ATAR/Study Score Prediction...compare to actual on 16th :D

[thushan]

Hmm, so 2.5 weeks to go until results, and we'd be feeling somewhat nervous now. Only last night I had a few nightmares of crappy results...anyway. Perhaps we could do what they did last year and make a prediction/compare thread!
EDIT: Realised I was a tad too optimistic/arrogant :S sorry guys, but I revised this

Another person falling victim to a low english score.. I feel for you man

[thushan]

yeah :S...well if i'm not good at english, well, i don't deserve the highest ATAR scores. oh well!

[Special At Specialist]

If you get a 45 in english language then you get a 99.95 atar score!

[thushan]

LOL if i got 45 in englang I'd be running riot!

[taiga]

I heard that if Thushan gets less than 49 in a subject it automatically scales up by an extra 6??

Really?... I dont even want to touch atarcalc lol. I dont want to get my hopes up nor have my dreams shattered

Think about it from an optimistic point of view:
1. You choose a score lower than what you get. Once you get your score, you are excited because you got higher than you expected.
2. You choose a score higher than what you get. For the next 2.5 weeks, you are happy and confident that you will do well, and although you might be a little disappointed at the end, your dreams won't be shattered.

Without being conservative...here are my predictions <3

English: owned all the sacs but completely screwed up in the exam. So...39 - 42. HOPING FOR 41.
Chem: didn't do so well on sacs, A+ on exam 1, got owned by exam 2 :S ...38 hopefully
Spesh: LOL FAILED ALL SACS (asian-ly) lost 1 on exam 1 but maybe about 10 for exam 2...so another 36-8
Latin: Went ok in sacs and EXAM WAS AWESOME. Think I can manage 34 yay!
Unimaths: Exam 1 was cool but exam 2 was an extreme failure. Hoping to scrape a 5

Chinese and Methods last year: 43 and 39 respectively

Based on ATARcalc: Aggregate = 194.2, ATAR 99.25...wish I could get 99.5 but that's cool too <3

I think pessimism is a better way in this case. You will either be right or pleasantly surprised.

English: A+, except for one A. Exam Wise- Okay? 42 - 46

Math Methods. 90% Overall.     Exam 1 smashed, Exam 2, died on the last question. I think I lost like 11 - 15 overall. I"m guessing 38 - 42.

Chemistry: Avg 85 - 90% Exam 1: A    Exam 2: A to low A+    36 - 38?

Literature: A+, except for 1 A.. Exam Wise- Okay? 40 - 45

Vietnamese : SS : 28 . yeah pft.

Economics. 2nd - 3rd rank. Exam? Pretty sure I gunned it. 44+

ATAR CALC: Minimum: 96.75 (Lowest Scores based on estimates)

Maximum: 99.25 given that Economics is SS 47.

[transgression]

I'll probably be one of those people who drop out of University and win the lotto

[werdna]

Here goes...

English: Rank 1, 96/100 each for Unit 3 and 4, hoping for around 50/60 on the exam = 42 SS
Legal Studies: Rank 1, 100/100 for Unit 3 and 98/100 for Unit 4, I think I got around 60/70 on the exam (new study design so hopefully the cutoff is lower) = 43 SS
History Revolutions: Rank 1, 100/100 each for Unit 3 and 4, hoping for around 65/80 on the exam = 40 SS
Business Management: Mid Rank, 85/100 for Unit 3 and 87/100 for Unit 4, probably got around 45/65 for the exam = 35 SS
Latin: Low Rank, 35/50 for Unit 3 and 31/50 for Unit 4, flunked the exam so I probably got 60/100 = 15 SS
Methods: 31 scaled from last year.. yes I hate maths.

Predicted ATAR: 90.50

[Furbob]

90.4+ and will be die happy....

*runs away*

but seriously

English - 36+
Accounting - 36+
Further - 38+ - dropped 5 on exam 1, around 5 on exam 2?
Japanese SL - 38+
Methods - go away
Uni Jap - 5.0 (was feeling alright after semester 1  then semester 2 assignments + VCE gen con preparation did not mix well.... got a HD and D respectively)

*being a tad conservative here/expecting the worst?*

Biology:

Probably rank 15 - 20 / 100 raw MHS (high A/low A+ average) -> in school standardisation -> out of school standardisation; Mid -> high A+
Exam 1: 70
Exam 2: 67-74 -  i think probably 70

So hopefully a 50

With the amount of time i've invested into biology; and the current state of my 1/2s, i would be disappointed with anything less than a 50 (seeing as Bio is top 4, each aggregate point is significant).
