out of curiosity, which ATAR calculators are generally accepted as "most accurate" with what marks

and out of further curiosity, how are state ranks calculated? is it purely by raw mark in HSC or do internals matter? what marks SR for different subjects?
none of them are really accurate, but uac is the best. Its cuz the tests are different for each year and the cohort performance also varies. e.g. business actually scaled decently in 2023 but deteriorated in 2024.

business never scaled decently. Scaling for one subject actually pretty constant every year relative to other subjects

The offer is only given based off if ur year 11 marks were good enough for the course (you will be given the prep school if u dont qualify for any course). my mate got rejected from law (she got Cs and Bs at a Non gateway school) but instead got into criminology. This is more targeted towards students who have fewer opportunities, lack of funding and support. The fact u compared the average atar of 70 to a mystery mark gives it away that u clearly don't understand class/ financial differences and the whole basis of gateway being equity. Your complaint feels like a projection that u fear not getting into ur course due to a "retard" taking ur place. It's honestly a shame people believe UNSW is lowering their standards when they're actually helping disadvantaged people.
This! The reason why Gateway has changed my life is because they provide finantial support. There is no uni near me within 90km, and the lack of teachers at my school has meant that I have had basically self-study most of the year.

they are legit increasing the atar cut off by atleast 2 points. That is not a miniscule amount. To add more salt to the wound, It's unfair for everyone else when someone with gateway can get in with 70 or even a mystery atar into unsw (for unconditional). If someone achieves a mystery atar, they were genetically cooked (retarded) from the beginning and their intelligence wasn't capped just cause they lived in mount druitt.
You don't get it, do you? Some people live in genuine poverty, have to have a job to support their families, lack of opportunities. Gateway allows kids like me to be considered in proprtion to our disadvantaged circumstances, and provide us with the life-cahnging oppurtunity of bring able to attend uni.
