Most senior students undertake some form of extra revision during the holidays to give themselves every chance to succeed.
ATAR is still important
Final ATAR results are still important as:
-
final offers are made on actual rather than estimated ATAR results.
-
courses with lots of applicants for limited places will offer those places to the students with the highest ATAR scores.
-
academic scholarships are usually based on ATAR results.
Many schools offer revision programs
-
Your school newsletter will identify revision programs or additional support that your school will be offering.
-
You can often find semi retired teachers, who have been expert advisors on exam content and style, who are available as tutors. Ask at your front office if they have a list of available tutors.
-
Some of the best programs are offered by subject specialists who advise on the style and subjects of the exams. Ask your specialist ATAR teachers if there will be an ATAR Exam Information session on their subject.
Private Providers
Several organisations specialise in tutoring students in preparation for ATAR, OLNA or NAPLAN exams.

The Exam Experts
Nailing the ATAR and getting the results you are hoping for isn’t necessarily about being the smartest kid in the class. It’s about being well-prepared, knowing what to focus on and understanding what questions are most likely to come up in the exams and how to answer them.
With the help of T.E.E. Consultants’ July holiday intensive exam revision program, Year 12 students can access ten hours of additional teaching per subject, to truly understand the course curriculum and perform better in exam conditions.
Students are invited to enrol in up to five subjects in Week One of the July holiday period. Country students can access heavily discounted, full board accommodation packages which offer safe, secure, supervised accommodation on-site for regional students who enrol in at least three subjects.
Courses are run at UWA and at Murdoch.
