ATAR Calculator
What is the ATAR Calculator?
The ATAR Calculator is a user-friendly online application designed for Australian high school students to estimate their Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR).
The ATAR is a percentile score used by universities across Australia to determine student eligibility for tertiary courses. By entering your subjects and expected scores, this calculator applies relevant scaling factors and provides an estimated ATAR, helping you understand your academic standing before official results are released.
How to Use the ATAR Calculator – Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Select Your Number of Subjects
Begin by choosing how many subjects you are taking from the dropdown menu. Most students select either five or six subjects, which will determine how many input fields appear for you to fill.
Step 2: Input Your Subjects and Scores
For each subject, select its name from the provided list and enter your predicted or actual score (from 0 to 100). The calculator will automatically display the scaling factor for each subject, reflecting its relative weight in the ATAR calculation.
Step 3: Calculate Your ATAR
After entering all your subjects and scores, click the “Calculate ATAR” button. The calculator will process your data, apply the appropriate scaling, and present your estimated ATAR score in a highlighted format. You will also receive a detailed breakdown of the calculation process.
Step 4: Review the Calculation Explanation
Below your ATAR result, you will find a clear explanation showing each subject’s raw and scaled scores, the aggregate used, and the formula applied. This helps you understand how your ATAR was estimated and what the result means for your university applications.
Tip: This calculator provides an estimate based on common scaling and ranking practices. For official results and more detailed advice, consult your school or state education authority.
