Important information about our calculator
The ATAR scores displayed by our calculator are estimates based on simplified calculations. They are NOT official predictions and should NOT be relied upon for making important educational or career decisions.
The Study Score Calculator is designed as an educational tool to help VCE students understand the relationship between study scores and ATAR rankings. It provides a general indication of how your study scores might translate into an ATAR, but it is not intended to replace official resources or professional guidance.
This tool is best used for:
Our calculator has several important limitations you should be aware of:
Our calculator does NOT apply subject scaling. In reality, study scores are scaled up or down based on the overall performance of students taking each subject. This means subjects like Specialist Mathematics or Chemistry typically scale up, while some other subjects may scale down. Subject scaling can significantly affect your actual ATAR.
The actual ATAR calculation performed by VTAC uses complex statistical processes that account for cohort performance, subject difficulty, and other factors. Our calculator uses a simplified algorithm that may not reflect these nuances.
ATAR rankings can vary from year to year based on overall student performance. Historical patterns may not accurately predict future results.
Special considerations such as Derived Examination Scores (DES) or Special Examination Arrangements (SEA) are not accounted for in our calculator.
