Unmasking the ATAR System

Aimed at Year 10 students, parents, guardians and teachers, this webinar demystifies the university entry process and prep you with everything you need to know about subject selection, ATAR calculations and university applications.

Key topics:

• Enter the exciting world of subject selection and discover how different subjects are graded and which subjects cannot be studied together.
• Gain an understanding of subject scaling, and how it assists the ATAR calculation process.
• Learn how to access your ATAR, and what a QTAC application looks like.
