WACE ATAR, scaling & study tools (WA, 2026)
The WACE is Western Australia’s senior certificate. Your ATAR is calculated by TISC from your TEA — the sum of your best four scaled scores, plus 10% bonuses on your best language other than English (LOTE), Mathematics Methods and Mathematics Specialist. These pages explain how that works and how each WA course with published statistics scaled, drawn straight from TISC’s scaling statistics.
