    What can I expect to achieve for ATAR? I'm getting a few conflicting answers.

    Hi guys, Ive been looking at entering UNSW Engineering and have been given an offer for the Portfolio Scheme (that reduces entry requirement to an 83 from a 90 ATAR), but lately I have been aiming for an ATAR >95 (maybe 97??? but I am not sure if that is feasible for me currently), just for fun...

    Does a cohort of <8 mean you get your own mark?

    is it true that if you have a class of less than 8 people, ranks dont affect your marks and you get your own marks in the hsc, not anyone elses? I know I've asked this before, but i asked my teacher, who is like the most trustworthy teacher at my school, and she doubled down. I told her that I...

    Poor Year-Average Prelim Marks

    hey guys, so I was wondering if the prelim marks at my school are an indicator of how well my cohort is gonna do in the HSC, since year prelim averages were pretty bad (50% for all sciences, engineering, and MX1). I go to a decent school in NSW (top 50) if that matters is this because the tests...

    How ranks affect ATAR

    Hi guys, my friends and I were talking at school, and we don’t really understand how ranks affect ATAR. From the gist of the discussion, we know that ranks are “moderated” (still don’t really understand how), and the top mark in the exam is given to the top student. So, in order to really...

    Is it possible to get a band 6!!!! HELP PLEASE !!!!

    Hi everyone, I've heard that the gaps between the internal ranks of students at school matter and that the internal gaps are maintained after the school marks are moderated. Is this true? If so, if a person, say, places first and attains 91% (e.g. in physics), and another places around 6th and...
