The ATAR is a ranking based on an aggregate of scaled marks in ten Units of Board-Developed Courses comprising the best two units of English, and the best eight units from the remaining units.
The ATAR is calculated by the Universities Admission Centre and is given as a number between 30 and 100. The calculation is based on a composite of both the examination and assessment marks. The ATAR is not included on the Higher School Certificate or Record of Achievement itself but will be available to students on a separate document. The ATAR is used by most of the Tertiary Institutions for their entry requirements.
