I do! I didn't do a 3/4 this year but I use it a lot, motivates me to do my holiday homework and go ahead of what's required so I can get my desired study scores :D

What generally happens with me is I put in what I think I'll get, but then gradually increase each study score by 1 thinking "yeah, I could totally get that". I then look at the ATAR and think "woot imma get an awesome score" which gives me confidence.

Although I then look back at the study scores and see English 42, which is followed by "LOL wtf I'm screwed" and I sulk around the house.

I used to religiously use it when in year 11, thinking "oh a 45 in this subject would be easily done"...but it sometimes doesn't happen that way. So I don't put it as my home screen anymore :P

in a hypothetical world, i would love to achieve one 50, however i am deadly realistic. atar calc gives me hope that i can still get in the high 80's. i check it almost every day as well!
what a year it has been, thank goodness it is over, bring on a new chapter!

Psychology- 46!
Theatre studies- 37
Biology- 35
English- 34
Further maths-33
ATAR-87.15 so pleased!

any questions related to Psychology or Theatre Studies please don't hesitate to ask :)

I do try to be realistic, when I'm bored, I'd set an ATAR like 95 or something and then adjust random subjects. So I'd say 'well chem is hard so I'll pop that down to 37 but I'll put further up to 44' or something ridiculous haha.

I thought I was crazy bookmarking it haha  :)
