Could I get 99+ Atar (1 Viewer)

[Streetboy]

Hey all,

Could I still get 99+, I have this much assessment left for each of my subject:

English Advanced: ( Ranked 40/50) 45% left
Chemistry: ( Ranked 7/16) 30% Left Trials
Biology: ( Ranked 14/45) 65% Left
Maths 2u: ( Ranked 6/15) 60% left
Maths Ext 1: ( Ranked 5/7) 70% Left
SOR 1U: ( ranked 20/46) 35% left

School Rank: 200+
My Questions Are:

1. Is it possible to achieve 99+, if I worked extremely hard till the end of HSC.
2. How much would English impact on my Atar, if I get a band 5?
3. How should I study, to increase my ranks in each subject?
4. Has Anyone one Achieve 95+ Atar with similarly Half yearly ranks as me?
5. Could I achieve a band 6 for all my subjects?

Thanks everyone,

1. No, it's not possible.
2. Enough to stop you getting near 99 ATAR.
3. Past papers and notes.
4. No, definitely not.
5. No, definitely not.

1) Almost impossible. Unless all your classmates slack off ALOT (i.e. achieving zeroes from this point on) and you get full marks for everything left.
2) If you get a Band 5, then to have a chance of obtaining 99, you'd need upper band 6s in all your other subjects. (Checked with ATAR calculator.) But looking at your ranks.. I highly doubt you'd be able to accomplish such a feat.
3) refer to albertcamus
4) Nope.
5) refer to answer 1

Step 1.Do HSC practice papers for each subject.
Step 2.Be realistic and estimate what raw marks you will get in your exams after 4 more months of preparation.
Step 3.Compare your raw mark estimates to the raw marks database which can be found on this site.

Your end result from this process should be taken with a grain of salt, however it's the easiest way to get a decent answer to your questions.

If you want a better estimate, find out how your school performed in each Subject in previous years (number of B6 achieved). Use this information to guess if you are near enough to being in the range of students who achieved b6 in previous years.

I think you are under estimating the difficulty of achieving a 99+ ATAR. Consistency at a very high level is required from start to finish.

Only if the top 1% are doing the same thing ;3
Who knows, with some luck maybe everyone will just be really stupid this year.
