2011 Scaled Aggregate TableBased on the 2011 scaling and aggregation process, the following table gives an indication of the minimum scaled aggregate required to achieve at least a particular ATAR. The table can be used to check roughly an ATAR calculation.

ATAR Min Scaled Aggregate for ATAR

Subject Study Score

ATAR Study Score(i.e. Study Score after scaling)

Calculate 20% of this ATAR Study Score (20% is 1/5, or another way is to take 10%, then double it)

Aggregate: Multiply your ATAR Study Score by 4 and to this add 20% of the ATAR Study Score

Predicted ATAR (using the ATAR Aggregate Table attached)
