WACE Scaling: TISC Scaled Means and Marks Adjustment
WACE scaling puts course results on a common scale for tertiary admission. TISC publishes several different statistics: means, percentiles and distributions. The figures here are verified course mean scaled scores, not conversions from a raw mark of 60.

From school and examination marks to scaled scores
Marks adjustment includes moderation of school assessments, combination with examination results, standardisation and scaling. Use TISC's Marks Adjustment Process for the stages and course-specific details. A course mean summarises its cohort; it does not tell an individual student how many marks they will gain or lose.
WACE subject guides and verified historical figures
This covers the 25 Year 12 subjects in our WACE catalogue, not every course offered by the authority. Historical figures do not guarantee future scaling.
Common questions
Does a mean scaled score tell me what my raw mark becomes?
No. A mean is a cohort average. Your scaled result depends on your result and the scaling process, not on assigning the course mean to you.
Where can I see more than a course average?
TISC's annual statistics include distributions and percentile tables. Read their cohort definitions and small-population exclusions before comparing courses.
