Pretty accurate assuming you're putting in your HSC Mark and not raw marks.

Looking around the forum from the previous years, the most SAM has been off was by 4 points.

If your HSC dates 2007, why are you using SAM?

SAM is not very accurate. In my opinion, the Einstein one is the most accurate. It's 2007 one and on top of that, it is very similar to the way the scaling report outlines its scaling.
