All the States and Territories in Australia produced overall measures of their students’ achievements in a common index that allows for comparisons to be made between each other.
These indexes have different names, but a common rating in most States.
NSW/ACT = UAI
Victoria = ENTER
SA/NT, WA and Tasmania = TER
Each of the above rankings would the equivalent of the same in each of those States. eg: A UAI of 81.55 equals an ENTER of 81.55 and a TER of 81.55.
Queensland uses OP ratings, between 1 and 25, within its own state, but will provide the above ratings for interstate transfers.
