PSAM is a subscription product, and its pricing varies depending on cohort size and the services you need. Please contact us to chat about your requirements.

PSAM uses data from AAS placement tests, NAPLAN tests, State Curriculum Authority reports, University Admission Centre reports and internal school performance data.

Yes – 12 months is our minimum subscription period.

PSAM works for any school delivering the senior state credentials of HSC, VCE, QCE or IB.

Yes – we can provide a 6-month free trial using your own school’s data, which shows firsthand how your can forecast, compare, and influence ATAR results to improve senior students’ outcomes.

Yes, you can create individual logins for staff members, which can be assigned to either of these groups:

• School leaders
• Heads-of-Departments

Yes – users can be assigned to one of two groups, which dictates what reports and data they can access:

• School leaders
• Heads-of-Departments

Typically not, however we may be able to provide a solution depending on your needs. Please contact us for more information.

You can access your PSAM reports via the “Log in” link in the top right of this page, or by going directly to the reporting portal here.

ATAR scaling is the process of adjusting raw subject scores so they can be fairly compared across different senior secondary courses.

Because some subjects attract stronger cohorts or are inherently more competitive, scaling adjusts the marks so a scaled score of 30 in one subject represents the same achievement level as a scaled 30 in another subject. This ensures that the combination of subjects a student takes doesn’t unfairly advantage or disadvantage them in their ATAR calculation.

As part of its analysis and reporting, PSAM does ATAR scaling automatically, giving you clear and actionable insights for each student.

While it’s very difficult to accurately predict students’ ATAR scores, you can use their current performance and known scaling patterns to produce forecasts.

These forecasts are based on historical data and typical scaling behaviour, giving a useful indication of likely results. However, final ATARs depend on actual exam outcomes, cohort performance and yearly variations in scaling, so any prediction should be treated as a strong guide, not a guarantee.

The PSAM platform helps schools turn their assessment data into actionable insights that can influence and improve ATAR outcomes. It does this by:

• Forecasting ATAR and scaled subject results so teachers and students know where to focus study and intervention before final exams.
• Clarifying how subject scaling affects results, helping students and leaders make informed decisions about subject choices and preparation strategies.
• Analysing performance at class, cohort and whole-school levels, so schools can target teaching strategies and curriculum planning where they’ll have the greatest impact
• Providing flexible reports and dashboards that highlight strengths and weaknesses in senior secondary performance, helping teachers prioritise instructional time and individual support.

In short, PSAM turns complex ATAR calculations and scaling data into clear, targeted insights that guide both teaching and learning improvements, contributing to stronger final results.
