He gave zero information that could determine his accuracy of his atar. So i based it of the thought that his rank 2 is below rank 1 by 1-10% in terms of marks. I also took in consideration of the possibilty of how well his grade could have done. By saying his atar is 96~ that is so generalised and in a way "saying it for the sake of making him happy" , since you have taken zero consideration of the factors that can influence it. My atar estimate of 88-92 is a safe estimate in a way it caters for a weaker cohort and such. Thats why i asked him to give his marks , as such if his cohort was stronger and his demonstrated ability was high his atar would be at least 93+. You have taken zero consideration of how atar is actually given and the factors prevalient. But when it comes to it this is atar scaling on the school based area instead of raw marks. It is so risky to give such a high atar calculation with 0 knowledge of the many factors that can influence it. ( i actually have had pre knowledge of how a persons atar was calculated within 2007-2010 from the previous education ministers). Thats why i rather give him a safe estimate ( that is not accurate) from the information he gives, then someone like you who is like 96 automatically or the others who commented saying 97. I even specifically said it was a inaccurate estimate , but a safe one. Learn your facts before trying to put down someone elses knowledge and opinion. Thats why this is a open forum.
