Hi there, future uni student! With exams approaching, you're probably thinking about your post-high school options. If university is on your radar, your ATAR (Australian Tertiary Admission Rank) will play a crucial role in determining your course and university placement.
Why is Your ATAR Important?
Your ATAR is used to rank you against other students and helps universities decide who gets into competitive courses. But remember: for some degrees, the ATAR alone is not enough.
