2014 Scaling Report
VCAA provides VTAC with study scores (relative positions). These study scores are scaled in order to calculate scaled aggregates and
Australian Tertiary Admission Ranks (ATARs). Candidates are in the 2014 scaling population if, excluding small studies, they have
obtained at least one VCAA study score in 2014, at least four in total, at least one in an English study [English, English (SL), 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 2014.
The following table gives the 2014 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.

NOTES:
1. Small Studies were not scaled by the automatic procedure, since their eligible scaling population was less than or equal to
ten. The means and standard deviations are not given in these cases, since they are not as useful.
2. For small VCE Languages, the Language adjustment is the maximum of zero and the average Language adjustment over the
previous three years. The following table gives the ATAR Subject Scores for small VCE Languages in 2014.

2014 Scaled Aggregate Table
Based on the 2014 scaling and aggregation process, the following table gives an indication of the minimum scaled aggregate required
to achieve at least a particular ATAR. The table can be used to check roughly an ATAR calculation. This conversion is now made to 2
decimal places, whereas in past years it has been made to only 1 decimal place.
