ENTER / ATAR calculator (estimator)

[bilgia]

awesome man thanks

[reg]

Nice job: now to integrate it into the FSN site plz :p (easy enough to copy the client and keep usin''  your backend).

[asa.hoshi]

does this enter calc include restrictions?

i.e. you cannot have Mathematical Methods and Mathematical CAS in your top 6 subjects. Or something like... you cannot have 3 maths (further, methods, spesh) in your primary 4.

Thanks guys, glad you like it!

Lolz, there isn't really a FSN "site" yet
But yeah, if the site's ever up, I guess it could be integrated into the site.... Maybe. I'll keep it separate for now, makes it easier for me while I'm still working on it

Not yet (mainly because it's only a prototype and not fully finished at the moment, and also I don't know all the restrictions).
What are the full list of restrictions? Is this available somewhere? I didn't know of the three maths one.

Also, you need to make sure English Language/Literature are counted as English Requirement, my friend got a 10% contribution for lit on ur calc lol.

English language worked as a primary 4 for me on it (even though it ends up being my lowest score)

It is looking rather awesome I must say, great job!!! =D

Oops
Indeed, I count English courses as the English requirement:

Code: [Select]

// The English courses.
$ID_ENGLISH = array(12, 13, 14); // English, ESL, Eng. Language.
I included English, ESL, and English Language as English courses, but missed Literature
Fixed now

It is looking rather awesome I must say, great job!!! =D

Thanks
I've still got to clean it up... It's kinda ugly at the moment (I haven't applied any formatting to the results table). Also, I'm trying to think of a better way of entering the subjects in (as scrolling to find them in a long list is not fun). I'm thinking some sort of autocomplete thing where you start typing in the subject, and it finds the closest match. Something line that.;

problems:

- calculator includes all Englishes as part of the 'english requirement', instead of choosing the best one

- calculator calculated 7 of my subjects to find my aggregate

- calculator included 2 Englishes and 3 other subjects as primary 4

I had English and 3 other subjects in my top 4, then I added English (ESL) in my subject list (probably a non-allowed subject combination.. or a redundant one anyway), and I ended up with 5 subjects counting 100%.

I got an aggregate of 240.1, 99.95

i had all 3 englishes and got like 280 aggregate

Also, the UMEP increment would be really nice (it makes a difference, or at least, I hope it does or else I've wasted a year of hard work)

You can enter negative study scores

Aggregate: -56.8
ENTER: Less than 30

The second and third problems are related to the first one.  Basically, when it loops through all the chosen subjects, if it's an English subject, it adds it straight on to the aggregate. Otherwise, it puts it somewhere else for sorting. The problem is I didn't limit it to one English subject, so it's adding all of them to the aggregate. I'll work on fixing this as soon as I can

Will do

Well, I don't have any validation at the moment (apart from basic data validation - Checking that inputs are numeric), I'm relying on smart end-users . Any programmer will tell you this is not a good idea, but I was kinda lazy

But yeah, all the problems will be fixed when I have time to fix them =]

Should both be fixed now
I'll fix the other reported problems sometime soon.

Oh, and if any programmers are interested in random statistics and/or changelogs: http://entercalc.us.to/svnstats/index.html

Sweet, do you intend on making this open-source? I'm interested in how you derived scaled study scores for those that aren't listed on the Scaling Report (e.g. 33, 27, etc.)
