Can I still achieve the ATAR I want?

[kylieandersen]

Hi,

I have finished my trials and know that I have failed my maths exam. This is what I believe my internal marks will be:

Maths - around 37 (Ranking around 19/23)
Earth & Environmental - 79.5 (Ranking 1st)
Biology - around 75 (Ranking 10th)
PDHPE - 85 (Ranking 1st)
English - 75 (Ranking 8th)

I want to get an atar of 90+. I missed practically all the maths course this year. If I get above 90 in all my HSC external exams can I still get 90+ atar?
Also, if I get about 70 or above in maths and 90+ in all other subjects can I get 90+ atar?

I'm stressed

Hi Kylie! Welcome to the forums

An ATAR of 90+ is still possible for you if you smash the exams, especially given that your ranks are really good overall! Work hard to bring 2U up as high as you can, failing a course will make it super difficult to get into the high ranges, and since your rank isn't as strong there you need to maximise your result in the HSC to offset that.

Otherwise, bring everything else as high as it can go to offset the Maths mark. If you do super well in the other stuff, that makes Maths less important

Don't be stressed! Figure out why you didn't do as well as you liked, come up with a plan to fix those issues, and work as hard as you can

Congrats on turning things around!  Don't forget that you've got exams which will carry the most weight in your marks. I wouldn't give up quite yet!
