Estimate your Queensland ATAR using your QCE subject results. Add your subjects and scores above to see an indicative scaled-score breakdown, your five strongest eligible results and how different scores may affect your estimate. The calculator is an independent planning tool, not an official QTAC result.
QTAC calculates the Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) for eligible Queensland students using scaled subject results. An ATAR is a rank, not a percentage mark. It is reported in increments of 0.05, with 99.95 the highest possible rank.
To qualify for an ATAR, students generally need five General subjects, or four General subjects plus one Applied subject or a completed VET qualification at AQF Certificate III or higher. Students must also achieve at least a C in an eligible English subject. English does not necessarily need to be one of the five subjects used in the aggregate.
ATAR eligibility and the requirements to receive a QCE are different. Always check the current QTAC eligibility rules, particularly if you are combining General, Applied and VET studies.
A raw result of 80 in one subject is not automatically equivalent to a raw 80 in another. QTAC uses inter-subject scaling to account for differences between subject cohorts. A subject may scale up or down, and its scaling pattern can change from year to year.
| Result shown | What it means |
|---|---|
| Raw score | Your entered QCAA subject result, before estimated scaling |
| Scaled estimate | A modelled result used by this calculator; it is not an official QTAC scaled score |
| TEA / aggregate | The combined estimated contribution of your five selected eligible results |
| Estimated ATAR | An indicative rank based on the calculator's model, not a confirmed ATAR |
Subject selection tip: Choose subjects that suit your strengths, interests and university prerequisites rather than relying only on historical scaling trends.
Actual results may differ because official scaling, cohort performance, eligibility checks and ATAR conversion change between years. This calculator does not replace your official QTAC ATAR advice.
QTAC uses five eligible scaled results. You generally need either five General subjects, or four General subjects plus one eligible Applied subject or Certificate III-or-higher VET qualification.
No. You must meet the eligible English subject requirement with at least a C, but English only contributes to your aggregate when it is among your best five eligible scaled results.
You can estimate it, but raw marks alone cannot reproduce an official ATAR. QTAC scales subject results and ranks students using the relevant year's cohort data.
Not necessarily. Scaling depends on the cohort and your own achievement. Strong performance in subjects you understand well is more useful than choosing a subject solely for its past scaling pattern.
No. Universities may apply adjustment factors or other admission criteria. A published selection rank is not always the raw ATAR required for admission.
