by false hope i mean atar estimate

school rank is ~500

i'm ranked 10/30 in english and 1st in everything else

these are the raw marks i've been getting in past hsc papers

english adv: will probably get ~60-70% raw in hsc :(
maths 3u: 83-84
maths 4u: 100-110
physics: 90-95
chem: 90-95

You can't really judge you by raw marks of your "past HSC" papers since you don't exactly know the marking schemes (except for Maths).

ATAR estimate of what you "supposed have": 98.5+

To be honest, I highly doubt you will get that high raw marks in HSC. Also, "Engrish Std | Gen Maffs | Food Tech | Dance | Drama | ATAR Aim: 75+". What the fuck is that?

i'm going by the sample answers they give in those success one books (which i assume would get 100%)

I reakon 98+, but if I had to be specific I'd say low 99's. You control your own ATAR at this point, but I think english could prevent you from getting mid-high 99's (those past HSC marks in MX1, MX2, chemistry and physics will give you mid-high range band 6's in those subs, english on the other hand mid band 5). You could also be in line for 3 unit state ranking.

90-95 raw in the hsc for phys or chem would be like 1st in the state. english is the only thing stopping you from high 99s.

im going to say:
99.25-99.45

To be honest, it could be anything between 98.5-99.7 (because your school's ranking is so low).

You'll definitely get above 98, though.

What are you aiming for?

you sure?

hrmm maybe i'm being too generous?

idk i'm getting 14-15/15 in MC and most of my answers are pretty much exactly the same as the success one answers but more concise (srsly it's physically impossible to fit some of their answers into the allocated space even when typed)

I don't think he was having a go at you for having had a go at him.

Essentially all up to how you do in the externals, but I pretty much expect a 98+ from you, English will hinder you somewhat. (Potentially keeping it in the 98s opposed to the 99s)

~98.5-99
your english could be a band 4 and that would seriously screw you over. D: otherwise everything else is good.

Not at all. In my HSC, I got 97 raw for Chem, and I just missed out on a state rank. I believe that first in the state in Phys in 2009 was 97 raw.

wow, 97 not even a state rank!

Anyway OE, if you pull out those raw marks for sciences, english and maths, you'd be looking at, i would say, 98.5 -99.5. It's all about english, if you spent lots of time on it, you could perhaps ace the externals and bring your overall hsc mark a fair bit.
