FAQs About The 2024 VCE ATAR Rankings

1. How do VIC school rankings actually work?

VIC schools are ranked based on their "success rate" which is the percentage of students who achieve study scores (marks of 45+) out of total exams sat.

2. Can students from lower-ranked schools still achieve high ATARs?

Absolutely! While top schools have higher success rates, individual students from any school can achieve 99+ ATARs with the right preparation and support. Try focusing on performing well relative to your cohort.
