Here's how it works:
You need at least four Unit 3–4 subject scores, including one English study, to receive an ATAR.
VTAC scales your VCE study scores to account for cohort strength across subjects.
Your ATAR aggregate is the sum of your best four scaled scores (the “primary four”) plus 10% of up to two additional studies.
The ATAR is a percentile ranking from 0.00 to 99.95 that compares you with all students of your age group in Victoria.
A study score is out of 50 and shows how you performed in a subject compared with other students in that year. The median is set at 30, so a 35 is above average and a 40 places you well into the top band. Because different subjects attract different cohorts, raw study scores aren’t directly comparable. VTAC therefore scales them before calculating your aggregate. Focus on steady improvement through coursework, SACs and exams - consistent gains across multiple subjects usually move your aggregate more than a single big jump in one subject.
Pick subjects you’re motivated to study and can excel in, while checking any university prerequisites early. Not sure where to start? Read our guide to the top VCE subjects for Year 12 for insights on scaling, workload and fit. Chasing scaling alone is risky; the best results come from subjects you enjoy and can commit to. If you’d like guidance, tutors on Learnmate can help you plan a balanced program, build assessment routines and sharpen exam technique.
The General Achievement Test is compulsory for students doing one or more VCE Unit 3–4 subjects. It doesn’t contribute marks to your ATAR, but it is used by VCAA for quality assurance and to support derived examination scores if needed (ie. you miss an exam or all your exams through illness or other extenuating circumstances). Taking the GAT seriously gives an extra safety net and can validate the standard of your assessments across the year.
