Selection is based on academic merit and entry via this route is very competitive.

THE AUSTRALIAN TERTIARY ADMISSION RANK (ATAR) The Australian Tertiary Admission Rank is the basis of admission to most university courses. You are ranked in order of merit based on your ATAR. The ATAR ranges between zero and 99.95. It reports your rank relative to all other WA students of Year 12 school leaving age and takes into account the number of students with a Tertiary Entrance Aggregate (TEA) as well as the number of people of Year 12 school leaving age in the population of this state. An ATAR of 75.00 indicates that you have an overall rating equal to or better than 75% of the Year 12 school leaving age population in Western Australia. T he ATAR is calculated using scaled marks in courses.

SCALING All course results will be scaled to ensure fairness to all students. A scaled score for an ATAR course can only be calculated if a student sits the WACE examination for that course. The Average Marks Scaling process is used to scale marks obtained in a course.

CALCULATION OF THE ATAR

The ATAR is derived from the Tertiary Entrance Aggregate (TEA). The TEA will be calculated by adding the best four scaled scores plus 10% of that students best LOTE scaled score and Mathematics Methods and /or Specialist scaled score based on many rules which you see on page 4 of the University Admission 2020 booklet.

COURSES WHICH ARE USED TO FORM THE ATAR OFFERED AT ASHS IN 2018

UNACCEPTABLE COURSE COMBINATIONS

Australind SHS does not offer any unacceptable combinations for calculating your ATAR. If repeating Year 12 studies, you may have results from both courses only one may be used to calculate your ATAR. PREREQUISITES Make sure that you satisfy the prerequisites for admission to the university course of your choice. Prerequisites are courses or special requirements that must be successfully completed for entry to particular university courses. Generally a scaled mark of 50 or more of a WACE course or in a past ATAR courses is required for prerequisites purposes, however Mathematics prerequisites differ across university courses. See individual university course entries which follow for details. Murdoch University does not require applicants to have undertaken specific prerequisite courses and instead provides introductory units to enable its students to become skilled in specific areas in which they may be lacking. For some university courses the special requirements may include bridging / special course units, interviews, auditions, folio presentations, manual dexterity tests, aptitude tests, fitness requirements, etc.
