Hey guys , dunno whether here is the place to post this but i was wondering, just approximately what are the raw marks i need to get for a band 6 for my subjects:

-maths (2u), chem, bio, business, english adv

and if i work hard and achieve a band 6 or close for all of them, with just average rankings in all them for internals, i.e. 50/100 (school rank is around 60), what atar would i be looking at?

Maths - mid 90's/120 (last year, the cutoff was 94/120)
Chemistry - mid 70's/100 (Last year the cutoff was 72/100)
Business - low/mid 80's (usually 83 or 84)
English - Hard to say as the paper one is out of 40% whilst paper 2 is out of 60%. As such, BOS aligns english from a mark out of 100 (or so I have been told - correct me if I am wrong)
Biology - Not sure, although I think it is similar to business.

You should note that these are rough estimates, as raw mark cutoffs are difficult to predict since they can vary significantly from year to year. Try looking at an ATAR calculator to see what marks equal what ATAR, as they are fairly accurate with this sort of thing.
