thanks. what will the workload be like?

Anything from an B+ to an A+ will get you where you need to be. With spec, if you get in the 30s it's approx B+ for all GA's (graded assessments. If you get ~35 for all subs ( High B+ to High A+ depends on the subject) then you'll be looking at a score of around 90+


And the workload.. well, it varies I guess. Just focus on owning your top 4.

lol atarcalc doesn't have grade inputs

True, but you can't really give an estimate for 'average grades' to get in the 90s because every subject is different, so just estimate study scores and see how much you need to get a 90+

You can try to estimate your study score by using mao's study score estimator. Do a search for it on this forum.
However, remember that your sac scores may be scaled depending on how well your cohort performs on the exam

Good luck!

It's different for every person, it's about studying smart and not hard.
You can spend 6 hours memorising the textbook, but this may not be as effective as doing 6 hours of questions.
Time management is important, make effective use of your time and less than 2.5 hours a night will produce great results.

I would say your ATAR is more about the exam than SACs. Your SACs will scale accordingly anyway, do the best you can and don't get caught up with grades.
