QCAA/ATAR

Tertiary entrance is determined by the Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) and any relevant Selection Rank obtained from the completion of Certificate III, Certificate IV or Diploma qualifications. The Queensland Tertiary Admissions Centre (QTAC) calculates tertiary entrance ranks by comparing student results through a process of inter-subject scaling, prior to releasing student outcomes to students in mid-December each year.

The QCE is Queensland’s senior school qualification, which is awarded to eligible students usually at the end of Year 12. The QCE recognises broad learning options and offers flexibility in what, where and when learning occurs. To receive a QCE, students must achieve the set amount of learning, in the set standard, in a set pattern, while meeting literacy and numeracy requirements.
