2014 tertiary entrance year 12 in 2013
2014 TAFE SA entry requirementsTAFE SA courses offered through SATAC have Course Admission Requirements (CAR) which all applicants must meet in order to be eligible for selection. CAR differ according to the level and type of course.
Course Admission Requirements
Courses may be considered competitive if there are limited places available, or non-competitive if all interested and qualified students will be accepted.
There are no CAR for non-competitive Certificate I, II, and III level courses at TAFE SA.
Admission requirements into competitive Certificate I, II, and III level courses vary, and interested applicants are advised to refer to specific course details at www.tafesa.edu.au.
All higher level qualifications including Certificate IV, Diploma and Advanced Diploma courses, whether competitive or non-competitive, have specified entry requirements. These vary by course and may include any of the following:
> satisfactory completion of SACE Stage 2 (or equivalent);
> any completed award at Certificate III level or higher;
> satisfactory achievement in the TAFE SA Assessment of Basic Skills (TABS);
> specific prerequisite subjects or related study.
Information about specific course admission requirements is available at www.tafesa.edu.au.
Selection into competitive TAFE SA courses
Where there are more eligible applicants for a TAFE SA course than there are places available, applicants are ranked in merit order for selection.
The TAFE SA Selection Score is used for this purpose for most SACE students.
The TAFE SA Selection Score is calculated from the scaled scores of the best 40 Stage 2 credits of Tertiary Admissions Subjects (TAS) plus the best outcome from either:
> the score of a third 20 credit TAS or Recognised Studies;
or any two of the following:
> half the score of another 20 credit TAS or Recognised Studies;
> the score of a 10 credit TAS or Recognised Studies;
> the score of another 10 credit TAS or Recognised Studies.
The TAFE SA Selection Score is reported to students in the score range 0–60.0.
Please note:
> scaled scores of 0.0 cannot be counted in the calculation of the TAFE SA Selection Score;
> there is no limit to the number of 10 credit TAS that can contribute to the TAFE SA Selection Score;
> TAFE SA does not use counting restrictions.

2014 university entry requirements
Selection into university courses/programs
Selection is based on both eligibility and rank.
Eligibility allows you to be considered for selection;
rank determines whether you are competitive
enough to be selected.
To be eligible for selection into a
university course/program you must:
> qualify for the SACE/NTCET
> obtain an Australian Tertiary Admission
Rank (ATAR)
> meet any prerequisite subject
requirements for the course/program
The university aggregate and the Australian
Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR)
Your competitiveness in relation to other applicants
for a given university course is based on your
Selection Rank, which is made up of your ATAR plus
any bonuses for which the university deems you
eligible. The ATAR is a rank given to students on a
range from 0 to 99.95 and is calculated from your
university aggregate.
To obtain a university aggregate and
an Australian Tertiary Admission Rank
(ATAR) you must:
> qualify for the SACE/NTCET
> comply with the rules regarding
precluded combinations
> comply with the rules regarding
counting restrictions
> complete at least 80 credits of study in
Tertiary Admissions Subjects (TAS) and
Recognised Studies at Stage 2 in a
maximum of three attempts which need
not be in consecutive years
> of the 80 credits of study a minimum of
60 credits of study must be from 20
credit TAS*
* Normally 10 credit subjects do not count towards this
requirement but some 10 credit subjects in the same
area, when studied in pairs, can substitute for a 20
credit subject. These are called valid pairs. Such
subjects are identified in the table on pages 49-67.
Calculating the university aggregate
The university aggregate is calculated from scaled
scores. These are the numeric measures of your
performance in TAS which are derived from your
grades, and are reported to you out of 20.0 for 20
credit subjects and out of 10.0 for 10 credit
subjects. Please note that if you do not attempt the
publicly assessed component of a TAS (eg an
examination or final recital), you will be given a
scaled score of 0.0.
The university aggregate is calculated from your
best scaled scores from three 20 credit TAS plus the
best outcome from the flexible option, which can
be either:
> the score of a fourth 20 credit TAS or
Recognised Studies;
or any two of the following:
2014 tertiary entrance year 12 in 2013
7
> half the score of a fourth 20 credit TAS or
Recognised Studies;
> the score of a 10 credit TAS or Recognised
Studies;
> the score of another 10 credit TAS or
Recognised Studies;
subject to precluded combination and counting
restriction rules. Subjects with scaled scores of 0.0
can be used in the calculation of the university
aggregate. The subjects used in the calculation can
only come from a maximum of three attempts
which need not be in consecutive years.
Converting the university aggregate to an
Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR)
The university aggregate is converted to an ATAR.
The ATAR is an indicator of how well a particular
student has performed relative to other students. It
is calculated as follows:
> the group of students who may qualify for a
university aggregate in 2013 is called the 2013
cohort.
> For each university aggregate score (in the range
0-80.0) obtained by the students in this cohort,
the percentage of students who obtained that
score or better is calculated. This is known as
calculating the percentile distribution.
> Each score in the range 0-80.0 now has a
corresponding percentile rank in the range 0-100.
For example, if a score of 70.4 or better out of 80.0
has been obtained by 10% of the cohort, the score
of 70.4 will correspond to a percentile rank of 90.0
(100 – 10).
> The 2013 cohort may differ from that of other years
in that it may represent a smaller or larger
percentage of the population of the same age
group. The percentage from the given year is known
as the participation rate. It is calculated using
population statistics obtained from the Australian
Bureau of Statistics and measuring these against the
size of the cohort. If an allowance were not made for
this, the final ATAR would not be comparable from
one year to the next.
> The percentile rank is then adjusted to take
account of the participation rate and the result is
the ATAR.
When the calculations are completed, a student’s
relative position on the ATAR range is unchanged
from the student’s relative position on the
university aggregate range.
It is important to remember that a rank is not a
score and an ATAR cannot be calculated
arithmetically from a university aggregate.
Reporting the university aggregate and ATAR
The university aggregate is reported to students on
a score range of 0-80.0 with intervals of 0.1.
The ATAR is reported to students on a percentile
scale, ie on a range 0-99.95 with intervals of 0.05.
The university aggregate and ATAR are reported
only to students who qualify for the SACE or NTCET.
Important information for prior year
SACE/NTCET students returning to
study in 2015 attempting to obtain or
improve a university aggregate
The universities wish to ensure that all students
obtaining an aggregate in 2015, whether for the
first time or as a result of returning to study, will
compete on the same basis for 2016 university
entry. All students will therefore be subject to the
new rules for the university aggregate.
If you have not obtained an aggregate
by the end of 2014
If, for any reason, you have either not met the
requirements of the SACE or not achieved a
university aggregate by the end of the 2014 clerical
check period (February 2015) you will be subject to
all of the 2015 aggregate rules including the
requirement to present 90 credits (see pages 44-47).
If you obtain an aggregate in 2011, 2012, 2013 or 2014
If you obtain a university aggregate in these years,
your aggregate will have been calculated on 80
credits of study. If you wish to return to your
studies in 2015 or later to improve your university
aggregate, you will need to comply with the new
2014 tertiary entrance year 12 in 2013
8
rules for the university aggregate outlined above
including the requirement to present 90 credits.
Please note, for your aggregate to be recalculated,
you must receive a result in the 2015 results
processing period such as a grade of E- or better
with a scaled score of at least 0.0 in a TAS.
If you do not comply with these rules, a new
university aggregate will not be calculated for you,
but you will still be able to use the university
aggregate and ATAR you obtained prior to 2015 for
university entry.
Prerequisites
Some university courses/programs require students
to have studied one or more specific Stage 2
subjects to a minimum standard in order to be
eligible for selection into the course/program.
These subjects are known as prerequisites.
In order to fulfil a prerequisite subject requirement,
you must obtain a minimum grade of C- or better. The
grade is used (rather than the scaled score) because
the course/program administrators are interested in
how well you performed in the subject itself as
measured against the learning requirements of the
Subject Outline.
Since prerequisites are used to determine eligibility,
not rank, they do not have to contribute to the
university aggregate.
Assumed knowledge
Many university courses/programs recommend
that commencing students have background
knowledge in one or more specified Stage 1 or
Stage 2 subjects or have an identified skill which
will enhance the student’s understanding of the
course/program content. This is known as assumed
knowledge.
Assumed knowledge is not compulsory and is not
used in the selection process for entry to university
courses/programs. Statements of assumed
knowledge are intended purely to assist students in
understanding course/program content and to
allow them to make subject choices which may be
of benefit to them in their future tertiary studies.
University access and bonus points schemes
All three universities in South Australia and Charles
Darwin University in the Northern Territory operate
schemes designed to provide students from
under-represented or educationally disadvantaged
schools or backgrounds with assistance in gaining
access to undergraduate courses/programs. In
addition, the three universities in South Australia
operate subject bonus points schemes for students
who have completed particular subjects at SACE/
NTCET Stage 2 level.
For applicants who are eligible for year 12 bonus
points, SATAC will add the points to the university
aggregate. The year 12 selection rank for the
university or course/program listed as a preference
will then be the ATAR which corresponds to the
revised aggregate.
Selection ranks are university and/or course/
program specific and do not appear on SACE/NTCET
documentation.

Recognised Studies
The SACE Board of South Australia has policies and
procedures to recognise a range of non-SACE
learning that can count towards the SACE/NTCET.
The universities and TAFE SA may also agree to
these studies contributing to the flexible option in
the calculation of the Australian Tertiary Admission
Rank (ATAR) and the TAFE SA Selection Score.
Rules regarding Recognised Studies
The rules agreed to by the universities and TAFE SA
regarding Recognised Studies are outlined in full
on the SATAC website at www.satac.edu.au. The
most important rules are outlined below.
For Recognised Studies to count towards the ATAR
or TAFE SA Selection Score, the following
conditions must be met.
Recognition by the SACE Board
> Studies must be approved by the SACE Board as
counting towards the SACE/NTCET at Stage 2 level.
Nature of Study
> Under normal circumstances only academic
studies or vocational training will be recognised;
life experiences and community involvement will
generally not be recognised.
Level of Study
> Studies must be at the same or higher level as
SACE/NTCET Stage 2 subjects in terms of the AQF.
> VET studies must be completed qualifications at
AQF Certificate III or above.
Significant content overlap
> Studies that have significant overlap with a SACE/
NTCET Stage 2 subject already presented by a
candidate will be considered in the university
aggregate calculation, but in such instances only
one of any overlapping pair will count towards
the final aggregate. SACE subjects and interstate/
International Baccalaureate year 12 subjects in
the same subject area (eg English Studies) are
treated as precluded combinations.
Level of achievement
> In all cases studies will only count towards the
university aggregate provided the candidate has
been assessed at a level that is deemed to be
equivalent to a SACE/NTCET grade of C- or better.
Studies normally able to be counted as Recognised
Studies, but completed in any year following the
year in which the university aggregate and/or TAFE
SA Selection Score has been calculated, cannot be
used to recalculate these scores.
Scaled scores for Recognised Studies
Scaled scores for Recognised Studies are awarded
according to rules approved by the universities and
TAFE SA. For more details visit the SATAC website at
www.satac.edu.au.
Please note that, due to the grading systems used,
it is not possible to achieve a scaled score of 20.0
when some types of year 12 study are counted as
Recognised Studies. This includes the International
Baccalaureate and year 12 qualifications from some
Australian states.
Studies that will not count in the calculation
of the ATAR/TAFE SA Selection Score
Such studies will include:
> any body of study counting for less than 10
credits (including academic subjects);
> learning gained in community developed
programs;
> learning gained through self-directed community
learning;
> Stage 2 exit assessments including 10 credits
given in lieu of one semester of a 20 credit Stage
2 subject;
> individual VET units of competency;
> interstate year 12 subjects that cannot contribute
to the ATAR in their home state.
2014 tertiary entrance year 12 in 2013
13
Procedures for approval of Recognised Studies
The procedures for approval of Recognised Studies
are published on the SATAC website.
Recognised Studies will be dealt with in two ways:
Pre-approved Recognised Studies
The universities and TAFE SA have agreed that the
following studies can be counted as Recognised
Studies subject to the rules for Recognised Studies:
> Higher and Standard Level International
Baccalaureate (IB) subjects;
> specified Australian interstate year 12 subjects
which count towards the ATAR in their home state;
> completed VET awards at Certificate III level and
above;
> university studies which are part of a degree level
course and not of an introductory nature.
Application for Approval for Other Studies
To gain approval for studies that have not been
pre-approved to count as Recognised Studies your
school will, in the first instance, need to gain
permission from the SACE Board for the studies to be
recognised as counting towards the SACE/NTCET at
Stage 2.
Learning recognised by the SACE Board will then be
referred to the universities and TAFE SA for
consideration as Recognised Studies.

How your university aggregate is calculated
60 20
Your scaled scores from three 20 credit Tertiary
Admissions Subjects (TAS) are used.
Normally, 10 credit subjects do not count towards this
requirement but some 10 credit subjects in the same
subject area, when studied in pairs, can substitute for a
20 credit subject. These are called valid pairs. Such
subjects are identified in the table on pages 49 – 67.
Your score for the final 20
credits of study can come from
either your score from:

Ashley has completed subjects which have counting restrictions (2AHE20 and 2AHP20). A maximum of 20 credits from these two subjects can contribute to Ashley’s university aggregate.
Ashley’s total score from his best 60 credits of TAS, excluding subjects in violation of counting restrictions, is: 18.2 + 16.4 + 15.0 = 49.6
Ashley’s best score for his flexible option comes from his Research Project and the score of a 10 credit TAS: 8.4 + 4.0 = 12.4
His university aggregate is therefore: 49.6 + 12.4 = 62.0 (out of 80)
Ashley’s TAFE SA Selection Score is the sum of his best 60 credits of study: 18.2 + 16.4 + 16.0 = 50.6 (out of 60)
Counting restrictions do not apply to the TAFE SA Selection Score.

2016 university entry requirements
Selection into university courses/programs
Selection requirements for 2016 entry to university
courses remain the same as for 2014 and 2015.
Selection is based on both eligibility and rank.
Eligibility allows you to be considered for selection;
rank determines whether you are competitive enough
to be selected.
To be eligible for selection into a university
course/program in 2016 you must:
> qualify for the SACE/NTCET
> obtain an Australian Tertiary Admission
Rank (ATAR)
> meet any prerequisite subject requirements
for the course/program
The university aggregate and the Australian
Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR)
Your competitiveness in relation to other applicants
for a given university course is based on your
Selection Rank which is made up of your ATAR plus
any bonuses for which the university deems you
eligible. The ATAR is a rank given to students on a
range from 0 to 99.95 and is calculated from your
university aggregate. For university entry from 2016
the requirements for calculation of a university
aggregate have been changed.
To obtain a university aggregate and an
Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR)
for entry in 2016 you must:
> qualify for the SACE/NTCET
> comply with the rules regarding
precluded combinations
> comply with the rules regarding
counting restrictions
> complete at least 90 credits of study in
Tertiary Admissions Subjects (TAS) and
Recognised Studies at Stage 2 in a maximum
of three attempts
> of the 90 credits of study a minimum of 60
credits of study must be from 20 credit Tertiary
Admissions Subjects (TAS)* and a maximum of
20 credits can be Recognised Studies
* Normally 10 credit subjects do not count towards this
requirement but some 10 credit subjects in the same
area, when studied in pairs, can substitute for a 20
credit subject.
Calculating the university aggregate
The university aggregate is calculated from scaled
scores. These are the numeric measures of your
performance in TAS which are derived from your
grades, and are reported to you out of 20.0 for 20
credit subjects and out of 10.0 for 10 credit subjects.
Please note that if you do not attempt the publicly
assessed component of a TAS (eg an examination or
final recital), you will be given a scaled score of 0.0.
The university aggregate in 2015 is calculated from
your best scaled scores from a maximum of three
attempts, and from the following:
> Three 20 credit TAS (including valid pairs); plus
> The best outcome from the flexible option, which is
the best 30 credits of scaled scores or scaled score
equivalents from:
> the scaled score of a 20 credit TAS;
> half the scaled score of one or more 20
credit TAS;
4545
2016 tertiary entrance year 10 in 2013
> the scaled score of one or more 10 credit TAS;
> scaled score equivalents for Recognised Studies
to the value of 10 or the maximum of 20 credits;
subject to precluded combination and counting
restriction rules. Subjects with scaled scores of 0.0 can
be used in the calculation of the university aggregate.
The subjects used in the calculation can only come
from a maximum of three attempts which need not
be in consecutive years.
Converting the university aggregate to an
Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR
The university aggregate is converted to an ATAR. The
ATAR is an indicator of how well a particular student
has performed relative to other students. The
calculation of the ATAR for the 2015 student cohort
remains the same as that used for the 2013 and 2014
cohorts (see page 6) but uses a university aggregate
score in the range 0-90.0.
Reporting the university aggregate and ATAR
The university aggregate in 2015 is reported to
students on a score range of 0-90.0 with intervals of 0.1.
The ATAR is reported to students on a percentile scale,
ie on a range 0-99.95 with intervals of 0.05.
The university aggregate and ATAR are reported only
to students who quality for the SACE or NTCET.
How your university aggregate is calculated
60 30
Your scaled scores from three 20 credit Tertiary Admissions
Subjects (TAS) are used.
Normally, 10 credit subjects do not count towards this
requirement but some 10 credit subjects in the same subject
area, when studied in pairs, can substitute for a 20 credit
subject. These are called valid pairs. Such subjects are identified
in the table on pages 49 – 67.
Your score for the flexible option is
the best 30 credits of scaled scores
or scaled score equivalents from:
> the scaled score of a 20 credit TAS;
> half the scaled score of one or
more 20 credit TAS;
> the scaled score of one or more
10 credit TAS;
> scaled score equivalents for
Recognised Studies to the value
of 10 or the maximum of 20
credits.
Your university aggregate is the best possible score calculated from the above
options subject to counting restrictions and precluded combinations.

His university aggregate is therefore: 45.0 + 14.0 = 59.0 (out of 90)
Craig’s TAFE SA Selection Score is the sum of his best 60 credits of study: 18.0 + 15.0 + 12.0 = 45.0 (out of 60)

SACE/NTCET subject tableThe table on the following pages describes
university and TAFE SA entry rules for SACE/NTCET
subjects. It provides information on rules affecting
entry to both the universities and TAFE SA, and
rules affecting entry to university only.
When choosing a pattern of study for tertiary
entrance, you must take into account all of these rules.
Key terms
TAS
TAS, or Tertiary Admissions Subjects, are nominated
by the universities and TAFE SA as the only SACE/
NTCET subjects that can be used in the calculation
of the ATAR or TAFE SA Selection Score.
Precluded combinations
If two subjects are a precluded combination they
cannot both be counted in the calculation of your
ATAR or TAFE SA Selection Score.
Students who have studied Stage 2 subjects before
2011 should note that there are also precluded
combinations that disallow some former SACE/NTCE
and current SACE/NTCET subjects from both counting
towards your ATAR or TAFE SA Selection Score.
The table lists precluded combinations of both
current and former SACE/NTCET subjects.
Can contribute to first 60 credits
for aggregate/ATAR
The universities require that at least 60 credits of
TAS used to calculate your ATAR must come from
20 credit subjects. Normally, 10 credit subjects
won’t count, but some 10 credit subjects when
studied in pairs in the same subject area can
substitute for a 20 credit subject. The table will tell
you which TAS can be used in the 60 credits, and
which 10 credit subjects can form valid pairs.
Counting restrictions
To ensure you study subjects in a variety of areas the
universities place restrictions on the number of
credits in the same study area you you can count
towards the ATAR. The table will advise you if
counting restrictions apply.

ATAR Australian Tertiary Admission Rank
CAR Course Admission Requirements
NTCET Northern Territory Certificate of
Education and Training
SACE South Australian Certificate of
Education
SATAC South Australian Tertiary
Admissions Centre
TAS Tertiary Admissions Subject
Terminology
Assumed Knowledge
Background knowledge in a SACE/NTCET Stage 1 or Stage 2 subject or an identified skill which is expected to enhance a student’s understanding of the content of a given tertiary course/program.
Completion and Successful Completion of Subjects
In the terminology of the SACE, subject Completion
means achieving a grade of E or better at Stage 1 and a
grade of E- or better at Stage 2, while Successful
Completion of a subject means achieving a grade of C or
better at Stage 1 and a grade of C- or better at Stage 2.
Counting Restriction
Counting restrictions are used where it is deemed
desirable to limit the number of credits that can be
counted towards a university aggregate and the ATAR
in a specific subject area. This is to ensure students
study a broad range of subjects. For example, a
subject area might have eight 10 credit subjects
available but the universities might set a counting
restriction of 40 credits meaning only four can ever
count towards the calculation of an ATAR.
Flexible Option
Flexible option refers to the final 20 credits of study contributing to the university aggregate and the TAFE SA Selection Score.
The 20 credits of the flexible option can be met with the scores from additional 10 or 20 credit TAS and/or Recognised Studies (see page 10 for details).
Precluded Combination
Two subjects are a precluded combination if they are
defined by the universities and TAFE SA as having
significant overlap in content. They cannot both count
towards your ATAR or TAFE SA Selection Score.
Prerequisite
A SACE/NTCET Stage 2 TAS subject in which a student must obtain a minimum grade of C- or better in order to be eligible for selection into the course/program for which the prerequisite is nominated.
Recognised Studies
Studies such as International Baccalaureate, interstate
year 12, higher education studies or Vocational
Education and Training (VET) awards approved by the
SACE Board as counting towards the SACE/NTCET and
deemed by the universities and TAFE SA as being
eligible to be included in the calculation of the ATAR
and TAFE SA Selection Score. For Recognised Studies,
scores approved by the universities and TAFE SA will
be used in calculations. Further information on
Recognised Studies is available to schools and
students on the SATAC website.
Scaling
The mathematical process which provides a basis for comparing performance in different SACE/NTCET Stage 2 subjects which have different objectives, content and assessment processes. The ‘raw scores’ are scaled to ensure they are comparable before they are totalled to produce the university aggregate.
Tertiary Admissions Subject (TAS)
A SACE Stage 2 subject which has been approved by
the universities and TAFE SA as providing appropriate
preparation for tertiary studies. Both the universities
and TAFE SA require students to study a minimum
number of credits of TAS to be eligible to receive a
selection score or rank.
