Are you guys actually pretty accurate when you make an ATAR estimate? Because you guys give me a higher estimate than an ATAR calculator, I'm so confused

by a mile, atar calcs only use ur HSC marks for an estimate, we take school rank, trial marks, cohort size, subject aligning/scaling into consideration.

So if you have your hsc marks how much do school marks/ranks affect this?

people are generally much higher performing in the top ranked schools compared to the lower ones.

Waiiit. So my schools ranked like 520th, does that mean my ATAR will be incredibly low? You guys predicted about 73, and ATAR calculator predicted 58. Which is more likely?

There is a reason why Adrita is the "queen" of ATAR estimates you know...but yes, atar calculator only takes into consideration the final exam marks, which are impacted by cohort (school rank) and internal ranking.

P.S. root, did you get banned for derailing again? lol
