Can i really trust the ATAR calcs??? (1 Viewer)

[MagnificentOne]

hmmm?

 

[MagnificentOne]

what are the -/+'s ?

 

[Shadowdude]

Of course you can trust them, the error is quite small, within 3 or so points.

 

[MagnificentOne]

so -3/+3 ? no bigger shift/changes?

 

[AussieVesti]

Yes you can. The ATAR calculator on this site was 0.05 off my actual ATAR.

^ which calculator did you use? 0.0

I think sam is outdated/wrong
There's no way my crap marks can get 93 UAI lol

I know of 6 people who used the calculator last year and our Atars were all within 1 mark of the calculator.

Don't use this one...... It gave me 98 while Matrix and Einstein yielded 87.2

obviously it was an error by yourself lol cmon now

i used atarcalculator.com last year. was off by 0.25 (probably because a few subjects would've been 93.4 instead of 93 etc, keeping in mind the marks you see today are rounded and not exact)

How accurate is atarcalculator.com in general? If my atar estimate was 83.00 according to this website, what would be the worst case scenario?

 

[b00m]

i dont think you'd see lower than 80. could go as high as 85~ etc

So it will be extremely rare for me to get under 80 now? (my atar estimate is 83.70 according to this site)

 

[Urgh]

yeah no it just told me 98.8 when other calcs say 89... its broken, or at least it is for me

 

[zxreth]

idk how trustworthy talent 100 calc is, it gave me an estimate 4 above other calculators. Anyone else have this issue?

yes, i doubt you will. Have a play with a few atar calculators though. matrix, atarcal etc

maybe, i guess i havent tried SAM in a while.but for extension subjects or one unit subjects make sure they're out of 50 i think

Thanks, I hope (wish/pray) that you're right.

SAM gave me 100. It's fked.

ye my bad, harrisony just said in another thread its totally screwed

 

[OmmU]

It still gave me close to Matrix. Matrix = 92 (while other online give ~92.8), SAM = 92.5 and other years 93.2
