Anxiously waiting your ATAR? Here is a state-by-state guide on how to access your results

Most of the country's 2025 Year 12 students have finally received their ATAR results, with just one state left still waiting on tenterhooks.

The Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) ranks students from a scale of zero to 99.95 and is used to help year 12 students enrol in their preferred university course.

It is calculated by combining the best scaled subjects (two units of English and eight other units) to create an aggregate, which then ranks a student against their year group.
