uac gave me 93.7 while carrots's one gave me 94.2, i got 93

did u use the uac calculator in 2023 and did u only do hsc exams in 2023?

yep

So quite accurate, right?

very inaccurate. UAC compass is such a shit calculator, it even overestimates english advanced by a lot since it's using shitty approximations, rather than their full dataset (why?).

this calculator https://atarestimator.streamlit.app/ is much more accurate

yeah can confirm from testing it's pretty garbage, its really weird because you'd think they'd use the proper conversions data they have, but as far as i can tell they use the same public scaling tables as everyone else. its still better than matrix though lol, and this one i found that literally just averages your marks https://www.allcalchub.com/calculators/australian-grade-calculator-hsc-atar-calculator/

that streamlit one looks decent, checked it against some conversions from the updated calculator im working on and it gave similar results

 

[Study to success]

no thats not possible

Don’t mind me reading old posts lol. I’m gonna do this. If I am unable to survive year 12 without drinking coffee at least once then you’ve got to give me a dare to do at the end of the hsc

Like has anyone completed the HSC without taking any caffeine?

I have

 

[f7eeting]

I have

woah i'm doing nearly the same subjects you did and i want to study mechanical engineering at UNSW

physics is kicking my ass

 

[f7eeting]

physics is kicking my ass

thats what i was scared of too lol but its good to know i wont be the only one

yeah even people that did hsc physics are getting destroyed

 

[Shavi Masee]

yeah even people that did hsc physics are getting destroyed

How abt people who only did math adv?

 

[xoNat]

How abt people who only did math adv?

know of a few people, they were alright
tbh, math 1a and 1b were chill and done in a super friendly format (could get 50/100 pre exam, no hurdles)

This is quite late, but for the calculator you linked are we supposed to add in raw marks or aligned marks in the "Estimated HSC" column?

Does anyone know?

what do we define as caffeine anyways...does soft drink count? does iced tea count?

I was thinking coffee and maybe energy drinks. But yeah soft drinks do have caffeine but not as much tho

oh then I guess once HSC is finished it'll be me bc I hate coffee and I've never tried energy drinks

 

[Study to success]

But yeah who thinks I can survive the whole of year 12 without coffee. If I can’t someone give me a dare that I have to do
