How hard is it to get an ATAR of 70?

[Maldenz]

I'm undertaking year 12 this year but am only doing 4 subjects, and one of the subjects is scaled down alot!  My marks so far have been

Biology:
Sac1: 91%
Sac2: 93%
Sac3: 96%
Sac4: 100%
Sac5: 100%
Further maths:
Sac1: 96%
Sac2: 95%
English:
Sac1: 67%
Sac2: 90%
Sac3: 80%
Outdoor and environmental studies:
Sac1: 93%

If I keep up these marks will I be able to get a decent atar score? I want to at least get 65 thanks

There is definitely a very good chance you'll even pass over 65, given that you keep up the effort!

If you get 35 raw in each of those subjects (just above average), then you'll get an ATAR of about 73 - see http://vce.atarcalc.com/

I would say you're probably looking at a 90+ atar by the looks of things (assuming you continue to do well in english)

This can definitely not be inferred from the SAC scores; for all we know they're the easiest SACs in the nation.

Fair enough

You easily have potential with this SAC scores. Continually work hard. Your further/biology scores will carry you to a 90+ ss if you maintain your ranks+do well on exam. You will easily get 70 so theres no issue there.

Wheres your 5th subject?

the naplan results are the most viable pieces of evidence you have cause they are really the only external exams youve recently sat.

*My percentile ranking against the rest of the state in my year 9 naplan closely (relatively anyway) mirrors my ss from last year

I disagree with the idea that NAPLAN could (or should) even loosely be used to judge your standing within the state in Year 12. NAPLAN/Year 9 level content is probably distant enough from Year 12 to the extent that you can't really reliably infer much at all from it.

NAPLAN's purpose and the way that test is designed is also quite different to how exams for VCE subjects are designed. Even for the GAT, which I guess is somewhat similar to the NAPLAN, it isn't all that often that there's a clear relationship with study scores achieved and GAT scores.

If anything, the most viable piece of evidence you could use to figure out where you stand is probably if you feel like you understand the content you've covered so far well enough that you'd be able to do well on the exam (though even with that you end up learning a lot in that last month of exam revision).

I found my Year 3 AIMS Test result a few days ago. I couldn't get any higher for writing. Coincidence?

I think so.

Don't underestimate yourself mate, aim higher. With sac scores like that you should be aiming for above 80 or even 90 as a matter of fact.
