More information

How do ATARs work?

ATAR stands for Australian Tertiary Admission Rank. It’s a rank, not a score, that measures your Year 12 results against other students in your age group.

What is a good ATAR?

The ATAR required is specific to each course. However, what makes a good ATAR is subjective and can be determined by a number of factors beyond the ranking itself.

What if my ATAR is lower than expected?

Didn’t get the ATAR you hoped for? You’ve got more options than you think. Learn about what options are available if you didn't get the ATAR you wanted.

Have more questions?

Our friendly staff at Study@RMIT are available five days a week to assist you.
