Atar Estimate for a friend! :) (1 Viewer)

[hazza1424]

Hey! i have a friend who doesnt use bos and asked me to get him an atar estimate!

His ranks are:
English standard- 11/80
Mathematics- 1/8
Maths Ext 1- 1/4
Physics - 1/12
Economics - 1/11
Business- 1/40

School rank is about 350ish

95+ english might let him down but.. as english units are counted no matter what

 

[Riproot]

~95 probably a little below or a little above.

 

[hazza1424]

wow! thanks guys! his pretty suprised! he was expecting low 90's!

Well it could be low 90s.

My friend from a ~200 ranked school last year had better ranks in some subjects and worse in others than him and got 89.55.

His ranks were:
English standard- 1/101
Mathematics- ~4/~24
Physics - 1/18
PDHPE - 1/~16 (he got ~93 so scaling was negligible)
Biology - 4/24

I'd say high 80s at least, but he could be looking at low 90s. Hard to gauge as some of his subject cohorts are so small, and there is a large range of calibre of student coming 1st in a 300s school. Some would not be near 1 in a higer rank school, where some could still be 1 at a higher rank school.

But i think English will be detrimental for his ATAR hence the high 80s-but if all his rank 1 subbies he performs well in, he could scrape the 90s.

thanks! either way his happy aslong as he gets 90+!

Anyone who's provided an estimate does not fully understand how the ATAR works.

You simply cannot provide an estimate because he's ranked first in most of his subjects. We don't know how good he is, for all we know he could be the best the state has ever seen in all his subjects except English.

That.

 

[hazza1424]

well thats true aswell, but i mean most his marks have been in the 80's and 90's but i guess we just wait and see wat really happens!

 

[someth1ng]

Yeah, iSplicer is right, it's impossible to give a single closed estimate with such ranks like that. He could be state rank in everything or Band 5 in everything. It's impossible to distinguish, his school rank doesn't help me give him an accurate estimate either.

Hence why you can say 'XX.XX+' as an estimate.

So, I'm going to say: 89+, but probably ~93-95.

Could be anything, really. It could be 85 for all we know but most likely 90+, where in the 90s range is up to OP's friend.

So basically "89+" equates to "89.00 - 99.95". It's perfectly valid, but I'd question how useful this estimate really is =P

Yes. But the "~93-95" gives a tighter range.

And it's totes useful if the person only wants ~85.

~97
