Do only high ranked schools get ATAR estimates after half yearlies?
If your school doesn't give ATAR estimates, you can request for one (e.g. from your year advisor or perhaps, deputy principal or principal).

However, on average, I'd argue that BoS estimates are much more accurate than school estimates.

Also, keep in mind that post-half yearlies estimates, whether they're from your school or BoS, will always only be 'indicative' :)

should wait after trials for an estimate, asking before will just stress you out. Just aim for the best you can and get your ranks as good as possible.

LOL i got my atar estimate... English dragged mine down D: its between 90-95 range... The teacher said that this is the most pessimistic atar predictions. Kind of demoralising when some one gets there most pessimistic prediction on of 99.1:L

Remember that an estimate is just that, an estimate. A mere prediction. iirc my lowest estimate was 78 and that was just after half yearlies

Why, what are you aiming for?

90-95 at worse, sounds excellent. Especially when there's loads of time and assessments to improve if you want to get higher than that.

Wow I'm really dumb.

I have that book and dismissed it because I could only see the "TOPIC INDEX" at the inside back cover which didn't have all the topics. Just looked and the rest of topics are in the inside front cover.

Thanks!
