This is an estimate, not your ATAR. Scaling changes every year. Your marks stay on your device: nothing you enter is sent to Cosmos Coaching Centre or anyone else.
How this ATAR calculator works
Your ATAR is a rank, not a mark. UAC turns HSC results into an ATAR in four steps, and this calculator follows the same steps with last year’s published data.
- Your position in each course. Your HSC mark is placed against everyone who sat that course, giving a percentile.
- A scaled mark. That percentile is converted to a scaled mark out of 50 per unit. Courses whose students do well across all their subjects scale higher.
- An aggregate out of 500. Your best 2 units of English are added to your best 8 other units. A course can count in part, and Mathematics Extension 1 counts as 2 units when you also take Extension 2.
- Your ATAR. The aggregate is converted to a rank between 0 and 99.95.
What does “ATAR to marks” do?
Set a target ATAR and the calculator finds the marks you’d need if you sat at the same position in every course. If you’re confident of a mark in one subject, type it in to lock it, and the others adjust.
