In 2010,[1] the Western Australian Certificate of Education (WACE) was introduced as an umbrella term given to the set of final examinations that are completed by the majority of Year 12 students, replacing the TEE (Tertiary Entrance Exam).
The TER was normally derived from the Tertiary Entrance Score (TES) by a mathematical procedure approved by the Academic Board[specify].
For applicants who took university entrance qualifications equivalent to the TEE in another state of Australia, in New Zealand or who obtained the International Baccalaureate Diploma, a TER was also derived.
[citation needed] In 2008, the TES was a score out of 510 (during 2009, out of 400), calculated on the basis of a person's TEE exam results.
Prior to 1998, 500 marks came from the average of a minimum of 4 subjects, while the remaining 10 came from the Australian Scholastic Aptitude Test (ASAT) score.
