Hey, I was just wondering what it means by grade range.. with the UPPER and LOWER? :|
 I'm so confused?  :o

I think you're thinking about some other calculator. This one doesn't have a "range".

Today I updated the ATAR Calculator to use the latest (2011) scaling data :)

I feel cheated! It's saying I got an ATAR of 99.10 instead of 99.15! :'(

Why does the atar calc say i should have recieved a 36 with my 35 for revs. When on my atar my 35 got scaled to 35.51?

Yeah I'm getting similar results. ATAR calc says 85.8 when in fact I scored 85.7

I'm guessing since the scaling report only gives scaling in the blocks of five, i.e. 25 30 35 40 45 50, that everything is approximated. Putting in my results, my atar is calculated to be 98.00, I got 97.75. Daniel15 can't make it spot on (give him a break), plus its close enough.

yeh nah, i always thought for some reason in the scaling report for revs a 35>36, not 35.51

Haha I was only joking, I can't thank Daniel15 enough for the creation of ATARcalc, although I probably spent more time on it than I did  studying

Today I updated the ATAR Calculator to use the latest (2011) scaling data :)
Good stuff man, the proposed aggregate for the addition of my study scores was only off by 0.4 compared to my actual, which is quite minute.

Now I'll spend hours plugging in numbers to see what could've been just like I did before hand on what could be ;)

Yeah, it gives just those values (25 to 50 in increments of 5) so it'll be off by a bit.

I think this has probably been raised before, so ignore this if it has, but is there any way to somehow incorporate the VCAA restrictions on the number of subjects in the primary 4?

Such as you can still have mthods, spesh and further in the primary 4 in the current program, which is not allowed by VCAA.

Hey Daniel, I think the spesh scaling might be a little off for 2011. 40 scaled to 50.6 last year, not 51 (for example) :)

Look a few posts up Vegit :P

40 ---> 51 is the value given in the VTAC scaling report for spesh.
