ATAR calculator accurate? (1 Viewer)

[unLimitieDx]

So the subjects I do are 4u maths, physics, chemistry and advanced english. I give each a hsc mark of 80 and according to the calculator it's an estimate of 91.75. I understand that this atar is for 2011 and each year varies according to how well students do but to what extent is this true? Will the mark differ much?

 

[barbernator]

it is accurate for the year in which it was taken, and it wont differ too much from year to year.

 

[will_]

it is fairly accurate, so if u can achieve that, the atar estimate is close

 

[umm what]

If you get 80s for 4U, doesnt the atar go up to like 97+ ?? :S

but it only accounts for 1/5 of your aggregate, which is then converted to ATAR

 

[umm what]

I do MX 1, MX 2 , chem, physics and stand english, so if get 80s in all these subjects, i get an atar of 90ish????

but it only accounts for 1/5 of your aggregate, which is then converted to ATAR

 

[umm what]

And my teacher told me today that if we get like 85ish for chem and physics, that is considered a band 6... ur marks scale up

^Raw marks do get aligned to HSC marks.

And to OP, with those subjects the cohorts are pretty historically consistent, so it doesn't fluctuate that much so they are fairly accurate. Like no more than 1.5 either way I'd say.

85ish A HSC MARK ....

Last year they seemed to be somewhat more inaccurate then what they have been in previous years. This is probably because many of the ones available (Einstein, Matrix etc) havent been updated in a while.

Yeah, nah.

Talent was scaling from 2010 and matrix from 2009 and both had me at ~96.5

~whoops~

Every single subject I did scaled worse last year than years prior.

hey,

quick question. when ur entering your marks into the atar calculator do you put raw marks or alligned marks.

because dont uac take the raw marks and use that for the ATAR rather than alligned marks??

 

[king chopper]

On the SAM atar calculator on this website - how do you estimate your aligned mark. Would it be close to what i'm getting in school assesments or do i scale them up somewhat if i'm in a top 20 ranked school

You enter final marks.

ATAR calculators use HSC marks which are already aligned. This is why it is not very useful in terms estimates mid year since you end up having to estimate your HSC mark anyway.
