ATAR calculator - Beta testing

[Daniel15]

Hi everyone,
 Recently I started rewriting the code behind the ATAR calculator, to make it possible to fix some of the long standing issues with calculation. I was wondering if people could beta test what I've done so far so I know that it's all good before starting to fix other things. I'd like to have a group of people willing to test out changes before I push them to the live site. I do have some automated tests that I run but I can't catch everything (and I've broken things in Internet Explorer many times in the past).

Here's the URL: http://beta.atarcalc.com/

Essentially it should work exactly the same as the current live site. Let me know if you find any bugs or if you find it performing slower than the current site. In theory it should be a little bit faster (probably not noticeable though)

Plugged a couple of scores into the site, performing fine for me at least, probably a bit better

Will play around with it more tomorrow

Good work

[TrueTears]

Works perfectly fine, although is there a way you can make it so you cannot have 3 maths subjects in your primary 4? because at the moment you can and it would be good to fix that from the previous atarcalc.

^Same with three languages.

Also, a few subjects have different names now. International Studies - Global Politics, National Politics - Australian Politics, Classical Societies and Cultures - Classical Studies, etc. Not really a beta thing but I thought I'd point that out.

Thanks everyone, I've pushed the updated site out to live today. Keeping the old one handy in case I need to roll it back for some reason

Yeah, this is on the list of stuff I need to fix

Also, a few subjects have different names now. International Studies - Global Politics, National Politics - Australian Politics, Classical Societies and Cultures - Classical Studies, etc.

The names in the ATAR Calculator are based off the scaling report from 2011. Have these subjects changed name since then?

Can you try this on http://beta.atarcalc.com/ and let me know whether it's fixed?

Yep, looks good now

Possible to do something similar for LOTEs too?

[jmosh002]

Yep, the restriction of 2 maths in top 4 works now.

Yeh thanks for that, be able to get a more accurate estimate now, Cheers!
