Well, ATARCalc works 2 ways. It boosts your confidence but also depresses you more when you find out your expectation is too high.
brotip #1849: don't let a bad grade define who you are or what you will become.

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!

IN A HYPOTHETICAL WORLD YOU'D STILL WANT A VCE!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Problem with AtarCalc is that you end up doing best case scenarios and worst case scenarios and the range for a lot of people can be quite wide, so you end up more anxious than ever :)

Atar Calc is the stuff and fluff!!!
I use it as a goal setter but sometimes I get depressed because it's hard when you know you have to do well like super good A+ averages and stuffs.
Then you become confident because you reckon its not that hard to get 'as long as you study'
Oh man...
Atarcalc provides a spectrum of confidence and depression and my spectrum keeps spinning around like those rainbow coloured wheels.

Yeah, I must admit, I am guilty of spending hours on the darn thing.....Whilst it boosts my confidence, I simultaneously think "why am I doing this? It ain't gonna change a thing!"

I go on it thinking it'll boost my confidence, but gradually I lose the little confidence I began with as I realize that it's too damn difficult to achieve a decent score, especially considering that I lack drive or motivation.

Seriously don't understand how people find the will to continue. :P
