Wondering how different subjects scaled in Queensland in 2022?
If you’ve graduated, you would already have your ATAR from the QTAC ATAR portal. You might want to know more about how your marks compared with everyone else in your subjects last year.
So where do you go for that info?
The 2022 Queensland ATAR scaling report is now available here: QTAC’s 2022 ATAR Report
You can also read it on this page or download it from the link below.
QTAC have also released a summary of insights and data from the Queensland ATAR Report 2022 as well. You can find this blog post here: QTAC ATAR Report release blog post.
What else should I do?
If you’re interested in the 2022 ATAR scaling data because you’re still at school, there are a few other things you should look at too.
Learn more about how the ATAR is calculated
QTAC have published some great resource on their ATAR page to help everyone understand how the ATAR is calculated, including:
- All about your ATAR: A guide for Year 11 and 12 students
- Inter-subject scaling: An introduction
- Calculating the ATAR in Queensland: Technical document
Check out the 2020 and 2021 ATAR Reports
You might also be interested to find out how subjects scaled in 2020 and 2021. You can do this by checking out the 2020 QTAC ATAR Report and 2021 QTAC ATAR Report. Keep in mind that, due to COVID’s impact on schooling, 2020 Year 12 students only completed 3 assessments across Unit 3 & 4 of each of their subjects.
Remember, scaling data can change each year!
Looking at how the ATAR is calculated and reading past scaling data is helpful, but there’s still no accurate way to predict how subjects will scale each year. Each year’s subject scaling depends on how the whole cohort of current Year 12 students perform across all of their subjects.
As QTAC suggest, you should pick subjects that you like, you think you’ll do well in, and that will meet any prerequisite requirements for courses you’d like to study in future.
So do your research and do your best, then let QTAC do the rest.
Good luck!
