ENTER / ATAR calculator (estimator)

[melanie.dee]

mine estimated .3 above as well, the scaling and aggregates vary from year to year so its impossible to get a completely accurate score. damn i wish i had that extra .3 tho.. actually even an extra point .05 instead of my stupid .95 ending enter gaaaar

Ok I put mine in, and it said -
aggregate:201.2
enter:less than 30


but the aggregate was fairly accurate, my real aggregate was 201.9

[phagist_]

It gave;

Aggregate: 187.9
ENTER: 98.30

When really I got

Aggregate: 188.0
ENTER: 98.20

Pretty damn close.

It got the ENTER right for me and the aggregate was 0.7 lower than what I really got. That's pretty damn good

Even though it's using last year's scaling for 5/7 of them, the ones that went up canceled the one that went down and it gave me the right aggregate

Ok so anyone know why mine didn't work?
*looking at you daniel15*

Woo, glad it works properly. 
I'll update the data with the latest scaling report soon.

Gah, that's a bug I think:P
Basically, I grabbed all the values on the aggregate to ENTER chart, put them into a database table, and then look up the aggregate in it. There seems to be some values missing, and I guess that's one of them (only some values are missing, so an aggregate of 201.8 or 202.0 would have given the correct results ). I need to look for what's missing and insert them into the database
Hopefully, this year's aggregate to ENTER table is more complete  :knuppel2:
Otherwise, I should probably have a better fix, detect any missing values or something.

Mine was probably the worst possible - The clearly-in ENTER for Computer Science at Melbourne Uni is 85, and they don't let anyone do the course if they got an ENTER lower than that. I got 84.95.
That's not so bad; I hear the course at Swinburne is better (and their English score requirement is 20, as opposed to 25 at Melbourne Uni). But I swear, Melbourne Uni want to tease me. To get to Swinburne from here, I need to catch a tram to Flinders Street Station and then a train to wherever Swinburne is. The tram goes past Melbourne Uni along the way, so I'll be seeing it every time I go to Uni.

question: when do they release the 2007 stats for viewing?

[Eriny]

They have released the 2007 scaling report, there's a link around the forum somewhere...

For easier reference (instead of arbitrary searching the forums): this year's Scaling report is at: http://www.vtac.edu.au/pdf/scaling_report.pdf
the aggregate to ENTER tables for this year are here: http://www.vtac.edu.au/pdf/aggregate-ENTER.pdf

When do the examiner reports come out?

[Eriny]

Not until next year, around April from memory.

So, for those who don't want to trough through 6 pages of threads...has the calculator been updated with the 2007 scaling data?
(and subject names in case of IT)?

[Daniel15]

Excalibur, not yet.

I'll update the data with the latest scaling report soon.

I had a suggestion. I guess it would make your ENTER calculator similar to the one on *that site* but I was thinking that when you update the data, you could still calculate 2006 aggregates/ENTER as well as the 2007 one and then show an average of both. I don't know, it might be unecessary.
