School ATAR estimation clarification (1 Viewer)

So for applying for UNSW medicine, schools send in estimated ATARS after trials right?
But how do they esimate your atar? If you're first in a subject, do they estimate using your relative marks to the cohort?

I guess different schools would estimate differently. (Some schools have dodgy estimates.) One method could be to use statistical methods to see what ATAR someone with your marks from last year's cohort would get (or averaged over several previous cohorts).
