Will everyone know my ATAR? (1 Viewer)

[Flux]

My parents keep hounding me about how ppl can legit just search up my ATAR and get it.
Is that true or can they only see which subjects I got a band 6 in?

nope this is a massive lie
the only publicly available results about you are whether you got a band 6 or not for subjects on the honour roll
your teachers can only see your marks for the subjects they teach, and I believe they may be able to access individual question marks after a while
no one but you and UAC has to know your atar and no one really cares about it after high school
Edit: some schools can use atar calculators though but that won’t give your exact atar and schools won’t give it out (they’re not supposed to or allowed to without your knowledge at least)

So as long as I get into the uni course I want it won't become an intrinsic part of me like the hair on my head that will follow me forever no matter where I go?

No. Atar doesn't define you, especially with a shitty subject like English made mandatory. It would've if it weren't for English though.

The ATAR is between you and UAC. It is confidential and only available to the relevant person. If your parents got a hold of that information, they would be breaking the law. In other words, no, your parents will not be made aware of your ATAR. Yes, band 6 results are publicly available, but as you'll see, band 6 does not tell you of your ATAR. For example, I knew someone who got in the mid 94 range last year without any band 6 marks (admittedly, they did stereotypically 'high scaling subjects). So, as long as you get into your course, it won't come back to bite you.

I'm not sure, but the ATAR Advice Notice is given to all ATAR-eligible candidates. It's literally just your ATAR on a PDF with information about unit contributions.

what does it mean though?

 

[alphxreturns]

what does it mean though?

old way of designating subjects (normal ones are category A, subjects like english studies/construction/retail are category B. before 2025 u needed 8 units of category A subjects to get an atar)

Progress is progress. Now they just need to get rid of shitty English mandate to be in line with Western Australia and South Australia atar rules.

Bro u sound like a broken record go study

 

[gossipgirllll]

then how does the school know the person who got dux?

im pre sure they probably only tell the person who got the highest atar from the cohort?? idk

 

[C2H6O]

then how does the school know the person who got dux?

they find out by asking the students, or they can sometimes predict who gets it using internals and hsc marks. also not all schools choose dux by highest atar

My school does dux based on the person who gets the most 1st in internals, so last yrs dux did cafs, business, eng adv, math std and bio and was first in 4 but she wasnt dux in terms of atar,
the atar dux was 97.95 and was a girl that did 4u math, chem, physics and eng adv but she wasnt acknowledged as dux tho
