It is actually quite rare for anyone to have any marks changed from a recheck, let alone one that is significant enough to affect the ATAR.

Also remember that a recheck can go both ways. If you were incorrectly awarded more marks than you should have then the marks will be adjusted accordingly.

really? I’ve heard they can’t take away marks, only add (however gaining marks is very rare)

yALL 12HOURS TO GO

I think of it more like 3-4 hrs because I'm gonna try fall asleep after 12 and if I'm asleep I don't have to wait so it doesn't count + to me the HSC marks are way scarier than atar anyway because once I see them I'll know if I got it or not

Anyone expecting state ranks?

do we get our hsc marks first and then atar at 9??

Yeah 6 am for HSC marks and 9 for atar but apparently the text msg can come earlier than 6 depending on ur position in the alphabet

Next year I’ll be that student who puts my marks in every atar calculator in existence lmao

 

[#RoadTo31Atar]

I'm gonna open atar calculators right when I wake up before 6 so that maybe they won't crash when I put my marks in them

Wow I thought they could only increase marks and couldn't decrease them? Ah well, you guys probably know more than me. If that is really the case, then I stand corrected.

This is mainly on the premise in that I couldn’t find anything official from NESA which specifically says students cannot get marks reduced from the process. They just say it is to “confirm your mark was processed correctly” which seems to imply accuracy is the intent.

I am aware that there is a common view that you can only get a no change or an increase. If anyone can find an official NESA source that confirms this, happy to review that.

 

[#RoadTo31Atar]

Dude I did that too lol
In reference to my actual results, talent 100 overestimated by around 0.5 and the other ones all underestimated by around 0.3 iirc

Are you from NSW?

 

[#RoadTo31Atar]

yeah lol why? which state does it sound like I come from? haha I'm actually curious tbh

Haha that's not I meant I was just curious because I think some calculators are more accurate for different states but I might be wrong about that

 

[#RoadTo31Atar]

Alarm set for 5:40 let's goooooo

 

[dumNerd]

oic haha
I heard that the talent 100 calculator is more generous, sometimes overestimating by up to 1 whole atar point.

What's the most accurate one?

What about hscninja? heard it is very accurate

 

[#RoadTo31Atar]

Yep I think you're right about talent, I think matrix is pretty accurate so I'm mostly basing my calcs off that

 

[Kyufruit]

Love how it’s not even our atar that’s coming out yet here we are, just as nervous as everyone else

 

[#RoadTo31Atar]

FYI matrix underestimated mine by around 0.3

Ok thank you - it's nice to hear about underestimations rather than overshooting

My sister used those calculators last year, and it overestimated her ATAR by 4 whole points!

Omg that must of really been hard on her when she saw her actual atar

Did she get >90 tho because I think it's not very accurate for lower atars
