If you have complete or partial results from the Queensland Senior External examination, contact QTAC to estimate your selection rank.
For NCEA (Level 3) results completed in New Zealand, you can contact QTAC for an assessment of your qualifications to estimate your selection rank. QTAC will complete an assessment of your qualifications as part of your application.
We also accept overseas Year 12 qualifications. Contact HiQ at askqut@qut.edu.au or on 3138 2000 for more information. Sub-Year 12 qualifications (e.g. O Levels) are not acceptable for tertiary entrance and will not be allocated a selection rank.
You may also have selection ranks from VET, higher education study, past school results or paid work experience. Past school and post-secondary results don't expire when you've finished studying, and you can use them to get into uni for many years afterwards. We’ll generally use your best selection rank when considering your application.

- Singapore-Cambridge General Certificate of Education (Advanced Level) (Level H1=AS Level; Level H2=A Level)
Qualifications deemed to be comparable with GCE A Level where A is the maximum graded awarded (ie A* grade is not used) cannot be assessed on these schedules.
Advanced Level: ranks are calculated on the basis that A*=6, A=5, B=4, C=3, D=2, E=1 and must include results in not more than three subjects at Advanced Level or the equivalent comprising a combination of Advanced, Advanced in Applied subjects, Advanced Subsidiary, and Advanced Subsidiary in Applied subjects.
Where results in the same subject are awarded at both Advanced and Advanced Subsidiary level, only one result in the subject will be counted in the aggregate, and this shall be the result that contributes the highest points value to the aggregate.
Advanced Subsidiary level results may be included in the aggregate and contribute the equivalent of half of a subject taken at Advanced Level A=2.5, B=2, C=1.5, D=1, E=0.5.
A Level in Applied subjects/AS Level in Applied subjects: ranks are calculated on the following basis:
- A Level in Applied subjects (Double Award) [12 units]: the sum of the two letter grades where: A*=6, A=5, B=4, C=3, D=2, E=1.
- A Level in Applied subjects [6 units]: A*=6, A=5, B=4, C=3, D=2, E=1.
- AS Level in Applied subjects (Double Award) [6 units]: the sum of the two letter grades where A=2.5, B=2, C=1.5, D=1, E=0.5.
- AS Level in Applied subjects [3 units]: A=2.5, B=2, C=1.5, D=1, E=0.5.
Cambridge Pre-U Principal subjects & Global Persepectives and Independent Research Report (GPR): D1,D2=6, D3=5, M1,M2=4, M3=3, P1=2, P2,P3=1.

These qualifications are issued to candidates who are identified and registered as having special education needs where: 7 = 80-100%; 6 = 70-79%; 5 = 60-69%; 4 = 50-59%; 3 = 40-49%; 2 = 30-39%; 1 = 0-29%
Converting your results to a selection rank
You may be able to work out your own selection rank based on your past OP, IBD studies or other secondary study. You can then compare it with the current ATAR/selection rank threshold of your preferred course to see if you're likely to be eligible for entry.
If you have complete or partial results from the Queensland Senior External examination, contact QTAC to estimate your selection rank.
For NCEA (Level 3) results completed in New Zealand, you can contact QTAC for an assessment of your qualifications to estimate your selection rank. QTAC will complete an assessment of your qualifications as part of your application.
We also accept overseas Year 12 qualifications. Contact HiQ at askqut@qut.edu.au or on 3138 2000 for more information. Sub-Year 12 qualifications (e.g. O Levels) are not acceptable for tertiary entrance and will not be allocated a selection rank.
You may also have selection ranks from VET, higher education study, past school results or paid work experience. Past school and post-secondary results don't expire when you've finished studying, and you can use them to get into uni for many years afterwards. We’ll generally use your best selection rank when considering your application.

- Singapore-Cambridge General Certificate of Education (Advanced Level) (Level H1=AS Level; Level H2=A Level)
Qualifications deemed to be comparable with GCE A Level where A is the maximum graded awarded (ie A* grade is not used) cannot be assessed on these schedules.
Advanced Level: ranks are calculated on the basis that A*=6, A=5, B=4, C=3, D=2, E=1 and must include results in not more than three subjects at Advanced Level or the equivalent comprising a combination of Advanced, Advanced in Applied subjects, Advanced Subsidiary, and Advanced Subsidiary in Applied subjects.
Where results in the same subject are awarded at both Advanced and Advanced Subsidiary level, only one result in the subject will be counted in the aggregate, and this shall be the result that contributes the highest points value to the aggregate.
Advanced Subsidiary level results may be included in the aggregate and contribute the equivalent of half of a subject taken at Advanced Level A=2.5, B=2, C=1.5, D=1, E=0.5.
A Level in Applied subjects/AS Level in Applied subjects: ranks are calculated on the following basis:
- A Level in Applied subjects (Double Award) [12 units]: the sum of the two letter grades where: A*=6, A=5, B=4, C=3, D=2, E=1.
- A Level in Applied subjects [6 units]: A*=6, A=5, B=4, C=3, D=2, E=1.
- AS Level in Applied subjects (Double Award) [6 units]: the sum of the two letter grades where A=2.5, B=2, C=1.5, D=1, E=0.5.
- AS Level in Applied subjects [3 units]: A=2.5, B=2, C=1.5, D=1, E=0.5.

Converting your results to a selection rank
You may be able to work out your own selection rank based on your past OP, IBD studies or other secondary study. You can then compare it with the current ATAR/selection rank threshold of your preferred course to see if you're likely to be eligible for entry.
If you have complete or partial results from the Queensland Senior External examination, contact QTAC to estimate your selection rank.
For NCEA (Level 3) results completed in New Zealand, you can contact QTAC for an assessment of your qualifications to estimate your selection rank. QTAC will complete an assessment of your qualifications as part of your application.
We also accept overseas Year 12 qualifications. Contact HiQ at askqut@qut.edu.au or on 3138 2000 for more information. Sub-Year 12 qualifications (e.g. O Levels) are not acceptable for tertiary entrance and will not be allocated a selection rank.
You may also have selection ranks from VET, higher education study, past school results or paid work experience. Past school and post-secondary results don't expire when you've finished studying, and you can use them to get into uni for many years afterwards. We’ll generally use your best selection rank when considering your application.

- Singapore-Cambridge General Certificate of Education (Advanced Level) (Level H1=AS Level; Level H2=A Level)
Qualifications deemed to be comparable with GCE A Level where A is the maximum graded awarded (ie A* grade is not used) cannot be assessed on these schedules.
Advanced Level: ranks are calculated on the basis that A*=6, A=5, B=4, C=3, D=2, E=1 and must include results in not more than three subjects at Advanced Level or the equivalent comprising a combination of Advanced, Advanced in Applied subjects, Advanced Subsidiary, and Advanced Subsidiary in Applied subjects.
Where results in the same subject are awarded at both Advanced and Advanced Subsidiary level, only one result in the subject will be counted in the aggregate, and this shall be the result that contributes the highest points value to the aggregate.
Advanced Subsidiary level results may be included in the aggregate and contribute the equivalent of half of a subject taken at Advanced Level A=2.5, B=2, C=1.5, D=1, E=0.5.
A Level in Applied subjects/AS Level in Applied subjects: ranks are calculated on the following basis:
- A Level in Applied subjects (Double Award) [12 units]: the sum of the two letter grades where: A*=6, A=5, B=4, C=3, D=2, E=1.
- A Level in Applied subjects [6 units]: A*=6, A=5, B=4, C=3, D=2, E=1.
- AS Level in Applied subjects (Double Award) [6 units]: the sum of the two letter grades where A=2.5, B=2, C=1.5, D=1, E=0.5.
- AS Level in Applied subjects [3 units]: A=2.5, B=2, C=1.5, D=1, E=0.5.

Converting your results to a selection rank
You may be able to work out your own selection rank based on your past OP, IBD studies or other secondary study. You can then compare it with the current ATAR/selection rank threshold of your preferred course to see if you're likely to be eligible for entry.
If you have complete or partial results from the Queensland Senior External examination, contact QTAC to estimate your selection rank.
For NCEA (Level 3) results completed in New Zealand, you can contact QTAC for an assessment of your qualifications to estimate your selection rank. QTAC will complete an assessment of your qualifications as part of your application.
We also accept overseas Year 12 qualifications. Contact HiQ at askqut@qut.edu.au or on 3138 2000 for more information. Sub-Year 12 qualifications (e.g. O Levels) are not acceptable for tertiary entrance and will not be allocated a selection rank.
You may also have selection ranks from VET, higher education study, past school results or paid work experience. Past school and post-secondary results don't expire when you've finished studying, and you can use them to get into uni for many years afterwards. We’ll generally use your best selection rank when considering your application.

Qualifications deemed to be comparable with GCE A Level where A is the maximum graded awarded (ie A* grade is not used) cannot be assessed on these schedules.
Advanced Level: ranks are calculated on the basis that A*=6, A=5, B=4, C=3, D=2, E=1 and must include results in not more than three subjects at Advanced Level or the equivalent comprising a combination of Advanced, Advanced in Applied subjects, Advanced Subsidiary, and Advanced Subsidiary in Applied subjects.
Where results in the same subject are awarded at both Advanced and Advanced Subsidiary level, only one result in the subject will be counted in the aggregate, and this shall be the result that contributes the highest points value to the aggregate.
Advanced Subsidiary level results may be included in the aggregate and contribute the equivalent of half of a subject taken at Advanced Level A=2.5, B=2, C=1.5, D=1, E=0.5.
A Level in Applied subjects/AS Level in Applied subjects: ranks are calculated on the following basis:
- A Level in Applied subjects (Double Award) [12 units]: the sum of the two letter grades where: A*=6, A=5, B=4, C=3, D=2, E=1.
- A Level in Applied subjects [6 units]: A*=6, A=5, B=4, C=3, D=2, E=1.
- AS Level in Applied subjects (Double Award) [6 units]: the sum of the two letter grades where A=2.5, B=2, C=1.5, D=1, E=0.5.
- AS Level in Applied subjects [3 units]: A=2.5, B=2, C=1.5, D=1, E=0.5.
