How many units do you have? And what are your subjects + ranks + school rank? And we will see. Remember, your raw is moderated.

School rank is 520th
General maths 11/54
Standard English 2/69

Is my ATAR gonna be below 50 now?

Sorry mate didn't see this lol. Because your school rank is extremely low, your rankings are doing you a bit of justice. You claim that you achieved at least a 60-70-80, this will be moderated mind you, and considering general maths was collectively seen as hard your 50 maybe pushed up to a 55-60 which is great. I'll be thinking an ATAR of 55-62. If someone can verify this please.

Thanks bro. Are ATAR calculators accurate? And I thought general maths is considered easy?

ATAR calculators only play with raw marks - the marks that aren't moderated. They dont take into consideration ranks, school rank, module selection etc which plays a massive role in ATARs. So if you do want a rough outline of where you will be it will give you an indication. I thought Gen was okay. MC was fine but in SA line of best fit, and simultaneous equations I just skipped over. My cohort found it VERY difficult. But if you found it easy thats good, you may actually recieve more than 50!

But dont take my word for it. There are other people on here who give scarily accurate estimations. Just keep "bumping" this thread so they notice when they come online or somethig.
