Need 60.
Got 83.05.
Suffered from Glandular Fever during exams and opted for no special consideration because I just didn't believe in it. Now I wonder what i could have gotten with it haha.

It takes the best of your derived score versus your actual exam score, so if you smashed the exam, you would have kept it!

Congrats.

Well English was meant to be my close to 50 subject before I got sick. My tips for that are just keep handing essays back and making alterations, even if it is 4 or 5 times for the one essay, the teachers are your best friends.

Economics, do as many practise exams as possible, even old study design ones, concentrate on dominating the SACs as well. People say exam prep is the most important thing, but a top SAC rank will really help your cause.

History (revolutions) - I thought I did a bit better on this than I did so you might not want to take my advice, but doing a lot of practise exams will help you structure your answers correctly (it's a weird exam structure and takes a while to get used to), then put in a fair bit of time on learning obscure material so you're prepared for everything. If you're doing French or Russian rev I can send you some pretty helpful stuff.

Further - easy subject, don't get complacent with it, but if you're intelligent you're capable of absolutely dominating it.

Psych - I did this in year 11 so I can't really remember much to be quite honest, sorry about that.

Thanks a lot for the answer mate, its a massive help already. Im quite looking forward to next year to be honest, the scaling is probably the thing that worries me a tad. Its good to knock Lit on the head even if I was hoping for a touch more and the step down from methods to further is right up my alley, I was unable to knuckle down and work this year knowing I had the easier option waiting. I'm hoping for high 40's in English, Further should be a walk in the park to be honest, I've really enjoyed Economics this year and find that it comes quite naturally, History will probably be the real test, I've heard the exam is really make or break. We are doing the French and American Revs so anything on the French that you have would be a massive help :thumbsu::thumbsu:

Flunked economics big time, I've got no idea where it all went wrong. Was aiming for about 42, got 36. Couldn't believe it.

One of my friends did the same. Thought he dominated and somehow got a B+ on the exam (when aiming for low 40s) and got 36. Was pretty disappointed for him :(

Er.. That is exactly what happened to me. Got B+ on the exam, got 36.

Accounting was a disaster, should never have done it. It's not an easy subject and it doesn't get marked up either. 36 for that.

English, annoyed. A+, A+, A = 38 for me, but 41 for someone else. (Yes I do realise there are high and low grades).

Definitely believable that all those who posted their ATAR's in this thread got 80+..... :rolleyes:

LMAO

Why would you lie about something like that over the Internet? To make yourself feel better? :doubt:

Generally it's the ones who are on the Internet posting their scores who have done fairly well. You're not going to see many low scores - obviously because people who did $hit aren't going to want to share it.
 
Got a average 34 in Business Management, easy subject if I had seriously studied for each SAC but what can you do.

Not the worst of scores, hoping for four 40+s next year! ;)
 
Not bad son. :D

Go straight into an apprenticeship is my recommendation. Build some contacts.
