These study scores are scaled in order to calculate scaled aggregates and Australian Tertiary Admission Ranks (ATARs) . Candidates are in the 2023 scaling population if, excluding small studies, they have obtained at least one VCAA study score in 2023 , at least four in total, at least one in an English study [English, English as an Additional Language, 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 2023.  \nThe following table gives the 2023 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 2023 Study Mean St. Dev.  20  25  30  35  40  45  50   \nAC  \nAH  \nAL03  \nIT02  \nIT03  \nAT  \nSA  \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  \nArt Creative Practice  \nArt Making and Exhibiting Biology  \nBusiness Management Chemistry  \nClassical Studies Dance  \nDrama Economics English  \nEnglish as an Additional Language  \nEnglish Language Environmental Science Extended Investigation Food Studies Geography  \nHealth and Human Development  \n30.8  \n25.3  \n37.6  \n27.5  \n28.5  \n27.4  \n26.6  \n30.4  \n26.9  \n33.7  \n30.2  \n28.4  \n28.4  \n31.4  \n28.1  \n28.2  \n32.2  \n28.1  \n33.2  \n24.0  \n28.5  \n26.4  \n7.2  \n6.5  \n6.2  \n7.5  \n7.0  \n7.3  \n7.3  \n7.4  \n7.4  \n7.3  \n7.5  \n6.7  \n7.2  \n7.1  \n7.6  \n8.3  \n7.2  \n7.1  \n6.7  \n7.4  \n7.3  \n7.3  \n20  \n15  \n26  \n16  \n18  \n17  \n15  \n19  \n16  \n22  \n18  \n19  \n18  \n21  \n17  \n16  \n22  \n18  \n22  \n14  \n18  \n16  \n25  \n19  \n33  \n21  \n23  \n22  \n20  \n25  \n21  \n28  \n24  \n23  \n23  \n26  \n22  \n22  \n27  \n23  \n28  \n18  \n23  \n21  \n31  \n24  \n39  \n26  \n28  \n27  \n25  \n30  \n26  \n34  \n30  \n28  \n28  \n31  \n28  \n28  \n32  \n28  \n33  \n23  \n28  \n26  \n36  \n29  \n43  \n31  \n33  \n33  \n31  \n36  \n32  \n39  \n36  \n33  \n34  \n36  \n34  \n34  \n37  \n33  \n38  \n29  \n34  \n31  \n41  \n34  \n47  \n37  \n39  \n38  \n37  \n41  \n38  \n44  \n42  \n38  \n39  \n41  \n39  \n40  \n42  \n38  \n42  \n35  \n39  \n37  \n46  \n41  \n49  \n44  \n45  \n44  \n44  \n46  \n44  \n47  \n46  \n44  \n44  \n46  \n45  \n46  \n46  \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  \n50  \nHI17  \nHA  \nHR  \nIE  \nAI  \nAR  \nAM  \nAU  \nBE  \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  \nHistory:  \nAncient History Australian History Revolutions  \nIndustry and Enterprise  \nLanguages:  \nAboriginal Languages  \nArabic  \nArmenian  \nAuslan  \nBengali  \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 Italian  \nJapanese First Language  \nJapanese Second Language  \nKaren  \nKhmer  \n27.9  \n28.5  \n29.0  \n24.1  \n30.8  \n35.1  \n33.1  \n32.6  \n37.1  \n40.5  \n40.2  \n38.8  \n35.2  \n40.3  \n36.9  \n36.8  \n36.5  \n37.2  \n27.5  \n30.4  \n8.0  \n8.0  \n7.6  \n8.3  \n8.0  \n6.1  \n8.5  \n7.1  \n7.4  \n6.8  \n6.7  \n6.7  \n6.4  \n5.9  \n8.0  \n7.3  \n6.4  \n7.0  \n4.1  \n6.8  \nCode  2023 Study  Mean St. Dev.  20  25  30  35  40  45  50   \nKO  \nKS  \nLA  \nMA  \nPN  \nPO  \nPG  \nLO49  \nRO  \nRU  \nSE  \nSI  \nSP  \nSW  \nTA  \nTU  \nLO54  \nLO31  \nLO52  \nLS  \nLI  \nMA10  \nNF  \nNJ  \nNS  \nME  \nMD  \nMC06  \nMC05  \nMC04  \nOS  \nPL  \nPE  ","cbCaioko9wbYzfx5","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaioko9wbYzfx5","pdf",171782,"English","# 2023 Scaling Report\n## Study scores, scaling, and ATAR calculation\n## 2023 scaling population definition\n## Scaled means and standard deviations mapping","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of scaling VCAA study scores in 2023?\",\"answer\":\"Scaling adjusts VCAA study scores so they can be used in VTAC scaled aggregates and Australian Tertiary Admission Ranks (ATARs).\"},{\"question\":\"How is the 2023 scaling population defined?\",\"answer\":\"Candidates are included if they obtained at least one VCAA study score in 2023 (excluding small studies), have at least four scores in total, have at least one qualifying English study, and do not already have an ATAR.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the report provide after the population definition?\",\"answer\":\"It gives 2023 scaled means and standard deviations and shows how VTAC scaled study scores (rounded) correspond to study scores such as 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, and 50.\"}]","2023 Scaling Report - VCAA study score scaling means and standard deviations | PDF",1789906414]
