Scaling

Scaled score equivalents for Recognised Studies


 

The Universities and TAFE SA have approved the following methods of assigning scaled score equivalents for Recognised Studies:

Higher Education

The scaled score contribution of a Recognised Studies higher education subject will be:

  • an equivalent scaled score based on grades as follows:

 

Grade

Equivalent SACE Scaled Score

HD

20.0

D

19.8

C

18.0

P1

15.8

P2

11.5

P where P1 is not in the grading system

15.8

P where P1 is in the grading system

11.5

 Conceded Passes

10.0

 Non-Graded Passes

Average of first 60 credits is used

 

  • or the average scaled scores of the first 60 credits of TAS used in the calculation of the university aggregate (or the first 40 credits for the TAFE SA selection score)

 

whichever is higher.

VET Qualifications

The scaled score contribution of a completed VET qualification will be the average scaled scores of the first 60 credits of TAS used in the calculation of the university aggregate (or the first 40 credits for the TAFE SA selection score)

Interstate Year 12 Subjects

For interstate subjects, the scaled score in the home state will be equated to South Australian scaled scores on a percentile basis. For example using this methodology a Victorian scaled study score of 41.0 (out of 50) would equate to a South Australian scaled score of 18.5 (out of 20); 31.8 would equate to a South Australian scaled score of 15.5.

IB subjects

The scaled score contribution of an IB subject will be as follows:
