QLD ATAR estimator.

Pick your senior subjects, enter the subject results you're aiming for (out of 100), and we'll estimate an indicative ATAR range. It's a planning guide, not a prediction. The real scaling is set by QTAC after results come out.

Your subjects

Results are out of 100
SubjectResult

Enter at least 5 General subjects, including one English subject. Your best 5 scaled results count. If your best five don't include English, we swap your top English subject in, as QTAC requires.

Estimated ATAR

Pick 5 more subjects and enter a result for each to see your estimate.

How this works

How we calculate it

  1. 1

    Each QCE General subject gives a result out of 100, set by QCAA.

  2. 2

    QTAC scales every subject so stronger cohorts carry more weight. We use the real scaling curves from the QTAC ATAR Report 2025, which list the scaled score at five points across each subject's cohort, and we interpolate between them.

  3. 3

    Your best five scaled results add up to an aggregate out of 500. It must include an English subject, so if your top five leave English out, we swap your best English subject in, just as QTAC does.

  4. 4

    We map that aggregate to an indicative ATAR using the 2025 distribution, where the median sits near 80 and only about a quarter of eligible students reach 90 or above.

Scaling figures come from the QTAC ATAR Report 2025, the most recent published. QTAC recalculates real scaling every year from the live cohort, so we refresh these curves when each new report is released.

This is an indicative estimate only. Real ATARs are calculated by QTAC each year using inter-subject scaling that depends on how every subject's cohort performs, and those figures are never published in advance, so no calculator can be exact. Our scaling curves come from the most recent published QTAC ATAR Report, but the next cohort will scale a little differently. Treat the result as a rough guide for subject choice and goal-setting, not an official prediction. For the authoritative process, see QTAC.
