impact your chances of receiving an offer. These include...

    Why not do both (assuming you do well enough in maths)? If it's virtually guaranteed that you will do well in Arabic, it's hard to justify dropping a subject that you're doing well in, especially since you will likely not spend much time studying for it. If you want to maximise your ATAR, you...

    I would even recommend considering Arabic Extension when you get to year 12, because if you do well in both you can significantly boost your ATAR.

    Hello! If you were doing well in Arabic back home, you should have no problem with Arabic Continuers. I think an 80 would not make a great contribution to your ATAR, so your goal should be to achieve at least a band 6 (90+) if you want it to make a good contribution to your ATAR. I believe this...

    Discrepancy between scaling of Arabic and other languages

    This is essentially the answer. Since a significant number of Arabic Continuers and Arabic Extension attend low socio-economic schools, it can be inferred that they will likely not be as academically capable across their subjects as students who attend better schools, leading to the lower...

    The end

    Studying for trial exams is more demanding than an assessment task/exam that only covers part of the content. You need to study for all of your subjects, which includes all topics/modules and their content because trial exams assess all of a subject's year 12 course in the same way as HSC exams...
