2011 Australian Year 12 Conversion Table

The following table is published as a guide for intending interstate applicants.  Shown in the first two columns of the table are the 2011 methods of reporting student achievements based on 2011 data. 

The last column shows the approximate points of comparison of QTAC selection ranks with Year 12 results.  These are intended as an approximation only.

For admission to tertiary courses in 2012, all States/Territories of Australia produce overall measures of their students'  2011 achievements in a common index that allow for comparisons to be made across States/Territories and across time. This overall measure is known as the Australian Tertiary Admissions Rank (ATAR) in all States/Territories other than Queensland.

Queensland provides, to the appropriate authorities, individual ranks calculated according to the ATAR for Queensland students formally applying for tertiary admission interstate.  However, within the State, students' achievements are reported as Overall Positions, with Field Positions and other criteria used, if necessary, for finer rankings.
