A brief description of how the ATAR works [1]. The Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) for all domestic students, or the ATAR-based Combined Rank (CR) for all International Baccalaureate (IB) students, [2] are the primary criteria for determining the Selection Rank (SR) for admission into undergraduate courses in Australian public universities.

The statistical distribution of UAI scores in 2004 found that 1.6% of students who completed Year 12 scored at or over a UAI of 99. [3] UAIs are awarded in increments of 0.05. The UAI's predecessor, the Tertiary Entrance Rank , was different because it defined the student population as only students in year 12.
Some universities also have a Pass Conceded (PC) grade for marks that fall in the range of 45–49 inclusive. A few universities do not issue numeric grades out of 100 for individual subjects, instead relying on qualitative descriptors.
The Special Tertiary Admissions Test (STAT) is a group of four scholastic aptitude tests used for admission into undergraduate programs at Australian universities, for students without a recent Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR). [citation needed] Some universities require STAT testing for admission to particular programs or courses.
The Tertiary Entrance Rank (TER) was a tertiary entrance score used in several Australian states, the ACT [1] and the Northern Territory as a tool for selection to universities in Australia. As of 2010, it has been replaced by the Australian Tertiary Admission Rank in all states and territories (including Queensland as of 2020).
For domestic applications, an Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) is required, with selection ranks varying between courses. Applicants may also be eligible for admission if they have completed a UTS foundation course or an AQF Diploma. Applicants applying with an IB Diploma will have their scores converted into a UAC Rank for admission ...
Instead of being a percentile rank (0.00 - 99.95), however, OPs are measured on a scale from 1 to 25, where 1 is the highest and 25 is the lowest. This range of possible results is bell curved so the percentage of students receiving the very highest and very lowest results is much less common than those receiving mid-range OPs.
College and university rankings order higher education institutions based on various criteria, with factors differing depending on the specific ranking system. These rankings can be conducted at the national or international level, assessing institutions within a single country, within a specific geographical region, or worldwide.
