Class of 2011: ATAR and SS Discussion Thread

[mr.politiks]

Thanks man!  Congrats to you as well, and I'm sure you can get into Monash MBBS with those scores!
PS - AWESOME UMAT score man, should have got tips from you earlier! 

[thushan]

Oh and on another note, my friend from school did 5 subjects this year, got 5 50s this year. Total 6 50s. O.O!!!!!

that's an amazing conversion rate, like wow! 100% conversion rate for subjects:fifties

Heheh 6/7 actually

[funkyducky]

To everyone who believes that intelligence is not genetic, I think I have found proof in these two guys! Well done to both of you though

But yeah I know, English is really shifty, but it holds so much weight, in retrospect, English Language would have been the better choice

If they had EngLang at my school.... *sigh* maybe I shouldn't have dropped Literature and done that for my 3/4  instead of English :S

paulsterio, so your not that happy with ur score?

No problems, you'll probably get into Monash MBBS as well, you'll get an interview cause of the 99.95 anyway
Thanks though the UMAT is probably the only reason I am hoping to get into medicine, it'd probably be really competitive ATAR-wise if it weren't for the UMAT D:

Heheh 6/7 actually

He should disown that 7th subject =.="
Perfectionism at its very best

paulsterio, so your not that happy with ur score?

i'm happy with it, but I did a little better than I expected in most subjects and little bit worse than I expected in English, so it balances out, I still think English is unfair :S

also 2011 aggregate table is out
http://www.vtac.edu.au/pdf/aggregate-ATAR.pdf

Wow, that was quick! In past years, it seems to have taken a while for the aggregate table and scaling reports to be released. I'll have to update the ATAR Calculator soon

[brightsky]

spesh and chink scaling was so good. hopefully such goodness continues.

[s...]

spesh: defs. teachers don't want Australia to 'dumb down', to use my Methods teacher's words.

Chink: dodgy. Few years back, I believe 41 scaled to 50+. 
Last year, not so much.
strange things happen, I suppose.

Any chance of incorporating an SS estimator into it?

Also, aggregate for 99.95 is 210.8. If you got 6 50s, your total aggregate is 210.

Specalist Maths fucked the system, haha.

EDIT: btw, congratulations everyone!
