Can anyone else estimate my brother's ATAR? I would like to get as many as possible to increase accuracy. Thank you! :) Any help or advice would be much appreciated!

Re: ATAR estimate please! (Very detailed info provided) So I've gathered some more stats from the topscores website which I hope will help any further estimates. (Thanks Rathin for the tip) Number of Band 6/Band E4 per subject: 2015 English Advanced: 15 Maths Ext 1: 14 Maths Ext 2: 10...

Re: ATAR estimate please! (Very detailed info provided) Thanks dan! :) By cohort, I'm assuming you mean his school's cohort this year? How do you know his cohort is strong for other subjects?

That information is outdated. The SAT has been reworked/updated, and is very different to what it was prior to 2016. It is now out of 1600, with an optional essay section (Reading and Maths are still each out of 800). As for the original question, I did the PSAT (Preliminary SAT - same as the...

Re: ATAR estimate please! (Very detailed info provided) Thanks Rathin :)

Hi all! :) I would like to request an ATAR estimate for my brother, who is doing his HSC this year. The following information is from his half-yearly report. I've also included some detailed statistics provided by his school (In case they may help your estimates). School rank (Trinity Grammar...

Thanks haysheet! :D Appreciate your effort. :)

Damn I didn't know there was a Time Lord Academy. Should've applied there ;_; I'm jealous

Can I be the next Malcolm Turnbull then :P

Thanks :)

More ATAR estimates are welcome! :) I would like to get as many opinions as possible.

Now that makes me think... What's the point of doing accelerated 2U maths if in most cases it's not going to count anyway (assuming that most people doing accelerated 2U plan to do MX2 in Year 12)? The only benefit I can think of is that you get to experience an actual HSC exam, as well as the...

Ahhh that actually makes so much more sense. Thank you for explaining everything haha. :) What you just explained is something that I think everyone who does accelerated 2U needs to know about (for their own good), but unfortunately I feel like very few people actually know or understand it. :/

Yeah I get that. What I'm unsure about is if 2U counted instead of Geo, wouldn't his ATAR be made up of 6 units of maths? Since MX1 and MX2 are counted as 2 units each... That's 4 units already. And then if you add 2U on top of that... 6 units of maths just seems dodgy to me. That's why I'm...

Thanks sida! :D So just to clarify, if for some reason he does worse in MX2 than he did in Maths 2U, then his 2U result from this year WILL count towards his ATAR? What about other subjects? E.g. if he gets a worse result in MX1 or Geography than he got for 2U, will his 2U result count? :/

Thanks Rathin and tonysoprano! :D I'm sure my bro will be very happy hear that. That's a lot higher than we expected haha

Hi all! :) I would like to request an ATAR estimate for my younger brother, who is doing his HSC in 2016. The following information is based on his final Year 11 report. I've also included some detailed statistics provided by his school. (I don't know if they'll help your estimates, but...

Whether an American uni will permit you to take up an Australian course for the first semester will depend on the uni. I know some unis (e.g. Columbia) allows it, but generally most American unis do not. If you were to start on an Australian course, most American unis will consider you a...

Definitely achievable (if you can afford it). :) I'm studying in England right now.

I agree with your point, but have to say that at least BoS has a much better community/vibe than either the Student Room or CollegeConfidential. (Especially CC - it can be toxic place sometimes)
