My estimates are ranging from 94.9-96.4 :/ I need a 95.9 for my course so fingers crossed!!
How sure are you on law at macq? Very limited opportunities if you do plan to pursue a career in law. Most of the grad jobs get snapped up by unsw/usyd, and a small minority to uts.

Yeah hence the science as well, I'm not sure which path to pursue at the moment so I'm doing a double degree

I wouldn't even try using those things. If I'd done it for mine I'd have been really disappointed because yeah, some do over-inflate. Just my personal opinion, but I don't think that's the best way to find out your ATAR. I'm glad I waited for the 'real' one.

Compared to actual
atar calculator.com: 0.30 under
matrix: 0.20 under
talent: 0.10 under
dux: 0.05 under

I owe my higher-than-expected ATAR to this year's favourable scaling for English Extensions 1 and 2. With English Extension 2, it seems I got about an extra 1.6 aggregate points compared to what I would have gotten with the same mark last year. And all of these calculators were suggesting that my 3U maths would count over my 4U english. Not the case.

depends. if the courses I.e. exams are of consistent difficulty then an Atar calculator gives a good estimate but if for example the exam was harder then more scaling
