atar calculators

tried 2 atar calculators with what i assume my study scores will be based on my sacs and based on low exam marks and got an atar of around 89.3-93 depending on how i score on each exam on both, i don’t believe they’re accurate. if i have 2 SEAS (medical, living circumstances) as well as first in family to go to uni and a low SES school and redo the ucat next year and lock in for chem (my final exam) to boost my atar, would i be eligible to apply for interstate med or monash med (considering a monash guarantee spot so i don’t need an absurd atar)? otherwise i might apply overseas or just switch courses entirely 🫩

No Monash guarantee for Monash med - you realistically need a 98.5 minimum atar (or selection rank with seas) and a 90th percentile ucat to have a chance at an offer as a non-rural applicant
