These study scores are scaled in order to calculate scaled aggregates and Australian Tertiary Admission Ranks (ATARs) . Candidates are in the 2020 scaling population if, excluding small studies, they have obtained at least one VCAA study score in 2020 , 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 2020.  \nThe following table gives the 2020 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 2020 Study Mean St. Dev.  20  25  30  35  40  45  50   \nAC  \nAH  \nAL03  \nIT02  \nIT03  \nAT  \nBI  \nBM  \nCH  \nCC  \nDA  \nDR  \nEC  \nEN  \nEF  \nEG  \nEV  \nXI03  \nFT  \nGE  \nHH  \nAccounting  \nAgricultural & Horticultural Studies Algorithmics (HESS)  \nApplied Computing:  \nData Analytics  \nSoftware Development Art  \nBiology  \nBusiness Management Chemistry  \nClassical Studies Dance  \nDrama Economics English  \nEnglish (EAL)  \nEnglish Language Environmental Science Extended Investigation Food Studies Geography  \nHealth and Human Development  \n30.4  \n24.4  \n35.4  \n26.3  \n27.7  \n27.2  \n30.5  \n27.0  \n33.7  \n29.9  \n28.6  \n28.2  \n31.6  \n28.1  \n28.7  \n32.2  \n27.6  \n33.0  \n24.0  \n28.7  \n26.4  \n7.5  \n6.7  \n8.0  \n7.1  \n7.0  \n7.5  \n7.4  \n7.3  \n7.3  \n7.5  \n6.8  \n7.0  \n7.1  \n7.6  \n8.1  \n7.3  \n7.3  \n6.9  \n7.1  \n7.2  \n7.4  \n19  \n15  \n23  \n15  \n16  \n16  \n19  \n17  \n23  \n19  \n19  \n18  \n21  \n17  \n17  \n21  \n17  \n21  \n14  \n18  \n16  \n25  \n19  \n30  \n20  \n21  \n21  \n25  \n21  \n29  \n24  \n24  \n23  \n26  \n22  \n22  \n27  \n22  \n27  \n18  \n23  \n21  \n30  \n23  \n36  \n25  \n27  \n26  \n30  \n27  \n34  \n30  \n28  \n28  \n32  \n28  \n28  \n32  \n27  \n33  \n23  \n28  \n26  \n36  \n29  \n41  \n31  \n32  \n32  \n36  \n32  \n39  \n35  \n33  \n33  \n37  \n34  \n34  \n38  \n33  \n38  \n29  \n34  \n31  \n41  \n35  \n46  \n37  \n38  \n38  \n41  \n38  \n44  \n40  \n39  \n38  \n42  \n39  \n40  \n42  \n38  \n43  \n35  \n39  \n37  \n46  \n42  \n49  \n43  \n44  \n44  \n46  \n44  \n47  \n45  \n44  \n44  \n46  \n45  \n46  \n47  \n44  \n47  \n42  \n45  \n44  \n50  \n50  \n51  \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  \nIndonesian Second Language  \nItalian  \nJapanese First Language  \nJapanese Second Language  \nKaren  \nKhmer  \nKorean First Language  \nKorean Second Language  \n27.7  \n28.2  \n28.9  \n24.4  \n30.6  \n30.0  \n28.0  \n34.1  \n32.7  \n38.2  \n39.7  \n37.4  \n30.7  \n40.3  \n38.5  \n34.2  \n42.3  \n35.7  \n36.8  \n36.6  \n37.5  \n30.4  \n36.4  \n8.3  \n7.8  \n7.8  \n8.3  \n6.1  \n6.7  \n7.2  \n7.9  \n6.4  \n7.8  \n6.5  \n7.7  \n3.4  \n6.7  \n6.8  \n6.7  \n6.4  \n6.9  \n6.9  \n6.3  \n6.5  \n6.0  \n6.3  \n15  \n17  \n17  \n12  \n21  \n21  \n22  \n23  \n17  \n25  \n27  \n28  \n29  \n22  \n30  \n34  \n34  \n34  \n28  \n34  \n40  \n40  \n40  \n35  \n39  \n46  \n46  \n46  \n43  \n44  \n50  \n50  \n50  \n50  \n50  \nSmall Study or no candidates, see Note below  21  26  31  36  41  45  50  Small Study or no candidates, see Note below  20  24  27  31  36  41  50   2","cbCaigNqrjPsnyz9","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigNqrjPsnyz9","pdf",120384,"English","# Overview of 2020 scaling\n## Scaling population definition\n## Scaled means, standard deviations, and VTAC results\n## Study code statistics and subject listings","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of scaling VCAA study scores in 2020?\",\"answer\":\"Scaling adjusts VCAA study scores to calculate scaled aggregates and Australian Tertiary Admission Ranks (ATARs).\"},{\"question\":\"Who is included in the 2020 scaling population?\",\"answer\":\"Candidates are in the 2020 scaling population if they have at least one VCAA study score in 2020 (excluding small studies), at least four total, at least one English study, and do not already have an ATAR.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the report connect study scores to VTAC scaled study scores?\",\"answer\":\"It provides a table with 2020 scaled means and standard deviations and indicates VTAC scaled study scores (rounded to the nearest integer) corresponding to study scores of 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, and 50.\"}]","2020 Scaling Report - Study Score Scaling and VTAC Calculations | PDF",1789910203]
