How accurate are ATAR calculators? (2 Viewers)

[obliviousninja]

My estimates are ranging from 94.9-96.4 :/ I need a 95.9 for my course so fingers crossed!!

How sure are you on law at macq? Very limited opportunities if you do plan to pursue a career in law. Most of the grad jobs get snapped up by unsw/usyd, and a small minority to uts.

Arrgghhh so I'm assuming ANU is a bad move? Should I stay in Sydney? =/

Yeah hence the science as well, I'm not sure which path to pursue at the moment so I'm doing a double degree

Nah, ANU is decent.

I then tried dux and it gave me a 94.8 So i was like okay sweet my average is 94-95 but then i tried the matrix one on the computer and it gave me 89...and talent 100 gave me 88? Any thoughts which would be most accurate? im shitting it so bad atm lol

ATAR Calculator 2012 - 88.35
Matrix - 86.80
Talent 100 - 88.35
Dux College - 88.65

My actual ATAR was 88.85 so Dux College was the closest.

Matrix - 99.05
ATAR calculator 2014 - 99.10
Talent100 - 99.25
Dux College - 99.30

My actual ATAR was 99.35, so again Dux College

[futuremidwife]

Matrix - 86.4
Talent 100 - 88.8
Dux College - 85.55
ATAR Calculator.com - 86.4

ACTUAL ATAR: 86.25
Matrix and ATAR Calculator.com were the most accurate
Dont trust talent 100, they give way too high estimates!

 

[Talia95]

I wouldn't even try using those things. If I'd done it for mine I'd have been really disappointed because yeah, some do over-inflate. Just my personal opinion, but I don't think that's the best way to find out your ATAR. I'm glad I waited for the 'real' one.

 

[Erique]

Matrix: 96.5~ ish
talent100: 99.6
duxcollege: 99.75

Actual: 99.85

Duxcollege was the closest but yeah it jumped, weirdly enough. Maybe exams were harder this year?

 

[rumbleroar]

Never trusting a calculator ever again lol
They were off by 0.15-0.25

 

[Swaan]

Talent 100: <83
Matrix: <83
Atar calc: <83

Dux College: 88

Actual ATAR: 88

Dux college mvp

Compared to actual
atar calculator.com: 0.30 under
matrix: 0.20 under
talent: 0.10 under
dux: 0.05 under

I owe my higher-than-expected ATAR to this year's favourable scaling for English Extensions 1 and 2. With English Extension 2, it seems I got about an extra 1.6 aggregate points compared to what I would have gotten with the same mark last year. And all of these calculators were suggesting that my 3U maths would count over my 4U english. Not the case.

 

[cbartowski]

Talent 100 - 91.35
Matrix - 91.9
Einstein - 90.85
Dux College: 93.2
atarcalculator .com - 90.85

Actual ATAR: 92.6 so i guess Dux College was the closest.

Actual ATAR: 98.3

ATAR calculators y u do dis?

 

[dan964]

depends. if the courses I.e. exams are of consistent difficulty then an Atar calculator gives a good estimate but if for example the exam was harder then more scaling

 

[dan964]

atar calculator.com - 93.70
Dux college - 95.6
