Title: 2011 AN Median/Average ATAR
Post by: Lasercookie on December 16, 2011, 10:33:53 am
I'm posting this now before someone else also starts work on it (it would be annoying to put the time into it and have someone else already have done it :P). Credit goes to b^3 who has done 99% of the work here.

2011 AN ATAR List

So the Median is currently sitting at 98.25. The average is fluctuating as more people post their ATAR's, but it currently 95.61. Median has now changed, check the document for the most up-to-date median and average.

It was 98.00 last year

Yay! I got the median ATAR :)
Sorry, not anymore :P
I went and added in the next few users who have posted, it's currently 98.00 (median) and 95.23 (average)

We'll probably have to wait a couple of days so everybody can post their ATAR's before we can settle on the median and average.

But it'd be an even more inaccurate and horribly skewed median/average without your data though :P

Woah the median and average is really astonishing (mind=blown).

I only heard one person has gotten 99.95 (first ever) in my school and i might try to persuade her someway into joining atarnotes if possible :).

Amazing median cohort of 2011 is amazing (two 'amazing' words).
what school is that?

It's not a school - it's the scores of the users of atarnotes.

Ah I see now, I assumed he was talking about the first and third line of abd's post (which referred to the median and average).

It's not really a ranking, it's just sorted by ATAR score and then alphabetical (or well it's meant to be alphabetical, the automatic filter thing screwed up a bit).

edit: I have now fixed the sort and it's now functioning as it should be.

You entered kwheattt (ATAR 94.30) twice which would have brought the median down.

I think this is a more accurate representation of AN's actual median. This is based on "active" or "regular" users (and contributors), defined by me to have 100 or more posts on their profile (I've added Aurelian and totaled, as they were not on the other list yet have 100+ posts):

Aurelian - 99.95
thushan - 99.95
illuminati - 99.90
Pixon - 99.90
totaled - 99.90
funkyducky - 99.85
BoredSaint - 99.75
Jdog - 99.70
paulsterio - 99.65
thatisanote - 99.65
jane1234 - 99.60
luken93 - 99.60
Andiio - 99.55
vea - 99.50
Romperait - 99.40
Acinod - 99.35
pi - 99.35
Menang - 99.15
Nirbaan - 99.15
cltf - 98.65
hala_madrid - 98.40
Tashi - 98.40
Hamdog17 - 98.30
Panicmode - 98.25
xdecay - 97.90
b^3 - 97.75
tony3272 - 97.75
lilaznkev1n - 97.45
mickeymouse - 97.45
ttn - 97.45
Chrisjb - 96.35
aes_999 - 95.85
swarley - 95.50
cranberry - 94.85
playsimme - 94.05
Furbob - 94.00
david10d - 93.05
madoscar65 - 92.90
werdna - 92.50
JarrydisBored - 91.10
Hodgeyhodgey - 90.65
kazdawg - 85.65
Ghost - 82.05
Deank - 76.15



..Which gives a median of 98.40, which is actually MORE than the previous median!

Nice work, pi. :D I was only going by the posts in the ATAR/SS Only thread and whatever PM's and stuff I got.

I think we might as well leave the median as it is now, seems that results discussion has slowed to a halt now.

Lol I was thinking this.
A public, non-selective school with a median ATAR of 98.30 and 6% of students scoring the maximum possible ATAR of 99.95 :)

As has been pointed out many times, the actual AN median is unfortunately nowhere near as high as that, there's a huge bias here

i purposely nuked my score with Russian missiles just to bring down the medium of an.

That's true, higher scorers are more likely to post their scores
