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.
