The aim of this table is to provide 2011 year 12 applicants with information about the comparability of their results across Australia. The table relates to 2010 results and must be used as a guide only.

Since the late 1990s all Australian states and territories (except Queensland) have used a common measure to rank year 12 students for university admission which allows comparisons to be made across states/territories and across time. Until recently, this rank had different names around Australia, eg TER, ENTER, UAI.

From 2010, the Australasian Conference of Tertiary Admission Centres of which SATAC is a member, agreed to adopt a common name for this measure: the Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR).

As the table shows, an ATAR of 81.00 in any state or territory (except Queensland) is the same as an ATAR of 81.00 from any state or territory (except Queensland). This means that if you are completing your year 12 studies in 2011 or later in one of these states or territories, your ATAR remains the same.

For applicants with an OP from Queensland, the Queensland Studies Authority will provide SATAC with an equivalent ATAR.
