ATAR/Study Score Prediction...compare to actual on 16th :D

[Jdog]

I'll start (being somewhat conservative):
...
Based on ATARcalc: Aggregate = 201.6, ATAR 99.75...not bad, im happy with that!

/endthread.

you obviously haven't experienced the Thushan then. that is being conservative, his standards are just alot higher than yours and most others.

[paulsterio]

thushan, you're much better at english language than you think you are you're ranked 1st at scotch...like scotch, that's pretty pro

[frankish]

thats very great ppls... all 90+....
well
i m just hoping for a 75+ and get in Bmus Monash..
 
ESL : 32
Methods : 20... >.> will end up with like 10..
Music performance : 35
Further : very vague..  38+?
(Already done) Chinese Second Advanced: 26. very great for a chinese..

There's nothing wrong with having high expectations, just do it tactfully. There's not a problem with somebody stating they have particular goals, just please don't be obnoxious about it. Also, if you want to rant, there's a subforum for that. If you dislike the way someone acts, there's a PM system for that.

Now, can we go back to constructive chat?

Spot on Russ. Guys, just try to use your judgement before you post things like this, I personally think you should follow Acinod's posts as an example.

[thushan]

Ditto.

My two posts got deleted

I shall re-post so I have something to compare with in 2 weeks:

English - 40
Spesh - 45
Methods - 45
Chemistry - 45
Physics - 40
Chinese - 35

ATAR: 99.20

Back to main topic, I think we're all just typing into ATARCALC what our raw scores are and then reading the ATAR of 2010. Shouldn't we consider the insane scaling of Spesh this year?

for those who don't do spesh look at the 2007 atar score given on atar calc. For those who do spesh, the 2010 scores are no different to the 2007 scores.


Im fucking devastated by this silly spesh scaling.  for me last years 99.8 will be this years 99.5-6. so stupid.

Wow, that's interesting.. why are the 2007 stats relevant? :S

[paulsterio]

werdna, jdog was saying you have a slightly LOWER chance of getting a 90, because the higher spesh scaling pushes the aggregates up

[werdna]

Oh great :S

*just wants 2009 all over again*

*edit*

UNIVERSITY entry cut-offs for 2012 will fall, experts say, making it easier for students who have just finished year 12 to enrol in popular degrees.

Australian Tertiary Admission Ranks are expected to fall under a new system that allows universities to decide how many places they offer, based on the demand from students.

SAVE ME ... *goes back to bed*

I don't understand how atar ranks will fall in general. I know it will be harder for some to get high scores becuase of spesh, but i dont get how ATAR will fall all together because of universities.

[paulsterio]

Universities will be having more places, so lesser competition

[thushan]

They mean ATAR CUTOFFs not ATARs.

So like maybe if the ATAR cutoff to get into commerce at Monash was say 92 last year, this year the ATAR cutoff could drop to about 89-90 because there are more places available.

Don't fret!
