I think there's something wrong with the matrix one it's giving me an estimate of 81.10 when the atarcalculator.com.au gave me 94.45...
As I said, I think they are probably glitching. There is a gapping difference between 81 and 94. I am not 100% sure on this, but I think most were only updated recently, which is why there are so many bugs in the system.

Most accurate ATAR Calculator

Hi guys,
I was looking at what my ATAR might be like for tomorrow, and I was wondering, what do you all think is the most accurate ATAR calculator online? Yes, I know it changes year by year, but generally, what is the most accurate (mainly out of Einstein, Talent and Matrix)?
Thanks!

I think it's been quite stressed in this thread but i'll repeat it again, all of them will produce a various number that for some may only range quite small and some quite large, i will highly stress to use them accordingly it's not definite, the main thing to realise is ever member from different years will tell you the same that "X" calculator was most accurate for them but that would be dependent on the subjects and combination

Re: Most accurate ATAR Calculator

Do you guys reckon talent 100 appear to be more realistic? It has the total number of candidates that do 2012 HSC, but Einstein estimate the ATAR using the total number of candidates in 2011.

atarcalculator.com.au gave me an atar of 75.25 when i put my english mark as 75 but if that english mark was 78, the atar becomes 86. Where as dux, talent it100 and matrix all gave me 86-88 range. So which one is being honest here or am do i just wanna see what i want to see?
it's confirmed. this happened to me too. l put in the results of all my subjects, where english was 80. l got 80.25. but when l put in 81 it gave me 86.55, which matched what the other calculators got.
atarcalculator.com.au has a glitch in english and should not be used

atarcalculator.com = 97.8
Matrix = 97.75
Talent 100 = 98.1

Go talent!

Everyone getting huge differences, be careful when entering extension marks - some calculators like them doubled and others don't. Then it becomes even more complicated if MM2 is involved.

I'm having issues with matrix where it seems some of the marks I'm putting in aren't affecting the aggregate and consequently it's way lower than all the other calcs

matrix is super glitchy, if u click the 2011 option multiple times, your aggregate score/atar seems to change without altering any marks

Don't put too much hope on them.
Last year I was predicted a 97.5-98 by most calculators.

Ended up with a 96.

Yes, but often with subjects that their candidature fluctuates greatly meaning the scaling can often by quite different.
Depends on your definition of much also (like 3 points or so I took it as), and also this is more common in the lower ATARS (the two cases I knew were estimating a 70s ATAR and an 80s ATAR).

I've never really heard of a 93 actually being a 96 or something.
