I've put my marks into about 4 different ATAR calculators, and checked every year of the MATRIX one. They are all giving 99.95 without fail. Am I just setting myself up for disappointment tomorrow? - What chance do I have of not getting this? (The aggregates are all around 480).

You never know. Scaling is different every year. Also WTF! If it keeps saying, 99.95 I would've pooped gold mate.

I think Sciences will.

Only 8.5% got b6 in Physics this year, usually 12-13%

Only 6% for b6 in Bio, again usually ~12%
Any information about English and Maths or you only have data for science?

I found that some atar calculators were overinflated. Especially the dux one. I think matrix was the closest to mine.

They all seem to be very nice to me with their estimates, interesting they're also split 50/50 on which unit won't count...
