Can I get a 90+? (1 Viewer)

Can I get a 90+? HELP PLEASE!

Drama - 82/100
Ext English I - 45/50
Adv English - 88/100
Visual Arts - 90/100
Studies of Rel I - 44/50
Gen Maths - 77/100

I was surprised with maths as I had been getting 50-60's all year :\

I'm disappointed with drama, as I had been coming first in the class all year, and had been getting very high 80s and 90s in the assessments. Anyone know why my score is so low then?

And I know it's a bit usless, but ATAR estimations? I **need** to get an 84 for my course at uni, but I'd like to try and get a bit higher than that just for my own sake. Is that possible? Maybe an 85-87? I think anything in the 90s is out of the question, right?
My school is ranked around the 100-120 mark.

Thanks sorry if this post is a bit meaningless.
Oh, and congratulations to those who did well

Maybe you got Drama down because of a crappy external assessment. You might get 84, I think just by looking at it - you'll get it barely. But for 90? That's out of the question unfortunately, Drama, Visual Arts, SoR and especially General Maths all scale badly.

School doesn't factor in in the ATAR calculations.

Re: Can I get a 90+? HELP PLEASE!

maybe they thought your school made easy assessments compared to others.

Yep because Western Sydney doesnt have the best non-private schools in the state and even country...

I can honestly say that atleast at the school I go to (yes its is in western sydney), nobody serious about university is aiming or planning for UWS and our attitude towards it is much the same as everyone elses. Anyway its not really that bad, UWS is in the top 1000 universities in the world which is quite impressive when you find out how many universities are in USA and UK alone..

You are unfamiliar with the method they use to scale internals, right?


EDIT: Lol if you didnt realise, first sentence i was being sarcastic. Western Sydney has the best non-private schools in the state.
