How Hebrew scaled in 2024

This subject's candidature was small in 2024 (fewer than 50 students), so TISC does not publish percentile data — only the mean, SD, min, and max. The scaled-score figures below should be read with the small-sample caveat in mind.

The scaled-score scale in WA is 0–100, with the cohort-wide mean across all subjects sitting around 60 by construction. A subject with a scaled mean above 60 had a candidature performing above the WACE-wide average; below 60 means the average student in this subject performed below the WACE-wide average. Note that this is the scaled mean across the course's candidature, not a measure of conceptual difficulty.

Tutor rate context for Hebrew

Subject complexity classification: moderate — accredited-tutor premium. Based on our subject-complexity model, this subject typically carries a +8% adjustment to the base AU tutor rate band — partly because of the qualified-tutor pool size, partly because of subject-specific marking and exam complexity.

What this means for ATAR planning

In WA, the Tertiary Entrance Aggregate (TEA) is formed from your best 4 scaled scores, with a 10% bonus added to scaled scores in Mathematics Methods, Mathematics Specialist, and LOTE subjects (highest LOTE only). The maximum aggregate in 2024 was 430.

• Hebrew scaled to a mean of 57.7 — around the WACE average.
• Strong individual results in subjects with lower scaled means can still produce strong scaled scores — look at the P90 row, not just the mean, before deciding a subject is "weak" for ATAR.

Caveats specific to Hebrew

• This is 2024 data. TISC recalculates scaling each year.
• Sample size is small (n=5), so the mean and SD are less stable than for larger-candidature subjects.
• WACE scaled scores are NOT directly comparable across states. NSW and VIC use a 0-50 scale; QLD and WA use 0-100. Cross-state comparisons need to be normalised by scale.
• The WACE Maths Methods / Specialist / LOTE 10% bonus applies after scaling, only when the bonused subject is one of your top 4.
