Tertiary Admissions Subject (TAS)

All subjects apart from Community Studies and Modified subjects are recognised by universities to contribute toward an ATAR. These subjects are known as Tertiary Admissions Subjects.

Scaling

To combine scores from a wide variety of different subjects to form an aggregate, it must be ensured that the scores are on a common scale. Scaling is the process used to convert scores to a common scale.

Further information about scaling can be found at the SATAC website.
