Applied Computing: Data Analytics vs Agricultural & Horticultural Studies
What is a good study score in Applied Computing: Data Analytics?
In 2025, a raw 30 in Applied Computing: Data Analytics scaled to 26, raw 40 scaled to 38, and a raw 50 scaled to 50. A scaled mid-30s lands you in the upper third for ATAR contribution. A scaled 40+ in this subject is strong, and 45+ is exceptional.
Does Applied Computing: Data Analytics scale up or down?
Scales down. A 40 raw eases back into the high 30s scaled. You'll need a higher raw for the same ATAR contribution. The 2025 VTAC anchors are listed in the table above. Read how VCE scaling works for what that means in practice for your ATAR.
