What it takes to reach 63.75Using VTAC's official aggregate to ATAR table.
You need an aggregate of about 112.1 (out of a possible 210): your best English plus three other scaled study scores, plus 10% of your fifth and sixth. If your scaled scores were all about equal, that is roughly 26.7 in each study.
Scaled scores depend on the study: see how each VCE subject scales, and use the calculator to estimate yours from SAC and exam marks.
