also btw I'm not even struggling my predicted atar is an 86 cunt I just want an 80 atar 75 so it can get adjusted to 80 wtf why r u guys being cunts on a hsc forum I'm actually shocked
fr. they just wanna feel good about themselves by hating on roughly the median atar... nothing wrong with wanting a 75 atar if that's what you need for your course
people like that pmo because they don't realise that the atar isn't a measure of intelligence, and shouldn't be thought of as a measure of intelligence.
but to answer your question you might want to use atar calculators as a rough guide, but depending on if your school sets easy tests or not it's kind of hard to tell if it's a good estimation. keep in mind, a 70 atar is about the average atar, so you'll need to be above average. english standard doesn't scale well, and english advanced has almost as many students but scales significantly better, so you'll probably want to be more than just above average in that subject. as well as hospitality. But, at the end of the day, it's very hard to know what grades you need to get, because at this stage it all depends on how hard your school tests are, and what your cohort at school is like.
However, since you say that your predicted atar is 86, you should probably just keep doing what you're doing. It's better to accidentally get an 86 atar than to just miss out on the course that you want to do...
For bonus points, definitely look at the UAC website about that.
Anyway, I'm sure you know all of this already, but I'm just procrastinating doing my Drama major work trial rn lol.

where m is the number of marks and n is the number of texts, and q is the number of quotes/techniques per text. but as i recall this is only explicitly stated in the year 11 short answer criteria, its not in year 12 criteria so the formula is only a guideline the year 12 criteria only assesses you on cohesion and depth
