Hey Snowflek! Welcome to the forums!!
To start, I don't think it is beneficial to set numerical goals on your scores this early. You have no idea what can happen in two years. Plus, don't be paranoid, seriously!! You haven't even started Year 12 yet,
don't stress! Just work as hard as you can, get your results, and then try to improve anything you need to improve. Year 11 is your practice run, just breathe and work on developing good habits!
That said, once you've hit Year 12, it is totally a good idea to get some rough numerical goals to keep you motivated (they, again, shouldn't be a source of paranoia!! The best way to do this is with an ATAR Calculator (we have an
awesome ATAR calculator you can use).
Popping your subjects in, you can see that you'd be looking at marks in the low Band 5 range to get an ATAR of around 85. Give or take a mark or two (though this calculator guesses my ATAR very accurately, only off by 0.15).
So, if you are really wanting numerical goals, low 80's would be your target!!
remember this isn't just specifically your results from school, as
this article explains.
Seriously though, it is way too early to stress. Relax, work as hard as you can, and focus on developing good habits this year!
