2. ATAR – How is it calculated?
![Page 14: ATAR and University Entry Mr Andrew Hill (Associate Principal Senior School)](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062806/5697bfa51a28abf838c97d7a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR)
An ATAR ranges between 99.95 and zero, and reports your rank position relative to all other students. It takes into account the number of students who sit the WACE examinations in any year and also the number of people of Year 12 school leaving age in the total population. Your TEA will be calculated and then converted to an ATAR, which tells you where you are ranked relative to other students. This will be the same position as a ranking based on your TEA, but the TEA is not able to convey this information directly to you. If you have an ATAR of 70.00, for example, it indicates that you have achieved as well as or better than 70% of the Year 12 school leaver age population.
![Page 15: ATAR and University Entry Mr Andrew Hill (Associate Principal Senior School)](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062806/5697bfa51a28abf838c97d7a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
TERTIARY ENTRANCE AGGREGATE (TEA)
The TEA is the sum of your best four scaled marks taking into account unacceptable course combinations.
The TEA is out of 400.
