How to calculate your ATAR from trial/past paper marks (1 Viewer)

[not the kevin]

hi, carrots, which subject has similar scaling as Japanese beginner? so i can put my trial marking into the calculator to see the prediction of my atar! thx!

I just checked and while there isn’t any alignment data for Japanese beginners so I can’t say with certainty, it should be approximately similar to PDHPE, which if I had to guess would have slightly worse alignment but it does have slightly better scaling so it should cancel out

if i'm ranked first at a terribly performing school, my assessment mark should just be very similar to my exam mark right? (assuming I get the highest exam mark)

Your exam mark and school assessment mark will be identical in that case, so this calculator should be quite accurate as long as the raw marks themselves are accurate

the atar it gives me seems a bit high.

if you’re using it correctly (ie with a paper marked fairly and that is similar to last years hsc in difficulty) then it’ll be accurate

take about 10 atar points off and it should be about right

How does raw 70s give an atar close to the 90s

so you need a combination of 50s and 60s to get an atar of 80?

don’t ask me, ask nesa - scaling is just good

if you want to verify yourself try finding raw marks on https://rawmarks.info and then entering their aligned equivalent into ATAR compass and compare to the result you get by putting those raw marks into my calculator

depends a lot on the subjects, with something like mx2 60s would be way above and beyond 80 but for other subjects not so much

it’s good they have something to fall back on !

not everyone can get 70s in their hsc and get a 90+ atar! /lh /j

no im a pure city slicker who’s never seen a cow before

What’s your favourite part about farming!

me personally ive never been on a farm so I wouldn’t know anything about the really cute potty lambs. they would be my favourite part if I was a farmer though but luckily I’m just a city slicker
