Most of the nation’s 2025 Year 12 students have finally seen their ATAR results, although one state remains eagerly anticipating the outcome.

The Australian Tertiary Admission Rank, or ATAR, is a score ranging from zero to 99.95. It plays a crucial role in helping Year 12 students secure a spot in their desired university programs.

This ranking is achieved by combining the highest scaled marks from subjects, including two units of English and eight additional units, to form an aggregate that positions students relative to their peers.

Each state releases ATAR results on different dates, which can be accessed through the respective state’s or territory’s tertiary admissions center.

Here’s a detailed guide on when and how to check your ATAR score. Remember, all listed times are local.

Results were released at 9am today and can be found on the Universities Admissions Centre (UAC) website. 

Students received an email with a quick link to the ATAR login, which required either their UAC PIN or Year 12 student number.

VCE and ATAR results came out earlier this month via the Victorian Tertiary Admissions Centre (VTAC).

Students were able to access their results at 12pmtoday via the ATAR Portal.

They need their full name, date of birth, LUI number, and personal email ready to set up their ATAR account to log into the portal.

South Australia and the Northern Territory

ATAR results were released at 8.30am on December 15.

Students can view their rank on the South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE) online portal using their registration number and four-digit PIN.

Students can see their ATAR results on December 21.

The Education Department does not specify what time, so it is best to keep checking throughout the day.

They can find it via the School Curriculum and Standards Authority (SCSA) student portal using their student number and password.

Results came out yesterday and were progressively emailed to all students. 

They can also access their ATAR on the Tasmanian Assessment, Standards and Certification (TASC) website.
