VCE ATAR calculator
Enter your VCE study scores to see the scaled score for each study, how VTAC would build your aggregate, and an estimated ATAR. Set a target ATAR and leave a study score blank to see what it needs. Everything here is an estimate based on VTAC's 2025 scaling, not an official ATAR.
Estimate your ATAR from study scores
Add each Unit 3 and 4 study and your study score out of 50 (actual or predicted). Each study shows its scaled score and whether it counts in your aggregate.

Set a target and leave a study score blank to see what it needs. Study scores you enter stay fixed.
Estimated ATAR
An ATAR needs:
- An English study (done)
- 4 studies that can count together (still needed)

Pick a study and a study score to see its estimated scaled score under VTAC's 2025 scaling.
Estimated scaled score
41
A study score of 35 in Mathematics: Mathematical Methods, based on VTAC's 2025 scaling.
Mathematics: Mathematical Methods in 2025
Scaled mean 34.4, standard deviation 8.4. Study area grouping: Mathematics studies.
| Study score | 20 | 25 | 30 | 35 | 40 | 45 | 50 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Scaled score | 21 | 28 | 35 | 41 | 46 | 49 | 51 |
VTAC publishes these anchors rounded to whole numbers, and scores in between are estimated with a straight line. Scaling reflects how strong the students in a study were in their other studies, not how hard the study is.

How the calculator works
VTAC scales each Unit 3 and 4 study score for the strength of the competition in that study, and this calculator reads your scaled scores from VTAC's 2025 Scaling Report, estimating between its published points (study scores of 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45 and 50) with a straight line. Your aggregate is one English study plus your next three highest scaled scores (the primary four), plus 10% of a fifth and sixth. It applies VTAC's limits on studies from the same study area grouping and counts equivalent studies once. The aggregate is then read against VTAC's 2025 aggregate to ATAR table and rounded down to the nearest 0.05.
With a target ATAR set, the study scores you enter stay fixed and the calculator finds the lowest scaled score that every blank study would need, all the same, to reach the aggregate for that target under the same rules. Each blank study then shows the study score that gets there. A study that cannot reach that scaled score even with 50 is held at 50, and the others need more to make up the difference.
Scaling changes every year with the cohort, so your real ATAR can differ. For the full explanation, read how the VCE ATAR is calculated.
