The value indicates students’ positions relative to the potential Year 12 population in their Australian State or Territory. ATARs are expressed on a 2000-point scale from 99 .95 (highest) to 0.00, in increments of 0 .05. ATARs equal to or below 30 .00 are reported as “30 .00 or less”.  \nGeneral: Unless otherwise specified, references to General subjects include General, General Extension and Senior External Examination subjects.  \nInter-subject scaling: The process by which raw results are converted to scaled results to allow comparability between subjects.  \nQCAA: Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority.  \nQCE: Queensland Certificate of Education.  \nQTAC: Queensland Tertiary Admissions Centre.  \nRaw results: The subject result achieved by a student. For General subjects, General Extension or Senior External Examination subjects, raw results have a score out of 100, as awarded by the QCAA. For Applied subjects, raw results consist of a letter grade as awarded by the QCAA.  \nScal","cbCailKph0XT7FAZ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailKph0XT7FAZ","pdf",4992876,25,"English","# Introduction\n## Purpose and scope of the 2021 ATAR calculation overview\n# Definitions\n## ATAR and related measures (TEA, QCE, QTAC)\n## Raw vs scaled results; inter-subject scaling and scaling cohort\n# Overview of the 2021 Year 12 cohort\n## Size of the cohort, scaling cohort, and ATAR eligible group\n## Subject and VET qualification coverage\n# Inter-subject scaling\n## Purpose of scaling\n## Scaling algorithm\n## Scaling results\n# ATAR\n## Tertiary Entrance Aggregate (TEA)\n## Eligibility criteria and subject schemes\n## Participation Model and ATAR distribution","[{\"question\":\"What does ATAR measure for Queensland students?\",\"answer\":\"ATAR measures a student’s overall school achievement and indicates their position relative to the potential Year 12 population in their state or territory.
