High atar with low-scaling subjects? (1 Viewer)

[Kate1029]

Hi, so I’m wondering if I could even get a 90+ atar with my subjects (they’re really low scaling): advanced english, 2u mathematics, food technology, business studies, retail services and multimedia (Industrial technology)?
I enjoy these and get pretty good marks in year 10 with mostly A’s but I’m not sure if i could even get 90+ since they’re so low-scaling and I know i shouldn’t worry about scaling but I can’t help but be worried.
Thank you!

Yup. Aim for 90+ in all of them. If you work consisetently hard (regardless of how good at school or 'smart' you are), you're likely to acheive 90 ATAR. If you enjoy them, getting band 6 should be easy for you if you work hard.

If you're doing low scaling subjects, does your atar really need to be that high? By the looks of it you don't want to go into med/law/eng, so just do your subjects and see what you get.

Yes! Even though they are low scaling, if you do well in all of them you should be able to get a 90+ ATAR, there's nothing stopping you!
