ganak.appATAR Calculator
Free VCE ATAR calculator with approximate subject scaling. Enter your study scores to estimate your Australian Tertiary Admission Rank, view aggregate breakdown, and check university entry benchmarks. Rough estimates also available for HSC, QCE, WACE, and SACE.
No English subject in your top 4. You need at least one of English, English as an Additional Language (EAL), English Language, Literature in your primary four subjects for an official ATAR.

What Is the ATAR?
The Australian Tertiary Admission Rank explained.
The ATAR is a percentile ranking (0 to 99.95) indicating your academic achievement relative to all Year 12 students in your state.

How Subject Scaling Works
Why some subjects contribute more to your ATAR than others.
Scaling adjusts raw study scores to fairly compare students across subjects with different difficulty levels and cohort strengths.
Scales Up
Specialist Maths, Methods, Chemistry, Physics, Latin, Languages
Scales Down
Studio Arts, Media, Physical Education, Further Maths, Business Mgmt
A high score in a low-scaling subject is still better than a mediocre score in a high-scaling one. Choose subjects you enjoy and can excel in.
How the Aggregate Is Calculated
The formula that turns your study scores into an ATAR.
Step 1.English subject
Must include at least one English subject in your top four.
Step 2.Best 4 at 100%
Your four highest scaled study scores count in full.
Step 3.5th & 6th at 10%
Your remaining subjects contribute 10% of their scaled score.
Disclaimer
Important limitations of this estimate.
- •This calculator provides estimates only, not official ATAR predictions.
- •Actual ATAR is calculated by state admission centres (VTAC, UAC, QTAC, TISC, SATAC) using proprietary algorithms.
- •Scaling factors are based on historical averages and change yearly with cohort data.
- •Non-VCE states (HSC, QCE, WACE, SACE) use a simplified normalisation model without subject scaling — treat those results as rough ballpark estimates only.
- •Consult your school's VCE coordinator or state admissions authority for accurate guidance.
