ATAR subject selection

I am a Year 10 student and about to pick my subjects for senior school. I'm currently considering literature, general math, biology, visual art, modern history and maybe chinese (not sure yet) I am planning on working towards psychology for future pathways and was wondering if anyone has experience on any of those subjects/what to expect/any advice

QCAA scaling

Can someone tell me how the humanities scale - I've heard from some people it's hard to get a 90+ ATAR no matter your grade because they scale poorly. On the other hand I've also heard if your raw marks are great your ATAR can be high.

My general subjects are; Modern and Ancient History, Legal studies, English and Spanish and I consistently achieve a band 6.

I guess I'm just trying to understand the scaling system, especially for the humanities rather than science/maths.

Edit: Thanks for all the responses- I'll have a look at an ATAR calculator and maybe find an estimate. Thanks!
