These study scores are scaled in order to calculate scaled aggregates and Australian Tertiary Admission Ranks (ATARs) . Candidates are in the 2025 scaling population if, excluding small studies, they have obtained at least one VCAA study score in 2025, 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 2025.  \nThe following table gives the 2025 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 2025 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 Art 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  \n24.4  \n37.3  \n27.6  \n28.3  \n27.0  \n26.6  \n30.5  \n27.2  \n33.6  \n29.6  \n28.0  \n28.5  \n31.2  \n28.2  \n27.3  \n32.6  \n28.1  \n32.8  \n24.1  \n28.6  \n26.4  \n7.3  \n6.7  \n6.9  \n7.0  \n7.1  \n7.5  \n7.2  \n7.4  \n7.3  \n7.3  \n7.3  \n6.8  \n7.4  \n7.3  \n7.5  \n8.3  \n7.2  \n7.0  \n6.6  \n7.2  \n7.4  \n7.3  \n20  \n15  \n24  \n16  \n17  \n16  \n15  \n19  \n17  \n22  \n19  \n18  \n18  \n20  \n17  \n15  \n22  \n18  \n22  \n14  \n18  \n16  \n25  \n19  \n31  \n21  \n22  \n21  \n20  \n25  \n22  \n28  \n25  \n23  \n23  \n26  \n22  \n21  \n27  \n23  \n27  \n19  \n23  \n21  \n31  \n24  \n38  \n26  \n28  \n27  \n25  \n31  \n27  \n34  \n30  \n27  \n28  \n31  \n28  \n27  \n33  \n28  \n33  \n23  \n28  \n26  \n36  \n29  \n43  \n32  \n33  \n32  \n31  \n36  \n32  \n39  \n36  \n32  \n33  \n37  \n33  \n33  \n38  \n33  \n38  \n29  \n34  \n31  \n41  \n34  \n47  \n38  \n39  \n38  \n37  \n41  \n38  \n44  \n41  \n37  \n39  \n42  \n39  \n40  \n43  \n39  \n42  \n35  \n39  \n37  \n46  \n41  \n50  \n44  \n45  \n44  \n44  \n46  \n44  \n47  \n46  \n43  \n45  \n46  \n45  \n46  \n47  \n44  \n47  \n42  \n45  \n43  \n50  \n50  \n51  \n50  \n50  \n50  \n50  \n50  \n50  \n50  \n50  \n50  \n50  \n50  \n50  \n50  \n50  \n50  \n50  \n50  \n50  \n50  \nHistory:  \nHI17  Ancient History  27.7 8.0  16  21  27  33  39  45  50   \nHA  Australian History  28.9 7.7  18  23  29  34  40  45  50   \nHR  Revolutions  28.7 7.6  18  23  29  34  40  45  50   \nIE Industry and Enterprise 21.6 6.8  12  16  20  26  32  40  50   \nLanguages:      \nAI  Aboriginal Languages  Small Study or no candidates, see Note below  \nAR  Arabic  31.3 6.8  20  25  30  34  39  44  50   \nAM  Armenian  Small Study or no candidates, see Note below  \nAU  Auslan  Small Study or no candidates, see Note below  \nBE  Bengali  Small Study or no candidates, see Note below  \nLO50  Bosnian  Small Study or no candidates, see Note below  \nLO53  Chin Hakha  Small Study or no candidates, see Note below  \nCN  Chinese First Language  32.9 8.6  18  25  33  39  45  48  50   \nLO57  Chinese Language Culture and Society  32.9 6.6  22  28  33  38  43  47  50   \nCK  Chinese Second Language Advanced  36.8 7.4  24  31  37  42  47  50  52   \nCL  Chinese Second Language  40.2 6.9  29  35  41  45  49  52  54   \nAG  Classical Greek  Small Study or no candidates, see Note below  \nLO51  Classical Hebrew  Small Study or no candidates, see Note below  \nCR  Croatian  Small Study or no candidates, see Note below  \nDU  Dutch  Small Study or no candidates, see Note below  \nFP  ","cbCaibpV81CF7hk6","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibpV81CF7hk6","pdf",228962,"English","# 2025 scaling overview\n## Study scores, scaling aggregates, and ATARs\n## Definition of the 2025 scaling population\n# 2025 scaled tables and subject code mappings\n## Scaled means and standard deviations\n## VTAC scaled study scores for marks 20–50\n# Subject groups by code","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of scaling in calculating ATARs?\",\"answer\":\"VCAA study scores are scaled to compute scaled aggregates and Australian Tertiary Admission Ranks (ATARs).
