Frequently asked questions
What is My ATAR Coach?
My ATAR Coach is an AI-powered study app for Australian senior secondary students working towards their ATAR. It covers the VCE, HSC and QCE curricula with flashcards on a spaced-repetition schedule, timed exam-condition practice, and written answers marked against the real assessment criteria.
Which curricula and states does it cover?
Three senior secondary certificates: the VCE in Victoria (VCAA), the HSC in New South Wales (NESA) and the QCE in Queensland (QCAA). You choose your curriculum first, then your subjects, and every question, flashcard and marking rubric follows that curriculum's study design or syllabus.
Which VCE subjects are included?
English, English Language, English Literature, Mathematical Methods, General Mathematics, Specialist Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Psychology, Environmental Science, Business Management, Accounting, Economics, Legal Studies, History: Revolutions, Geography, Physical Education, Health & Human Development, Outdoor & Environmental Studies, Systems Engineering, Software Development, Visual Communication Design, Media, Theatre Studies, Music Performance, Visual Art, Politics.
Which HSC subjects are included?
English Advanced, English Standard, Mathematics Advanced, Mathematics Extension 1, Mathematics Standard 2, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Modern History, Business Studies, Economics, Legal Studies, PDHPE, Software Design & Development.
Which QCE subjects are included?
English, Essential English, Literature, General Mathematics, Mathematical Methods, Specialist Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Psychology, Marine Science, Business, Accounting, Economics, Legal Studies, Modern History, Geography, Physical Education, Digital Solutions, Visual Art.
Does it cover Units 1, 2, 3 and 4?
Yes. Content is mapped to the unit structure of each curriculum - VCE Units 1-4, HSC Preliminary and HSC Year 12 courses, and QCE Units 1-4 - so you can revise only the unit you are currently being assessed on.
How does the AI marking work?
You write an answer to a real-style exam question and the AI marks it as an experienced VCAA, NESA or QCAA marker would: a mark out of the available marks, what the marker was looking for, what your answer was missing, and how to lift the response a band.
Will this help my ATAR or study score?
The app cannot promise an ATAR. What it does is target the things that move marks: recalling content reliably through spaced repetition, answering under time pressure, using command terms correctly, and turning every mistake into a card that comes back until you get it right.
Is there a free demo?
Yes. You can try flashcards and exam questions with no account and no login - open the app and choose the demo.
Can parents and tutors follow progress?
Yes. Parent and tutor accounts see study time, accuracy, confidence trends and progress reports for the students they follow.
