ATARs released today

2023 NSW HSC students will find out their Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) today.

Students can view their ATAR from 9am. They’ll receive an email with a quick link to the ATAR login. If they’re a UAC applicant they’ll also receive the link via SMS, or they can also access their ATAR directly on UAC’s website. They'll need their NESA student number and UAC PIN to log in.

Students will also be able to access and store their ATAR in the free digital wallet, CredFolio.

Facts about the 2023 ATAR

• 55,523 students were eligible for an ATAR. This is 1,215 more than in 2022.
• 49 students received the top ATAR of 99.95. Of these students, 12 were female and 37 were male; they came from a mix of government and non-government schools and studied a wide range of courses. The list of courses studied by candidates awarded an ATAR of 99.95 contained 37 different courses out of the 116 courses offered.
• 17.5 per cent of students received an ATAR of 90.00 or above, 35 per cent received an ATAR of at least 80.00 and 51.8 per cent received an ATAR of at least 70.00.
• The median ATAR this year was 71.05, slightly lower than in 2022. To achieve a middle ATAR, students generally need to be in the middle of their courses and receive HSC marks between 70 and 80. However, because of the large percentage of students with marks between 70 and 80, the ATARs of students with HSC marks around 80 will often be very different from the ATARs of students with HSC marks around 70.
• The median ATAR for females was 71.90, whereas the median ATAR for males was 70.00.

Students with questions about their ATAR can call UAC’s ATAR Enquiry Centre on (02) 9119 5012 on the following days:
