Does Year 7 affect ATAR?

ATAR stands for Australian Tertiary Admissions Rank. It is a number between zero and 99.95 that tells you where you rank in your year group. Your result should not be seen as an ATAR score, but rather your percentile position out of all students who started Year 7 with you.

How hard is it to get a good Atar?

So you need marks 80 and above to rank decently, if you get high 80’s you will go well, but then again if you get over 85\% in every subject, you’re almost guranteed to get a good ATAR regardless, unless everyone doing all your subjects magically gets 90+ this year. It’s fairly easy if you at least half-try.

What is the Atar and how is it calculated?

The ATAR is calculated by VTAC based on up to six VCE scaled study scores. Study scores are scaled up or down by VTAC according to the performance of students in a study in a particular year – which means scores change each year, making ATARs difficult to predict. The ATAR is calculated…

However, it would depend on your subjects and their weighting. I got an ATAR of 97.5 doing Physics, Maths B (not sure what other states equivalent are), English, IPT, Graphics and Study of Society. I got 3As, 2B+s and 1B. The median ATAR is around 70, so 80 isn’t that much of a stretch.
