how does internal rank and external rank combine to give our ATAR rank ?

As bored said, its too complicated and you prob wont understand it. Just do the best you can. You'll ALWAYS get an ATAR higher than you expect, thats one thing I've learned from experience! (;

Your scores look pretty impressive, where you getting 90's and high 80's before the HSC?
yeh I reckon chromatic did pretty good ( if those are high real marks and ATAR )

for someone that had a fairly low scaling set of subjects he did pretty good to get 94ATAR , yes it is not the best ATAR around but I reckon he could have got a higher ATAR than people that did both 4unit english and 4unit math

for the love of god, its not what subjects you pick, it's how much effort you put into each one. put 0 effort in, expect a 0 result, likewise try your best and get the best ATAR you can achieve. simple.

Subjects definitely matter, trust me.

I failed General Maths and Economics in year 11 :) I did no work, absolutely nothing, just partied. I got band 3's in the school certificate and like 1 band 4.

Chromatic, you pwn at effective study! I was quite impressed at your preparation package for the EngAdv test - the listing of techniques, etc

:) Secretly, I probably studied about as much as you did, you're just smarter lol and had an advantage. I'd assume you were one of the smartest people around in year 11?

I was never OVERLY intelligent, I just planned my attack and executed it effectively. If you can break the HSC down into a multi-leveled FPS, you'll find that it's a lot easier to beat that 99.95 boss at the end!

my best friend's friend did:
hospitality, cafs, sor, english adv, general maths and business and recieved an atar of 93.85. she didnt get the premiers all rounder OR any state ranks.

unless you dont believe thats a very high atar, it is still very much achievable to recieve a good atar. you have to work to get the results.

The last column is of interest. Note that most courses have a max atar of 99+
This means that it is possible to do "low scaling" subjects and still get a very good ATAR. As long as you love doing it, and apply yourself to it.
According to the .pdf, 0.04% of those doing eng ex2 were not eligible for an atar?

Also, what is Philosophy Distinction that sounds badass.
