Victoria’s aggregate thresholds
Each row compares the minimum scaled aggregate for the same ATAR across the two cohorts. The thresholds come from the VTAC 2024 aggregate table and the VTAC 2025 aggregate table.
| ATAR | 2024 minimum | 2025 minimum | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| 99.95 | 211.60 | 211.42 | -0.18 |
| 95.00 | 169.54 | 169.85 | +0.31 |

| 80.00 | 135.55 | 135.65 | +0.10 |
| 70.00 | 120.37 | 120.42 | +0.05 |
What the same raw VCE study score became
Both reports show rounded scaled scores for a raw study score of 30. The table shows selected studies with the same code and name in both years. Equal rounded scores can hide smaller changes. See the VTAC 2024 scaling report and VTAC 2025 scaling report.
| Study | 2024 scaled at raw 30 | 2025 scaled at raw 30 |
|---|---|---|
| Biology | 31 | 31 |
| Chemistry | 34 | 34 |
| English | 28 | 28 |
| Mathematical Methods | 35 | 35 |
| Specialist Mathematics | 43 | 43 |
| Karen | 23 | 29 |
