Title: ATAR & Study Score Predictions 2012 - Compare to actual on 17th!
Post by: werdna on November 17, 2012, 03:54:50 pm
Hey everyone,

Following on from last year (See this thread) you can post your ATAR and study score predictions here, and then compare to the actual on the 17th December.

You can state SAC scores, ranking and predicted exam scores if you want to. Be realistic with your predictions - from my own experiences, you will get quite close to your predictions or beat them and surprise yourself.

Good luck everyone!!! Only 1 month to go!!! :)

Great idea! :)

inb4 people accusing others of arrogance, I'll set a few guidelines:
- Do not post things like that are inconsiderate to others with lower scores:
Quote
Physics: Was hoping for 48+, but will probs only get 45 raw now :( :( :'( #sadlyf #failingvce #homelessforlyf #physicsisaweomse
- Do not accuse others of being douchey or have a go at someone. Instead, report the post to a mod or PM a mod.
- Encouragement is a nice and great thing, and helps to relieve stress. Food for thought ;)

Good luck :)

2011: Literature, ranked #1 Unit 4, 70/80 on the exam, raw 39.

Predicted ATAR: 98-99 (High 99s if I get incredibly lucky and ace Politics and Media, fingers crossed!).

That was surprisingly cathartic :P This is me being optimistic, a bit disappointing given I was aiming to get as close as I could to 99.90 at the start of the year. Anything above 99 is a bonus!

I'll do a maximum and minimum prediction, a week after finishing exams.

Min:
English - 46
Chemistry - 43
Methods - 38 (could be lower, I guess)
Media - 40
Politics - 40 (again, could be worse)
Literature - 39

ATAR: 98.00 (in 2011)

Fair to say I'd be really disappointed with this. Anything below 98 would be, on a personal level, not very nice, to put it mildly.

Max:
English: 50
Chemistry: 45
Methods: 42
Media: 48-50
Politics: 44
Literature: 39

ATAR: 99.60 (in 2011)

Again, I'd be disappointed with this just personally (I know this sounds really arrogant but it's just based off my own expectations right before exams and I do have quite high standards for myself, so I apologise if it annoys anyone), but as with anything above 99.00-99.10ish I'd be quite relieved as well. That being said, getting a 50 in anything would be absolutely amazing, it would just make my life! Just hoping for the best at this stage though (: Does anyone else sort of have that feeling that the number means very little at this stage? I feel like I've already received my result in a way, based upon how I felt coming out of the exams.

Maybe it's just because my course only required a 90.9 last year but the individual study scores are way more precious to me than the ATAR itself. I dunno.

i get what you mean, i don't have as high expectations as you do, but i know that my theatre studies and psychology score will mean the world to me. i feel that if i don't get 44+ with each, ill be very dissapointed. put basically all my hard work into each. Also the possibility of top class makes me so nervous! im more eager to find out if i got a invite to audition rather than the ATAR itself :/ tried so hard, i will be devastated if i don't achieve my goals  :(

Following in Charmanderp's footsteps, now that I have had a little time to reflect and discuss with teachers:

Absolute minimum predictions
English: 43
Methods: 40
Biology: 41
Chemistry: 41
French: 32
Chinese (2011): 38
ATAR: 98.60

I'd be pretty cut with this, to be honest. Mainly because I won't make the Biomed clearly-in.

Absolute maximum predictions
English: 50
Methods: 43
Biology: 44
Chemistry: 44
French: 36
Chinese (2011): 38
ATAR: 99.60

I would honestly cry if I got this. But this is just wishful thinking.

Realistic estimate:
English: 46-47
Methods: 42
Biology: 42
Chemistry: 42
French: 35
Chinese (2011): 38
ATAR: 99.10-99.20

If it's 99.20, then that's the same ATAR as my sister, who I've vowed to beat. Hopefully I can just clinch past it by +0.05. :P

This probably comes across as unnecessarily pessimistic, but just be wary that a 46 in any subject as a predicted minimum is always dangerous (unless you literally know the exam answers and what you wrote :p).  With English in particular, there are always factors which could go wrong, including dud examiners, examiners who just don't like your style, or even just sheer bad luck.  And speaking as someone who was also aiming for a 50 in English in particular, I think something in the low 40s - even for a top level student - is generally going to be the highest "low" study score you can ever predict.  A 46 is harder and more random to obtain than people think; you just never, ever know.

(this is not to say that I doubt you'll probably get 46-50, because from the looks of it you should - just don't be too overconfident in your predictions I guess is my point :p)

Oh yes believe me, I'm perfectly prepared to get like a 40 in English. I wrote a poem/short story/essay fusion piece for Section B which I honestly would not be surprised to get a 5 for :P It's just that I've compensated for the 46 in English by being slightly over pessimistic for my other subjects, in order to get a balanced ATAR score. It makes no sense, I know. It's probably more of a minimum 'what I'd be not totally devastated with' prediction rather than a minimum 'what I could hypothetically get' prediction. And I did want to retain some element of optimism :P

Like I said I don't really feel uncomfortable with getting drastically lower than overconfident predictions because the actual score doesn't mean so much to me as the effort that was involved all year. But yeah. I shall stop rambling.

(Y) Sounds legit - I completely understand that irrational thing of doing certain scores for the sake of predictions that you don't necessarily believe in.  May the force be with you - I'm sure things will work out awesomely for you :)

I have relatively low expectations for myself, opposed to many of those beautiful predicted 99s I see in here.  Best of luck to everyone!

Chinese: 39-42

Minimum Predicted ATAR: 97.30
Maximum Predicted ATAR: 98.80

As much as I hoped for at least a 99.00 at the beginning of this year, I've decided to face reality. Achieving 99+ is no mean feat!
At the end of the day, I take my hat off to all those who obtain an ATAR score high enough to get into the course they want.  This is precisely what VCE is all about.

I have relatively low expectations for myself, opposed to many of those beautiful predicted 99s I see in here.  Best of luck to everyone!

English: 40-43
Methods: 38-40
Chemistry: 40-43
Chinese: 39-42
Psychology: 39-42

Minimum Predicted ATAR: 97.30
Maximum Predicted ATAR: 98.80

As much as I hoped for at least a 99.00 at the beginning of this year, I've decided to face reality. Achieving 99+ is no mean feat!
At the end of the day, I take my hat off to all those who obtain an ATAR score high enough to get into the course they want.  This is precisely what VCE is all about.

Actual
English: 43
Methods: 39
Chemistry: 43
Chinese: 48
Psychology: 48

Atar: 99.55

Holy mother of god.  I exceeded my expectations!
Looks like my medical dream isn't quite over yet!
Thank you to everyone who helped me throughout this year - from answering my numerous questions, to giving me emotional support.
I really couldn't have done it without you!

2011: Literature, ranked #1 Unit 4, 70/80 on the exam, raw 39.

Predicted ATAR: 98-99 (High 99s if I get incredibly lucky and ace Politics and Media, fingers crossed!).

That was surprisingly cathartic :P This is me being optimistic, a bit disappointing given I was aiming to get as close as I could to 99.90 at the start of the year. Anything above 99 is a bonus!
...

Pre-exam prediction of about 99.75+. Post exam prediction of low 99s, though potentially low 98s.

Actual score of 97.70.

Looking at your scores, charmanderp, I think it's probably the media which made the bulk of the difference.

You were spot on with English, you weren't too off with chemistry and even methods, politics would be bottom 2, so it wouldn't have made much of a difference anyway.

Yeah probably. Just so annoyed with Chem and Methods though, just feel like I got 7 or 8 less in each subject than I should/could have going into the exams. And Lit is a whole other story. Media I can actually accept though since it was probably my SAT that dragged me down and I didn't deserve to get a high mark for that having left it to the last minute, and same with Politics. Gahrgrbh;bh. Just a whirlwind of frustration and self-loathing at the moment, so much regret ):

Predicted Atar: 91.90

Melbourne Arts is a 90.9 (or at least was last year); I'm hoping I get in!

While my predictions were conservative, I never expected to do so well

English - 45
Revolutions - 44
Italian - 44
Literature (2011) - 39
Further Maths - 35
Classics - 32

ATAR: 98.00

Italian was probably the biggest surprise - I thought you had to be near fluent to get 40+. I've forgotten so much, only one month after exams. Idk how im going to pick it back up before uni starts -.-

I was hoping (quietly) for a 96 so I could do arts/law at ANU, but I dunno what to do now. I have a month to decide though :D
