All you need to know…

ATAR - ASSIGNING A TERTIARY ENTRANCE RANK An ATAR will be calculated from  5 General subjects OR  4 General subjects & a VET Cert III & above subject OR  4 General subjects & an Applied subject. ATAR assignment requires successful completion of an English subject

ATAR - ASSESSMENT IN YEAR 12 Subject results in General subjects (academic) will be based on student achievement in four summative assessments — three internal assessments and one external assessment that QCAA sets and marks. Subject results in Applied (practical) subjects will be based on student achievement in four internal assessments.

ATAR For most General subjects, the internal assessment will contribute 75% to the final subject result, except in mathematics and science subjects, where it will contribute 50%. External assessment will be in all General subjects, but it will not be used to scale a student’s internal assessment result. Instead, the external assessment result will be added to the internal assessment result to arrive at a final subject result.

EXAMPLE ASSESSMENT YEAR 12 English Internal External Overall Result Term 1 Term 2 Term 3 Term 4 80/100 20/25 18/25 22/25 20/25 Biology Internal External Overall Result Term 1 Term 2 Term 3 Term 4 75/100 10/15 14/20 12/15 39/50
