lets say you've done all your SACS and you've done the GAT and all your SATS and just before exams you die. Would the assessors use the score from the GAT and still give you a ATAR?

Why would you need the ATAR? So you can practice Med on the Angels?

doom and gloom convo
Why would you need the ATAR?
first preference: heaven
In all seriousness: It'd be an interesting discussion point as to what happens when that occurs. Nobody who's tested this out can explain to us what happens but i'm sure there's a doc somewhere that explains it?

You probably wouldn’t - I’m pretty sure you have to apply to get a derived score?
You’d probably get one if you died after exams but before the atar release date though.
-
The real question is - Is your score still ranked alongside other students for the calculation of the ATAR? Or does everyone slide up one to take your place?
Oooooh

you are ranked alongisde anyone who started year 7 with you so that includes anyone who would dropout and deaths. That's why it's really hard to get a low ATAR since it's mainly people who didn't do anything and why the average ATAR is ~60-65.

I honestly don't know about the deaths one - Like, I know that it's everyone who started in your cohort and all of that stuff. But I wonder how they handle deaths, because technically that is a place taken up by someone who no longer exists?
Wow this is a gloomy discussion, aha

Would you have to prove to them that the reason you couldnt do the exam was because you died? Because what i'm thinking of is potentially faking your own death so you don't have to the exam and you get the ATAR afterwards

What use would your ATAR be though? All of the Universities would refuse you... Except maybe Transylvania....
You wouldn't exist...

Just to piss people off that a dead guy maybe got a higher ATAR than them

I'm not really sure how this would work given that ATAR is a ranking system which ends up affecting various things like scholarships etc. To be honest, it's really not an issue worth thinking about .

In response to the unnecessary sarcasm to people that have been in that situation, my school gave a VCE subject award (based on SAC scores) to a student that passed away slightly before the exams, her family collected the award. It was achievement still worth recognising even though someone died. Not saying that it's equivalent to receiving an ATAR since it affects things like scholarships which can deny people of one as a result (if hypothetically they got a 99.95 ATAR for example).

I'm not sure if you're serious, but that isn't a very great suggestion for many reasons :P
If you don't get the ATAR you want, you can just transfer...
That is all.

finally an answer, i guess we can lock this thread now :P

That insinuates that transferring from Count Dracula's Uni wasn't the answer? ??? :(

hmm idk someone dying doesn't change the fact that they started year 7 with that cohort. It is an empty atar but wouldn't really impact anyone else too significantly unless they got 99.9+ for those max scholarships.

I think this thread has run its course. 👍
