Does being an all rounder guarantee you'll get over 99 ATAR?

Thanks

With my subjects (I do eco instead of legal) and getting 90 for everything gets me around 96 ATAR

yeah 90 flat in each subject isn't enough.. but generally 80% of all rounders get 99+, because they do considerably well across all of their subjects 92/93+ in all

do you mean, if one of your subs is 90 flat you won't get 99+?
or if they all are?

coz i was definitely close to getting 99+, if my 4u was probs like an 85.

He means with any combination, a 90 flat in each subject will most likely not get you a 99+. However, "90" HSC mark isn't what's used to calculate your ATARs; it's the raw HSC mark (moderated assessment mark + raw exam mark), so it's hard to say if or if not a "90" HSC mark is enough or not.

Hey guys,
Just a question:

So, your raw HSC mark and moderated assessment mark are used to calculate your ATAR right?
However, my teacher has told me that no-one has ever achieved 90+ as a raw mark for English Advanced... The cut off was 75/105 apparently! So, does the ATAR calculator use this mark or the aligned mark, which will be around 90+?? Apparently, the highest mark was 84/105 or something.
Severely confused!!

Thank you

ATAR calculators use your final HSC mark (ie. average of moderated assessment mark + HSC exam mark) in their calculations. Of course this is not going to be 100% accurate, but it can fairly close.

Sorry, I meant when they calculate your ATAR at UAC do they use raw HSC marks or HSC marks (moderated assessment mark + aligned mark) ?

UAC uses the combination of your raw exam mark + moderated assessment mark = raw HSC mark.
