Enter your scaled study scores (not raw). Include your best English in the first box — it must be one of your top four. Add up to six subjects; the 5th and 6th count at 10%.

Predicted ATAR
0.00

A guide based on the VTAC 2025 aggregate table. Your real ATAR depends on the full year's data and is released by VTAC in December. ATARs are equivalent across states.

How the ATAR is built from your scaled scores

Your ATAR is not an average of your marks. VTAC adds up your best scaled study scores to make an aggregate, then ranks that aggregate against every student to give a percentile, which is your ATAR.

The aggregate uses your best English score plus your next three highest scaled scores at full value. Your fifth and sixth subjects then add 10% each. This tool applies that exact method, then reads your ATAR from the official 2025 aggregate table.

Scaled scores, not raw study scores

This predictor needs your scaled study scores. A raw study score of 40 in one subject is not worth the same as a 40 in another once scaling is applied. If you only know your raw study scores, run them through the ATAR scaling calculator first, then bring the scaled numbers back here.

Use it to set a goal

Try different combinations to see what you need for a target ATAR. A small lift in two or three subjects often moves your ATAR more than you expect near the top of the range. To estimate from raw marks in a specific state instead, use your state tool on the ATAR calculators hub.

The official VCE aggregate and ATAR are calculated by VTAC, whose annual scaling report underpins this predictor.

ATAR predictor — common questions

How does this ATAR predictor work?

It adds your best English scaled score and your next three highest scaled scores at full value, plus 10% of your fifth and sixth subjects, to make an aggregate. It then reads your ATAR from the official VTAC 2025 aggregate-to-ATAR table.

Do I enter raw or scaled study scores?

Scaled study scores. Raw scores are not comparable across subjects until scaling is applied. If you only have raw scores, use the scaling calculator first.

Why does English get special treatment?

An English study must be one of your top four subjects in the ATAR aggregate. That is why the first box is reserved for your best English scaled score.

Is the predicted ATAR exact?

No, it is a close guide based on last year's official table. Your real ATAR depends on the full current-year data and is released by VTAC in December.

Does this work outside Victoria?

The aggregate method shown here is VTAC's, but ATARs are designed to be equivalent across all states. The result is a reasonable national guide. For a state-specific estimate from raw marks, use your state calculator.

What if I only have four or five subjects?

That is fine. Leave the extra boxes blank. You need at least your English plus three more subjects for a meaningful aggregate.
