The TER or Tertiary Education Rank is used by students applying for tertiary courses.  It is calculated as a percentile ranking of students using their Tertiary Entrance Scores (see TTES).  Thus a TER of 90 would mean that the student was in the top 10% of the age cohort.

The TTES or Tasmanian Tertiary Entrance Score is calculated by adding the best five Level 5 TCE subject scores, of which a maximum of two can be selected from Year 11.
