Only your final rank is important. The other separate ones aren't very helpful.
You should find out what percentage of students from your school usually get band 6.
All anyone will tell you here is 'of course you can, just ace externals'.

Physics/Chem/2U maths def a chance, you have a pretty decent school rank if I remember correctly.

3u maths ehhhh E4 might be out of your shot, but high E3? That said, you could still get E4 killing external.

School rank is around 80 I believe. Cohort is strong as fuck.


Since I did pretty good in the trials, my teacher was saying that I was looking at an E4 for the trials.

Who knows if your cohort lifts then you could get B6 in all?

...
don't your teachers give overall ranks? or maybe compute it your self?
cos that's more relevant to your assessment mark

don't worry too much about your ranking and stuff at this stage, because now the only thing you have control of is the HSC exams, which is 50% of your final mark.
so I'd say you could potentially get band 6s or high band 6s in your subjects if you prepare yourself really well for the exams

also ask your teacher how many band 6s your school gets each year, and guesstimate it for your year. but I doubt this would be accurate

A high band 6 in phys and chem is impossible. Kill the 3u external (75+/84) and you'll get an e4. And 75+ raw in chem hsc gets you a b6...but they mark really harshly.
