TCE assessment, explained

TCE / TASC ATAR calculator

TASC doesn't publish a way to convert a percentage or exam mark into a course score — course awards are criteria-based (Satisfactory through to Exceptional Achievement) and the score range for each award is only fixed once the whole state's results are in for that year. So this doesn't take a raw mark: enter each course's own score (from a results document or a predicted award) and it runs TASC's real Tertiary Entrance (TE) Score rule and its published 2025 TE-score-to- ATAR table.

The TE Score rule (best accredited courses summing 60-75 points, 15 points each) and the TE-score-to-ATAR table are from TASC's own 2025 publications (tasc.tas.gov.au). TASC does not publish a way to convert a percentage or exam mark into a course score — course awards are criteria-based, and the score range for each award is only fixed once the whole state's results are in for that year — so this calculator cannot take a raw mark; enter each course's own score (from a results document or a predicted award) instead. It does not model HAP/UCP units, partial-weight courses, or Year 13.

Your subjects

Your TE Score is the sum of your best Level 3/4 accredited course scores, up to five, each worth up to 15 points toward the 60-75 point total TASC needs — its own rule, not a percentage of anything. Raw and Scaled show the same number below: the course score you enter is the number the TE Score is actually built from, since TASC doesn't publish a way to derive one from a raw mark.

Every TASC-accredited Level 3/4 course with an external assessment component is listed — the set the TE Score factsheet describes as worth 15 points each. HAP and UCP units, partial-weight courses and Year 13 study aren't modelled; this covers the standard five-full-course case.

Subject	Raw	Scaled

TE Score (best courses, out of 75) 75.00

83.85

estimated ATAR, roughly 80–88

This is a rough estimate built from your own course-score guesses, not a lookup of a real number — TASC doesn't publish a raw-mark-to-course-score conversion, so it can't be more precise than the number you enter. It doesn't model HAP/UCP units, partial-weight courses, Year 13 study or special provisions.

How a TCE ATAR is actually built

The 60-75 point rule

Your TE Score is built from Level 3/4 TASC-accredited courses (and equivalent HAP/UCP units) completed over two calendar years, each full course worth 15 points, needing a sum total of 60 to 75 points. Four full courses (60 points) is TASC's stated minimum eligibility; five (75 points) is, in its own words, "the most common way" to get a TE Score, since it's always at least as high as using four.

Course scaling

Each course's score already accounts for how difficult it was to achieve a given award compared with every other scaled course that year — the same principle behind VTAC's, UAC's, TISC's and QTAC's scaling. TASC is one of the two authorities of the six that doesn't publish how a raw or moderated mark becomes that score (SATAC is the other), so this calculator asks for the course score directly rather than guessing at a conversion it has no data for.

TE Score to ATAR

TASC publishes a real TE-score-to-ATAR conversion table every year, rebuilt against that year's cohort — this calculator reads the 2025 table directly, the same way the VCE, HSC, QCE, WACE and SACE/NTCET calculators read theirs.
