Why use our Calculator?
Our calculator is one of the most accurate calculators around because we use data from the past 2 years released by each state to get the best estimate of your ATAR score.
Your actual ATAR will be scaled according to the performance of everyone in your state that year, so it may differ from our estimate. Our calculator, like all other ATAR calculators, can only give you an estimate of your ATAR based on historical data.
How is your ATAR calculated?
The Australian Tertiary Admission Rank is a number between 0.00 and 99.95 that indicates your position relative to all the students in your age group (ie all 16 to 20 year olds in NSW). So, an ATAR of 80.00 means that you are 20 per cent from the top of your age group (not just your Year 12 group).
To qualify for an ATAR, you must:
- Complete five General subjects, or a mix of four General subjects plus one Applied subject or VET qualification (Certificate III or higher).
- Achieve a minimum grade of C in an English subject (though this may not be used in your ATAR calculation depending on what state you’re in).
IB ATAR Calculation
IB students are awarded grades from 1 to 7 for each of their six subjects (for a total of 42) and up to an additional 3 points for the three core components (TOK, EE, CAS). This makes 45 the highest possible IB score to get.
In 2022, the ACTAC introduced the ABAS, a decimal point score with 0.25 increments to help differentiate students who have gotten the same IB score and grade bands, better differentiating students' performances.

How to Optimise your ATAR
If your subjects scale well, great for you! But if it doesn’t, it’s not the end of the world. A general misconception about scaling is that it “punishes” students for taking certain subjects. In reality, it is designed to ensure fairness, not to discourage or favour any particular subject.
Don’t pick subjects based on scaling, but based on what you’re realistically good at and interested in. After all, a raw 50 will still be a scaled 50 (or even more!) no matter which subject you take.
To perform well for the ATAR, it's more than just understanding scaling:
- Balance Interest and Strengths: Choose subjects you enjoy and excel at. Passion often translates into better results.
- Check Prerequisites: Many university courses require specific subjects. For example, engineering might need Mathematical Methods and Physics.
- Diversify Your Selection: Opt for a mix of subjects to keep your options open. For instance, combine sciences with a humanities subject to develop a broader skill set.
- Seek Advice: Consult teachers, career counsellors, and even university course guides to make informed decisions. Also, ask older students for insights—they've been through it all and can offer valuable tips.
