- Each subject is adjusted (scaled) to account for differences in subject difficulty. A scaled mark of 30 is the average state-wide benchmark.
- What is the difference between ATAR and HSC/VCE marks?
- HSC/VCE marks are scores for specific subjects, while ATAR is a rank indicating your overall placement relative to all students.
