ENTER / ATAR calculator (estimator)

[barg6785]

Hey guys,
just wondering, if my all year SAC average for methods is 72, is that bad if i want to get a raw score of 35? I  obviously haven't done the exam yet, but what grade would i need to get in the high 30's range??
Thanks

barg6785, you should post a separate topic to ask that

I updated the ATAR calculator and rewrote all the JavaScript today. It should load a bit quicker now. You might need to force refresh (Ctrl+F5) if things aren't working properly. Please let me know if you encounter any bugs or "weirdness" though. The old version is still up (for now) at http://atarcalc.com/v4/ if you find any bugs with the new one.

Looking good, plus we don't have to tab as much to enter the values in.

Using the computer, it works fine.

I tested it out on a mobile phone browser (Opera Mini 5.0). Selecting subjects and entering subjects works fine, but nothing is calculated.
I don't really ever intend to use it on a mobile phone. Does this backend rewrite have anything to do with the mobile phone version of the calculator that you posted about recently?

Works fine on the iPhone, a lot faster I might add

(btw, you'll have to redesign the extension studies next year as they are changing...)

I'm surprised that selecting subjects works well on Opera Mini, as I didn't think it'd even get that far. I don't think it works in Opera Mobile at all - The autocomplete box doesn't work properly (it's not designed for use on phones).

And yeah, I was rewriting some bits so I can reuse them when I get around to making a mobile site. Probably won't have time to do that for a while, though. I think most people would just use the site on their computers anyways

Ooh, that's nice to know! I don't have an iPhone so I couldn't test it myself.
How usable is the site on an iPhone? Are there any major problems?

Thanks for letting me know - Do you have any more information on the changes?

Works on IE, which it didn't seem to for me before

http://www.vtac.edu.au/pdf/publications/bulletins/bulletin1-11.pdf - the second page has the new scoring system, just a couple of different numbers, that's all

And yeah, the iPhone renders the webpage fine, the "next" (tab) button works fine when entering in scores, and subjects are easily searchable and selectable

Hey i was just having a play around on the new version and the scaling for spesh is too much now. I'm not sure about other subjects

[Daniel15]

The scaling hasn't changed... All the data is identical. Are you seeing different results in the new version compared to the old one?

Hey guys, sorry to bump an ancient thread, however, I was just talking to Daniel15 (as my signature would indicate is quite easy for me to do), and at the end of the year I may be helping out with an interface redesign

If anyone has any fresh suggestions, that'd be cool
Going to make this thing functionable AND nice to look at.

1. If you can, ask him if he can implement this: GA SCORE ESTIMATOR / STUDY SCORE ESTIMATOR (basically estimates your study score based on you sac and exam marks)

2. Make it more comforting. So people don't feel as bad when the calculator doesn't give them the ATAR they want.

So there's no actual interface or script for that part that anyone else has done? I think he'd like the challenge once uni is over. :3
I actually think that'd be easily and smoothly incorperateable.

And sure, that's definitely manageable

I think Paulsterio was planning on putting together a script for GA/SS estimation (Re: GA SCORE ESTIMATOR / STUDY SCORE ESTIMATOR)

[Cinnah]

I see, I see. I didn't actually read the whole thread. But I will send this to him once his finals are over

Maybe he can work something out with this other guy.
