What is the ATAR?

THE ATAR is the Australian Tertiary Admission Rank, which is a tool designed to assist tertiary institutions when selecting students for courses.

It is calculated based on your “university aggregate” and then reported on your Tertiary Entrance Statement (provided you are eligible to receive one). An ATAR is a figure between 0 and 99.95.
