25.01.2022 IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM QTAC: Overnight QTAC conducted internal testing of our ATAR processes ahead of the statewide release on Saturday 19 December. Regretfully..., testing of the release information rolled out into our live production space which issued ATAR notifications to 24 000 Queensland Year 12 students. As there is no data currently in the system, students may have received a notification that they are ATAR ineligible. QTAC CEO Dr John Griffiths says QTAC acknowledges this technical error and deeply apologises to our Year 12 cohort, this has no doubt caused additional anxiety during what has already been a trying year for our school community. Dr Griffiths added, We receive the Year 12 result file from the QCAA on Monday, which is when the actual calculation of the Queensland ATAR begins, we are on track for official release on Saturday 19 December Below is the timeline of events for the next seven days. QTAC ATAR Release Monday 14 December QTAC receives the Year 12 result file from QCAA Tuesday 15 December QTAC performs inter-subject scaling process Wednesday 16 December QTAC checks and validates data Thursday 17 December QTAC calculates the ATAR Friday 18 December QTAC loads the ATAR into the Portal Saturday 19 December ATAR Release An email communicating the above will be sent to those directly affected. https://www.qtac.edu.au//up/2020/12/ATAR-Testing-Error.pdf
