Scaling is the process that adjusts VCE study scores into ATAR subject scores. The Victorian Tertiary Admissions Centre (VTAC) adjusts all VCE study scores to equalise results between studies with stronger cohorts, and those with weaker ones.
In order to calculate the ATAR for HSC students, UAC adjusts students' HSC marks in a process known as scaling. Given the lack of comparability between subjects of different difficulties, the spread of students' marks in each individual subject is adjusted so the mean, the standard deviation and the maximum mark in each course are equivalent.
The ACT Scaling Test (AST), sat by tertiary students, linked a student's ability with the school's mean score in each course and was used to scale students in different courses and schools. UAI scores were not directly equivalent to a percentile rank among those who completed Year 12 (i.e. a UAI of 99 was not equivalent to placing in the top 1% ...

The South Australian Tertiary Admissions Centre (SATAC) is the administrative body that processes tertiary course applications for universities (and other tertiary institutions) in South Australia and the Northern Territory, Australia.
The college offers students over eighty courses of study [7] for the award of the ACT Year 12 Certificate, with students who complete a T (Tertiary) Package able to sit the ACT Scaling Test (AST) to obtain an Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) for admission to university.
Before 1975, all universities in Western Australia had their own application systems and students had to directly apply to them. To simplify this process, the Tertiary Institutions Service Centre (TISC) was founded in December 1975 [2] by the four public universities in Western Australia: The University of Western Australia, Curtin University, Edith Cowan University and Murdoch University.
