VCE Scaling Calculator

Enter a raw study score to see its approximate scaled score, and how every subject scales at the same raw. Estimates from recent VTAC patterns — for understanding scaling, not chasing it.

Don't pick subjects on scaling alone. Scaling changes only a little year to year, and doing well in a subject you're strong at almost always beats struggling in a “high-scaling” one you dislike. Use this to understand your scores — not to chase them.
