Is an ATAR of 82 applicable from this information? (2 Viewers)

Ok, so currently I'm starting to get really nervous about my ATAR, as it is going to be released in the next couple of days.

I was just wondering if an ATAR of 82 seems reachable from the subjects that I study during the HSC, my ranks, and my guess of what raw mark I think I got from the HSC exam /100.

And yes...I know I should be patient, but...I would like to know if I can expect an ATAR of 82 to be reachable while I wait for the ATAR to be released.

Subjects:
1) Standard English (111/143) ~ 45%
2) General Mathematics (10/70) ~ 80%
3) Information Processes & Technology (1/23) ~ 85%
4) Software Design & Development (4/22) ~ 90%
5) Industrial Technology: Multimedia Industries (1/17) ~ 97%

* This might be a stupid question, as I completely don't understand how the ATAR is calculated, so please be nice :S

What is your school rank?

What is your school rank?

180th from Homebush Boys High School. It's dropped quite a lot throughout the years :/

To be honest, with those ranks I'd say you're looking at maybe 77 - 80. I think 82 is possible, but it depends on how well you do in english because that has the potential to drag you down a lot.

Oh no . I've tried my hardest throughout these two years, but English was the most difficult. I don't think I will get a good mark for that subject particularly...so all I can do now is just pray.

Thank you enoilgam for giving me a good estimate.

 

[enoilgam]

Oh no

ATAR estimates are pretty unreliable, especially towards the middle and lower end of the spectrum - so I wouldnt be too concerned by my estimate.

It's extremely hard to tell but since 90% of your subjects are low scaling you are probably looking at something between high 60s and mid 70s.
English standard is low scaling and you did poorly in it and having a bad cohort would scale you down considerably (including your overall ATAR)

I would say High 70's to Low 80's.

The only problem is that your English mark may be really low. If your English was on par then I would say you would definitely get above 80.
