ATAR estimator
Put in the study scores you have, or the ones you are aiming at, and see roughly where they land. Everything it uses is published by VTAC.
Scales each score
A study score is adjusted depending on how the whole state did in that study. VTAC publishes the adjustment for every study.
Adds up your best results
Your highest English, your next three highest permissible scores, and a tenth each of a fifth and sixth. VTAC calls that your aggregate.
Turns that into an ATAR
VTAC publishes a table of the aggregate needed for each ATAR. This reads that table.
Your studies
Four or more, including one English. Study scores run from 20 to 50 here — see the note below.
Estimate
Add an English study. VTAC needs one of English, English as an Additional Language, Literature or English Language before it calculates an ATAR at all.
What this cannot tell you
- These are the 2025 scaling figures. Scaling is recalculated every year against that year's cohort, so a student sitting exams later will be scaled on numbers that do not exist yet.
- VTAC publishes a scaled score at study scores of 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45 and 50. Anything between two of those is worked out by us in a straight line, and VTAC uses two decimal places where the published table is rounded to whole numbers. Both make small differences.
- An ATAR is a rank, not a pass mark, and it is only part of how anyone is selected. Adjustment factors, early offers, folios, interviews and non-ATAR pathways all sit outside this page.
- “The formal aggregation process uses VTAC scaled study scores to two decimal places, but the following information gives an indication of how scaling adjusts scores in the various studies.”
- “Based on the 2025 scaling and aggregation process, the following table gives an indication of the minimum scaled aggregate required to achieve at least a particular ATAR. The table can be used to check roughly an ATAR calculation.”
Everything here comes from VTAC's scaling report, published 11 December 2025, and the study area groupings fact sheet (2028, correct at July 2026).
