What band's does it typically take to get a 93 atar? (1 Viewer)

[sanarysurmer]

Above is the ranking history of my school loll

For me right now after trials results id say that I could get:

High B6 Maths Advanced
Mid B6 IPT
Mid B5 English Advanced
Mid-High E3 English Extension 1
*Hopefully* E4 for English Extension 2 (major work subject)
Mid-High B5 for Economics
Mid B5 for Business Studies

(Mid-high I mean like probably 85-87 scaled mark)

@jimmysmith560 or anyone else that is good with this kind of stuff, thank you

If you achieve overall HSC marks in these ranges across your subjects, you will likely exceed an ATAR of 93. More specifically, performance at this standard will likely lead to an ATAR of around 95.

Generally speaking, achieving an ATAR in the low 90's would require a combination of band 5's/E3's as well as band 6's/E4's. Of course, the more band 6's/E4's you can achieve, the higher your chances of achieving and exceeding your target ATAR. If we were to allocate specific marks that would serve as an example/indication of the marks that you would need for your performance to be consistent with an ATAR of 93 (while being mindful of your own performance potential in each subject), the below may help:

• Mathematics Advanced - 93
• Information Processes and Technology - 93
• English Advanced - 84
• English Extension 1 - 40
• English Extension 2 - 43
• Economics - 84
• Business Studies - 85

As you can see, this constitutes a combination of band 5's/E3's as well as band 6's. The fact that you are taking 12 units means that 2 of your units will end up not counting towards your ATAR. Of course, the above is just an example, and each mark can be slightly different but still lead to a 93 ATAR (for example, you may end up exceeding your expectations in Business Studies, or underperform slightly in IPT).

I hope this helps!
