How WACE results are worked out, the dates that matter, choosing courses and planning the final months.

Chapter 01

How the WACE and ATAR work

The School Curriculum and Standards Authority (SCSA) sets the WACE rules. Students need enough C grades across Year 11 and 12, English in both years, four Year 12 ATAR courses or a VET certificate, and the literacy and numeracy standard, met through the OLNA or a strong Year 9 NAPLAN result.

Each ATAR course score combines the school mark and the exam mark equally, after moderation. TISC then scales course scores and adds the best four to build the ATAR, so a strong course your child enjoys often helps more than one chosen for scaling.

Course score
School mark and exam mark count equally
Moderation
School marks are checked against exam results
ATAR

Bonus

Chapter 02

Key dates in the WACE year

Each school publishes an assessment outline for every course, with the weighting and timing of each task, so ask for it early in Term 1. The ATAR exams are set by SCSA and sat at the same time by every student across the state.

Choosing WACE courses

Start with what your child enjoys and does well, then check prerequisites for the university courses they are considering. ATAR courses lead to the ATAR and end with an exam. General courses suit students heading to work, VET or other pathways.

Maths choices matter most. The step from Applications to Methods is real, and Specialist adds a second demanding course on top. Trying real questions from each course with your child is a quicker and fairer test than choosing on scaling alone.

Essential
A General course for practical maths
Applications

Methods
Functions, calculus and probability
Specialist
Vectors and proof, recommended alongside Methods
Chapter 04

When to start and the final months

Year 11 is the calmest time to fix gaps, before Units 3 and 4. In Year 12, weekly lessons work best when they follow the assessment outline: prepare for the next test or investigation, then use the feedback to lift the one after.

After mock exams, the focus shifts to past ATAR exams, sat under timed conditions and marked against the SCSA marking keys. Mock results show which topics need the most time, and every lost mark is reworked before the written exams begin.

Terms 1 and 2
One assessment at a time
Term 3
Mock exams, then fix every weak topic
September holidays

Chapter 05

How Tutero works

Your child keeps the same tutor every week, and lessons start from their own school work and assessment outline. Lessons are 1-on-1, with one tutor per course, and you receive a lesson report after every lesson, so you always know what was covered and what comes next.
