You normally check your ATAR through your state or territory’s official results service or ATAR portal, not through your school or a random calculator site.

Main places to check your ATAR

  • Official ATAR / results portal
    • Each state has an official online portal where you log in with your student ID and password (or the details your state authority gave you).
* You can view your ATAR there once results are released, and usually download an official statement.
  • State admissions centre or authority
    • NSW/ACT: Through UAC (Universities Admissions Centre) – ATARs are calculated/released there for NSW and linked with ACT.
* QLD: Through the QTAC ATAR Portal, after you create an account and log in.

* Other states (VIC, SA, WA, TAS, NT) have similar official result/ATAR access via their respective admissions centres or curriculum authorities.
  • Official mobile app (where available)
    • Some states (for example, VCE students) can use an official “VCE Results and ATAR”–style app linked to their authority; you log in with the same credentials you use for online results.

What NOT to rely on

  • ATAR calculators (e.g., uni or private sites) only estimate your rank from predicted or past scores and are not official results.
  • Forums and social media threads can help you understand others’ results and scaling, but they are not a way to see your own ATAR.

Quick how‑to checklist

  1. Go to your state’s official admissions / results site (e.g., UAC, QTAC, or your curriculum authority).
  1. Log in with your student number and password or PIN.
  1. Open the “Results” or “ATAR” section to see your rank and download any official PDF or statement.

If you say which state you’re in, a more specific “click‑by‑click” path can be outlined for the exact website or app you should use.
