With all the focus on HSC marks and ATAR at the end of year 12, you likely have some questions about how to understand these marks and even how they are calculated.<\/p>\n
Your HSC marks tell you about your performance. It is based on the average of your HSC examination and your school assessment mark. Your Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR)\u00a0ranks you within your age group and State, based on performance across your Top 10 ATAR units of study.<\/p>\n
The ATAR is a percentile ranking of a student\u2019s overall academic achievement in the HSC and a performance measure that enables students who have completed different combinations of HSC courses to be compared with one another. The ATAR ranks students to help universities select applicants based on their academic performance overall.<\/p>\n
First, to qualify for an HSC, students must complete at least 12 units of preliminary courses and at least 10 units of HSC courses.<\/p>\n
These HSC courses must include at least:<\/p>\n
*Board Developed Courses are courses developed by the New South Wales Education Standards Authority (NESA).<\/a><\/p>\n The ATAR rules, as established by Universities Admissions Centre (UAC), are slightly different to the HSC rules to ensure that students who intend to go on to university are well prepared for the demands of tertiary study. To be eligible for an ATAR in NSW, you must satisfactorily complete at least 10 units across courses that must include at least:<\/p>\n While your HSC mark and ATAR are different measures of academic performance, the calculation of your ATAR is based on your HSC performance so that for each course a student completes, NESA provides the following marks:<\/p>\n Raw HSC marks, rather than NESA\u2019s reported HSC marks, are used in the scaling process. These marks are not reported to students, meaning students are unable to calculate their ATAR based on their HSC results. To help clarify how a student\u2019s HSC marks are transformed to ATAR, we will discuss in this article:<\/p>\n Our article on achieving a Band 6 also discusses scaling.<\/a><\/p>\n Your HSC results present a profile of your HSC achievement and provide the following marks for each course<\/p>\n Once your HSC marks are determined by NESA, they are submitted to the UAC for conversion to scaled marks.<\/p>\n The underlying principle of the ATAR scaling process is that a student should neither be advantaged nor disadvantaged by choosing one HSC course over another. It is designed to encourage students to take the courses for which they are best suited, and which best prepare them for their future.<\/p>\n The scaling model assumes that a student\u2019s position in a course depends on the student\u2019s developed ability in that course as well as the \u2018strength of the competition\u2019 as demonstrated by the overall academic attainment of the entire course candidature. A scaling algorithm is applied to raw HSC marks to estimate what students\u2019 marks would have been if:<\/p>\n The scaling process is carried out afresh each year, and all students who complete at least one ATAR course in a given year are included in the scaling process for that year. Students who are accumulating courses towards their HSC have their scaled mark for each course calculated in the year that each course is completed.<\/p>\n Scaling first modifies the mean, the standard deviation (SD) and the maximum mark in each course. Adjustments are then made to the marks of individual students to produce scaled marks. Although scaled marks are generally different from the raw marks from which they are derived, the ranking of students within a course is not changed. Since different scaling is applied to different HSC subjects, your ATAR will be affected by your subject choices.<\/p>\n Once the raw HSC marks have been scaled, aggregate marks are calculated, students are ranked in order of their aggregate, and a percentile is assigned then truncated to the nearest 0.05 to provide your ATAR.<\/p>\n Aggregate marks are the sum of scaled marks in your ATAR courses. Each unit is worth 50 points, so the top ten units have a value of 500 points, and your total mark is referred to as an Aggregate. Students are then ranked in order of their aggregate, and a percentile is assigned to distribute students as evenly as possible over a 100-point scale.<\/p>\n Your percentile equates to the percentage of the ATAR cohort that received an aggregate mark less than or equal to your aggregate mark. The final stage is to truncate these percentiles to the nearest 0.05 to provide your ATAR \u2013 a number between 0 and 99.95. An ATAR of 80.00 means that you are in the top 20 percent of students for your age group (not your Year 12 group).<\/p>\n While ATARs are calculated for all ATAR-eligible students, only those students who indicate on their HSC entry forms that they wish to be notified of their ATAR will receive an ATAR Advice Notice from UAC. If you receive an ATAR between 0.00 and 30.00, your ATAR will be recorded as \u201830 or less\u2019. If you haven\u2019t met the requirements of the ATAR, your ATAR will be recorded as \u2018not eligible\u2019.<\/p>\n A large number of students will receive HSC marks between 70 and 80, so scoring closer to 80 can make a significant difference to your ATAR. Which is why, at Maths Words not Squiggles, we offer intensive HSC Exam Preparation Courses and Weekly Tutoring<\/a> to prepare our Year 12 students for these final exams.<\/p>\n We understand that the HSC can be stressful for both parents and students alike. Not only do we offer specialised HSC Tutoring, as mentioned above, we also provide resources to help ease the minds of our students and parents. In our How to Prepare for the HSC<\/a> article, MWNS teachers share their top tips on preparing for the HSC. Alternatively, if you are a parent looking for ways to make this difficult year more manageable and less stressful, read our HSC guide for Parents<\/a>.
