Can I get an ATAR between 80-85

I'm doing ok this year. I need to work a bit harder though
English - 88.5/100 for Unit 3. Ranked about 2nd or 3rd.
Psych - 89/100 for Unit 3 - Ranked 2nd by 1%
Legal - 88/100 for Unit 3 - Ranked 1st
Further - worst subject. Currently on 47/60. Would be ranked in the middle
History - doing it by correspondence and struggling. Got Medium/High on 1st SAC.

I did Studio Arts last year and got a study score of 37.

Based on this SO FAR does it seem that it would be achievable for me to get an ATAR around mid 80s?

I scored 85.7 and looking at those stats I'd say you have a good shot if you go really well on exams. Take a look at my sig and you'll see that you will hit 80-85 with a 40 or two, and then above average study scores all round. I only did five subjects as well.

Don't worry about your worst subject. It only counts for 10% so try to at least get 30 so it's an increment of 3 to your ATAR.

Jump the rank for English, you're on the right track!

It's difficult to tell just from SAC scores (some schools have harder SAC's than others) or from rankings (some schools are more competitive than others), but here is a rough prediction:
English - 40
Psychology - 40
Legal - 40
Further - 30
History - 35
ATAR - 88.80
2012 ATAR - 86.75
2013 ATAR - 88.50
2014: BSci (Statistics) at RMIT
2015 - 2017: BCom at UoM
