Unacceptable Course Combinations

There are a number of unacceptable course combinations in relation to the calculation of the Tertiary Entrance Aggregate:

  • Chemistry and Integrated Science
  • Physics and Integrated Science
  • No more than two of Mathematics and Mathematics Specialist courses

If both these subjects are taken, only one can be included in the ATAR.

The calculation of a student’s Tertiary Entrance Aggregate does not have to include one of the English-based courses and is independent of his/her achieving the WACE or competence in English.
