How does an ATAR calculator work?
The ATAR calculation changes every year because it uses the marks of every student in the state in every subject they took as part of the calculation of your ATAR. The ATAR calculators don’t have access to that information. All they can do is estimate using the data that has been made public from the previous year.”
Is 75 a good ATAR score?
An ATAR is a rank given in increments of 0.05 between 0.0 and 99.95, meaning that a score of 75 puts you in the top 25 per cent of your state. This rank provides an easy method of comparison for institutions when selecting students for course entry.
What is a good average ATAR?
The average ATAR is usually around 70.00. If every school student went on to achieve an ATAR, the average ATAR would be 50.00. But because some students leave school early and the ones who stay on to receive an ATAR are a smaller, more academically able group, the average ATAR is higher.
What is the lowest ATAR score?
30.00
The ATAR is a number from 0 and 99.95 in intervals of 0.05. The highest rank is 99.95, the next highest 99.90, and so on. The lowest automatically reported rank is 30.00, with ranks below 30.00 being reported as ‘less than 30’. Find out more about how ATARs are calculated.
How accurate are ATAR calculators?
ATAR calculators are most accurate when you punch in your scaled marks – which you only get in December anyway – and even then, the accuracy of the calculation is limited by the old data that they use. Because of this, the figure you get from them should never be treated as a certain fact.

How are schools predicted ATAR?
The most accurate way is to ask your school’s Director of Studies what someone with your current rank scored last year. Otherwise, you may need to ‘guesstimate’ – for instance if you are average in 4 Unit Maths, and your school is about the stat average, then you would need to be in the top 50\%.

How is the Atar 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.
