Six subjects. A wall of SAC dates. Notes you meant to revisit. And a phone that keeps winning. Chill ATAR brings your plan, revision and focus into one place, with a panda to keep you company along the way. ATAR, without the panic. CONNECT YOUR SCHOOL Bring your timetable, SACs and everyday commitments together. Chill ATAR fits study around the time you actually have and gives you a clear next step. Connect a supported school portal, import a calendar or CSV, paste your dates, or add them yourself. Connections include SEQTA, Compass, Sentral, Daymap, Canvas, Google Classroom, Schoolbox and Moodle. Review what the app finds before adding it to your plan; available information depends on your school's setup. FOCUS WITH PANDA Choose a timer, Motion Lock or Phone Jail for your focus session. Pick distracting apps to shield through Apple's Screen Time, including the option to block them only while you study. Eligible verified sessions can earn app time back. You choose the apps and can end a session early. Panda grows as you study. Earn Study Credits, unlock outfits and make Panda's space your own. Small sessions count. MAKE IT STICK Create your own cards, import a deck or practise with original VCE-aligned questions. Choose Smart, Due, New or Full Deck practice, with multiple choice, typing and flashcards where supported. Keep track of what you remember, revisit the tricky cards and use the Mistake Bank to work on recurring errors. Your material in. Useful practice out. NOTES YOU'LL ACTUALLY USE Write by hand in Chill Notes, type, add photos or bring in existing pages. Keep your material organised by subject and turn it into study cards. Ask for AI explanations, hints or feedback when you need another angle. Photo help and full page checks can work with the material you choose to send. AI features have usage limits. SEE THE BUSY WEEKS COMING View the next eight weeks in the pressure map. Spot assessment pile-ups early, then use a focused rescue session to tackle one useful task when it all feels like too much. AN ATAR ESTIMATE WITH CONTEXT Explore possible outcomes using published VTAC scaling data, with the report year and estimated range shown. It's a planning tool, not a prediction of your final result. BUILT FOR VCE VCE curriculum content draws on VCAA study designs. Built-in practice questions are original Chill ATAR material.
