hey guys,

what does it take to get an ATAR of 55-58??? having come this far into the year?......i just think its such a waste being at school because of my poor performance during the year in certain subjects.. but my parents are depending on me to get into UNI and i really dont want to dissapoint the (and i know its my fault for doing quiet bad at school!)

p.s i know you are wondering what im going to do with an atar of 55 and thats because i have spoken to my careers advisor about this and i have found a uni that will accept such a low atar.

thanks in advance guys!..

you'll get 55-58 lol

just do decently in the externals, start studying now and stop asking "ifs"

Worst case scenario, you do a diploma for one year and transfer into uni the year after. It's not the end of the world.

i know i can do that 'drifting95' but my parents want me to go straight to uni from high school ! thats the problem.. and plus if i dont get into uni straight away ill end up going tafe or something and then go to uni from there..

what are your ranks etc?

 

[enoilgam]

An average person putting in a half decent effort (i.e. showing up to class, doing some homework and maybe a little revision before an exam) should be able to comfortably get 60+.

This, and yeah just put 15 mins of revision to every subject every day and increase it to an hour before exams.

Well, at this school which I would refrain from naming, I know people who worked relatively hard (i.e everyday) and still got 50's. The school is ranked 500+ as well.

Not even kidding. Their dux was an 82 ATAR once.

what spiritual being said is what is worrying me most because as he said people worked very hard to achieve that and i also go to a school thats ranked 300+ im worrying so much! i just want to drop out ! but then again its not worth droping out now i might aswell finish and see my end result i guess...

I think you'll be fine

what are your ranks
from what I remember, you had a few mid range ranks which is an appropriate trajectory for a 60's atar

 

[merna7]

yeah at the begining of year 12 my ranks were pretty good but up until trials i dropped down dramatically! but i have three more assessments left which are next week and i'm studying for them atm to push my ranks up even if its just by a bit..

 

[merna7]

and by dramatically i mean bellow average..

That sounds about right for a low ranking school. Even still, you are on even footing for the externals - even a bunch of band 4s there should be more than enough.
