are my ranks looking good? (1 Viewer)

[lucy083201]

im currently year 12 (class of 2026), and i got my year 11 final marks yesterday
i want to know if my ranks are good/acceptable or would it affect me in terms of atar (currently im looking for a 99.5 atar)

my school rank: 270-300 (idk exactly)
my subjects: math adv, math ext (dropped), eng adv, bio, chem, physics and economics
band 6 count at my school last year (2024):
math adv: 6/<20 (idk the exact number)
math ext: 4/7 [although i dropped so not significant ig]
eng adv: 0
bio: 0
chem: 1/<20 (idk the exact number)
eco: 0

my ranks:
math adv: 5/19 [currently 18] grade B
math ext: 4/11 grade B
eng adv: 12/44 [currently 30 something] grade B
bio: 7/48 grade B
chem: =4/18 [currently 15] grade B
physics: 9/12 [currently 10] (aiming to drop physics by next year) grade C
economics: 3/17 [currently 12] grade A

what do you all think?
im asking if my ranks are good bc i dont see myself imporving as much if im being honest

these are y11 ranks so they literally count for nothing in your atar. the ranks are reasonably strong but your school seems to not perform too well. if you want a 99.5, you'll definitely need to aim higher in your ranks though.

so, given ur current ranks and school b6, it doesnt *look* like a 99.5 setup. this can change drastically throughout the y12 tho, dont worry.

kudos for going thru y11 with those heavy subjects, but going to 10 units will, in my opinion, allow u to perform better overall. i think you can definitely improve. u got this!

hm. your ranks are honestly decent. but i think, if your school is ranked relatively low, you need to be aiming for AT LEAST top 5 in every subject, ideally top 3, to be anywhere near the high-90s for an atar.
i think you can do with with lots of hard work and focus. the biggest thing i learned in year 12 was to drop subjects that i was just bad at, just get rid of the dead weight.

do you think if i get rank 1st but bad marks this will still affect me? i mean the person that is first in chemistry got an 83%

im aiming to do optometry at unsw which requires a 99.5 atar; do you think my marks are suitable for gateway? it will reduce my atar to a 92 which i think is more achievable than a 99.5 (our 2024 dux atar was 97.5)
