| Australian Year 12 |
ATAR 82. Chemistry is required, with specific grade standards aligned with A Level subject requirements. A second science subject is also required; Biology is preferred, but Physics or Mathematics may be accepted as a substitute on a case-by-case basis. To fulfil these A Level standards, specific grade equivalents in the Senior Secondary Certificate of Education (SSCE) are required. Additionally, if the required A Level grade for Chemistry is not met within an acceptable range in the SSCE, a test will be required. |
