These study scores are scaled in order to calculate scaled aggregates and Australian Tertiary Admission Ranks (ATARs) . Candidates are in the 2019 scaling population if, excluding small studies, they have obtained at least one VCAA study score in 2019, at least four in total , at least one in an English study [English, English (EAL), English Language or Literature], but do not already have an ATAR. The scaling population is therefore a subset of the entire population. The means and standard deviations below pertain to the scaling population in 2019.  \nThe following table gives the 2019 scaled means and standard deviations as well as the VTAC scaled study scores (rounded to the nearest integer) corresponding to the study scores of 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45 and 50. The formal aggregation process uses VTAC scaled study scores to two decimal places, but the following information gives an indication of how scaling adjusts scores in the various studies.  \nCode 2019 Study Mean St. Dev.  20  25  30  35  40  45  50   \nAC  \nAH  \nAL03  \nAT  \nBI  \nBM  \nCH  \nCC  \nIT02  \nIT03  \nDA  \nDR  \nEC  \nEN  \nEF  \nEG  \nEV  \nXI03  \nFT  \nGE  \nHH  \nAccounting  \nAgricultural & Horticultural Studies Algorithmics (HESS)  \nArt Biology  \nBusiness Management Chemistry  \nClassical Studies  \nComputing:  \nInformatics  \nSoftware Development  \nDance Drama Economics English  \nEnglish (EAL) English Language Environmental Science Extended Investigation Food Studies Geography  \nHealth and Human Development  \n30.3  \n25.1  \n36.3  \n27.3  \n30.4  \n26.9  \n33.7  \n29.9  \n26.0  \n28.3  \n28.7  \n27.6  \n32.0  \n28.1  \n28.8  \n32.4  \n27.9  \n31.6  \n23.9  \n28.8  \n26.3  \n7.4  \n6.7  \n7.0  \n7.4  \n7.3  \n7.3  \n7.2  \n7.5  \n6.7  \n7.1  \n7.2  \n7.4  \n7.2  \n7.5  \n8.1  \n7.2  \n7.1  \n7.4  \n7.3  \n7.1  \n7.3  \n19  \n14  \n24  \n15  \n20  \n16  \n22  \n18  \n15  \n16  \n19  \n17  \n21  \n17  \n17  \n22  \n17  \n20  \n14  \n18  \n16  \n25  \n18  \n31  \n20  \n25  \n21  \n28  \n24  \n20  \n21  \n23  \n22  \n27  \n22  \n23  \n27  \n22  \n26  \n18  \n23  \n21  \n30  \n23  \n38  \n26  \n30  \n26  \n34  \n30  \n25  \n27  \n29  \n27  \n32  \n28  \n29  \n33  \n28  \n31  \n23  \n28  \n26  \n36  \n28  \n42  \n32  \n36  \n32  \n39  \n35  \n30  \n33  \n34  \n33  \n37  \n33  \n35  \n38  \n33  \n37  \n29  \n34  \n31  \n41  \n34  \n46  \n38  \n41  \n38  \n44  \n41  \n36  \n39  \n39  \n38  \n42  \n39  \n41  \n42  \n39  \n42  \n35  \n39  \n37  \n46  \n41  \n49  \n45  \n46  \n44  \n47  \n46  \n42  \n45  \n44  \n44  \n47  \n45  \n46  \n47  \n44  \n46  \n42  \n45  \n43  \n50  \n50  \n50  \n50  \n50  \n50  \n50  \n50  \n50  \n50  \n50  \n50  \n50  \n50  \n50  \n50  \n50  \n50  \n50  \n50  \n50  \nHI17  \nHA  \nHR  \nIE  \nAR  \nAM  \nAU  \nLO50  \nLO53  \nCN  \nLO57  \nCK  \nCL  \nAG  \nLO51  \nCR  \nDU  \nFP  \nFR  \nGN  \nMG  \nHB  \nHI  \nHU  \nAI  \nIN  \nIX  \nIL  \nJA  \nJS  \nLO55  \nKH  \nKO  \nKS  \nHistory:  \nAncient History Australian History Revolutions  \nIndustry and Enterprise  \nLanguages:  \nArabic  \nArmenian  \nAuslan  \nBosnian  \nChin Hakha  \nChinese First Language  \nChinese Language Culture and Society Chinese Second Language Advanced  \nChinese Second Language  \nClassical Greek  \nClassical Hebrew  \nCroatian  \nDutch  \nFilipino  \nFrench  \nGerman  \nGreek  \nHebrew  \nHindi  \nHungarian  \nIndigenous Languages  \nIndonesian First Language Indonesian Second Language  \nItalian  \nJapanese First Language  \nJapanese Second Language  \nKaren  \nKhmer  \nKorean First Language  \nKorean Second Language  \n28.0  \n28.7  \n28.9  \n23.0  \n31.1  \n28.8  \n31.2  \n34.5  \n31.9  \n37.9  \n39.9  \n35.3  \n32.0  \n33.3  \n40.1  \n38.7  \n34.6  \n40.6  \n35.9  \n36.0  \n35.7  \n37.4  \n30.0  \n38.4  \n8.5  \n7.4  \n7.8  \n7.9  \n6.8  \n7.3  \n6.1  \n8.0  \n7.1  \n7.6  \n6.7  \n7.0  \n8.4  \n6.1  \n6.7  \n6.6  \n6.7  \n7.3  \n8.9  \n6.8  \n6.3  \n6.8  \n7.6  \n6.7  \nCode 2019 Study Mean St. Dev.  20  25  30  35  40  45  50   \nLA  \nMA  \nML  \nPN  \nPO  \nPG  \nLO49  \nRO  \nRU  \nSE  \nSI  \nSP  \nSW  \nTA  \nTU  \nLO54  \nVT  \nLO52  \nLS  \nLI  \nNF  \nNJ  \nNS  \nME  \nMC05  \nMC04  \nMD  \nOS  \nPL  \nPE  \nPH  \nPS03  \nPS05  \nDT  \nPY  \nRS  \nSO03  \nSA  \nSE03  \nTT  \nTS  \nVC  \nBU23  \nCT41  \nMU07  \nDN06  \nEG16  \nEQ0","cbCaieJp1dksqr1w","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaieJp1dksqr1w","pdf",93782,"English","# 2019 Scaling Report\n## Scaling population and purpose\n## Scaled means, standard deviations, and score mapping","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the scaling process in 2019?\",\"answer\":\"VCAA study scores are scaled to calculate scaled aggregates and Australian Tertiary Admission Ranks (ATARs).
