Minor change to 2025 ATAR calculation

The requirements to receive an Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) in Tasmania are set by the University of Tasmania (UTAS), as the Tertiary Admissions Centre (TAC) for Tasmania.

The TAC has decided to make a minor change to the ATAR calculation process that will apply from 2025 onwards. The change will see an ATAR calculated using an eligible student’s best results in at least four Level 3 and 4 courses over two years of senior secondary education (combination of two years from Years 11, 12 or 13). This change removes the requirement for three of the results to be from the final year of study.

There is no change to the 2024 ATAR calculation for current Year 12/13 students.

More information about the change is available:

from the University at www.utas.edu.au/atar including the factsheet Understanding the changes to the ATAR,
on the TASC webpage: ATAR calculation from 2025 including FAQs on how the change affects current and future students.
