You are an absolute legend

Could you add English EAL/D and Chinese and literature Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee lysm my god

I would but there unfortunately isn’t enough data on them on rawmarks.info

Haha ;-; no worries I guess I can find some similar scaling subjects there, big thanks tho

wld you say this is more or less accurate the better your school ranks?

ranks will probably help no matter what, in the end all of this is just an approximation
better to wait until hsc marks come out lol and then put them into atar compass and matrix and all the other rando ones and then average the estimate

or

just wait until atar comes out

99.95 attitude right there

if you are ranked well in a good school, then this calculator will likely underestimate your ATAR. If you are ranked poorly in a bad school, then this calculator will likely overestimate your ATAR.

Your moderated school assessment marks make up 50% of your HSC marks and I obviously physically can’t account for them, this calculator just assumes that they’re the same as your aligned exam marks which is unlikely unless you’re ranked first.

i’m ranked absolute ass in a top 10 schl so i’m cancelling it out therefore the calculator is 100% accurate + thanks for this ur spreadsheet skills are magnificent

hi, carrots, which subject has similar scaling as Japanese beginner? so i can put my trial marking into the calculator to see the prediction of my atar! thx!

I just checked and while there isn’t any alignment data for Japanese beginners so I can’t say with certainty, it should be approximately similar to PDHPE, which if I had to guess would have slightly worse alignment but it does have slightly better scaling so it should cancel out

if i'm ranked first at a terribly performing school, my assessment mark should just be very similar to my exam mark right? (assuming I get the highest exam mark)

Your exam mark and school assessment mark will be identical in that case, so this calculator should be quite accurate as long as the raw marks themselves are accurate

the atar it gives me seems a bit high.

 

[carrotsss]

the atar it gives me seems a bit high.

if you’re using it correctly (ie with a paper marked fairly and that is similar to last years hsc in difficulty) then it’ll be accurate

 

[Unovan]

the atar it gives me seems a bit high.

take about 10 atar points off and it should be about right

How does raw 70s give an atar close to the 90s

 

[Awesome8r]

if you’re using it correctly (ie with a paper marked fairly and that is similar to last years hsc in difficulty) then it’ll be accurate

so you need a combination of 50s and 60s to get an atar of 80?

don’t ask me, ask nesa - scaling is just good

if you want to verify yourself try finding raw marks on https://rawmarks.info and then entering their aligned equivalent into ATAR compass and compare to the result you get by putting those raw marks into my calculator
