ENTER / ATAR calculator (estimator)

[bomb]

Same, I'm getting 95.85, scaling seems out. Getting the wrong aggregate.

[EvangelionZeta]

I haven't checked yet, but note that the scaling for the calculator isn't exact, so there may be small errors whilst using it.

[bomb]

Oh yeah, good poin. The scaling report only shows SS in increments of 5 :\

[Slumdawg]

wow I was shocked to see that my atar was the exact same as the calc one for 2010! Even the aggregate was identical. I think cos my english score was marked down more harshly than vcaa actually did, while my bus man one wasn't marked down as much as it should have been so it evened itself out. I'm impressed!

ATAR calc = the best.

edit: the new data seems to be wrong... I get 97.7 with my study scores I dont think you have updated the scaling yet.

How wrong is it? The scaling report only lists the study scores in increments of 5, so it's just an estimate. The aggregate to ATAR calculation should be correct, though (VTAC release full data for it)

Here's the data I use:

Hmm yeh I was comparing the site to my actual scaled scores...

Bio 46 site: 46.8 actual 46.94
Chem 42 site: 45.6 actual 45.88
Methods 37 site: 42.6 actual 42. 92
English 41 site 40.2 actual 40.59

All my subjects were scaled a bit more in my actual one. It doesnt really matter anyway its good enough for those in 2011!

I was just wondering if it was technically possible to insert a subject:

"VET: Block Credit Recognition" such as Allied Health.

This means there is no Study Score and the technical input you'll have to put into the calculator is an average of the primary 4 scaled and then divide that by 4 and then by 10 (10%) as it's an increment.

For further clarification: a person inputs 40 raw, 45 raw, 45 raw, 45 raw.

The scaled scores will be (hypothetically) 45,50,50,50 and that is a total aggregate of 195. Average is 48.75. 10% of that is 4.875.

Is that possible? Atm I can't calculate a predicted ATAR, that's all.

Oh and also Uni Enhancemnt increments are stopping from 2012 and turning into what I just said (avg of primary 4 scared) so you might want to get rid of the increment function at the end of this year. Instead of saying VET: Block Credit Recognition you could just say "Alternate subject" to include both VET and Uni as that's calculated the same way...

Is that too confusing?

[m@tty]

average of the primary 4 scaled and then divide that by 4 and then by 10 (10%) as it's an increment.

If you take an average you won't need to divide by 4

But yeah, this could be done..

You can just manually add it to your aggregate and then look up the aggregate table.

[iNerd]

Haha true /math fail.

Who can be bothered though...lazy :buck2:

[andy456]

Just ignore your VET and get a nice suprise on results day.
It feels good when you get higher than what you predicted

I dont know if any of you already pointed it out, but the atar calculator as an error. According to Vcaa, you can only have two mathematics subjects in your top 4. The atar calculator makes it possible to include 3 maths subjects in your top 4. For me it puts english, Methods, Specialist and then Further, leaving Turkish and Physics last.

Would be good if it can be fixed please

[baijid.a]

Excel does not work on open office for me as well :tickedoff:.

Their is already a good Atar calculator on the net, but if you are bored at home, than it wouldn't hurt to do another one? :coolsmiley:

[pi]

lol, just found out this calc is made by a guy from VN (former admin?). NICE!

Yeah there's still some issues I haven't had time to fix. I'm considering making it open-source so other people can fix the various problems at times when I don't have the time to.

Yeah. I've had people come up to me in real life and ask me if I was the guy that made the ATAR calculator. O.o

Good work on it by the way. Your tool will keep VCE Yr 12s pondering their future for many years to come.
