ATAR Compass (Calculator) - How ATAR Compass Works

UAC is responsible for calculating the ATAR for NSW HSC students. Therefore, we have direct access to accurate historical scaling statistics. We've used these statistics to build ATAR Compass.

ATAR Compass estimates your ATAR using scaling statistics from the past five years. Scaling statistics change from year to year so your actual ATAR will depend on the scaling statistics applied in the year you receive an ATAR.

This means you should use ATAR Compass as a guide only.

To estimate your ATAR:

Select all your HSC courses and enter your estimated HSC marks. Make sure the courses you select make you eligible to receive an ATAR (eg enter at least 2 units of English).

Click the 'Estimate my ATAR' button.

If the courses you select don't make you eligible for an ATAR, you'll see an error message telling you what you need to do to. Fix the error and try again.
