Our school's rank from memory is not that great.. I know myself that our school will give decent exams.. The english and science department marks harshly. My tutor seen a few of my exam papers and said it's fair test.

It's possible but probably a bit of work. I'd aim on doing as well as you can, particularly in physics but also be really all rounded and doing well in every subject.
School rank can't limit you if you're ranked well within your subjects (I'd say top 5...)

You can get 95 ATAR with any combination of subjects. You just need higher marks in the low scaled subjects to counter the horrid scaling.

Whether you work smart, hard and are persistent enough to get 95 ATAR is another story altogether :)

Yes it is possible. You just need to work really hard and achieve exceptionally high marks in each of your subjects.

Yes it is still possible with these subjects except you will need to lift your marks and ranks. I didnt do any extensions, and did a few low scaling subjects and i got 96.30, however i got high marks and good ranks so thats the most important thing

PD/H/PE 97 rank 1
BUSINESS 93 RANK 1
FOOD TECH 96 RANK 2
GEN. MATHS 92 RANK 1
BIOLOGY 86 RANK 7
ADV. ENG 83 RANK 16ish

Biology didnt count toward my atar!

you can get +90 with any combination of subjects - as long as you do well and you rank is high. this girl i know received an atar of about 93 or 94 and managed to get into a combined law course at unsw with her bonus points (cut off is 99.15 or 99.55 - i think)
