@sortius I'm confused by this entire paragraph though!! Weren't ATAR / UAI / TER "scores" supposed to replace scores with ranks? That's why we went from TES to TER — it's in the name.

Of course, none of the old ones offered a year-to-year analysis. Is that actually implicit in the design now?

(My year 11 computing studies project was an actual database simulator and calculator of HSC -> TES -> TER scaling and ranking)

@ckent each state has their own scores, that are then converted into the tertiary entrance rank. You get the same from Open Foundation and the like, despite not getting a high-school level rank.

I'm not sure exactly how they do the calculations, but, yeh, TER weighted year on year, but ATAR and the like aren't
