Why parents choose us

Real papers. Real results. Less time hunting.

“As a busy dad, I wanted my daughter to practise the way I did because I know it worked and got good results. ATAR Ready saves us hours by giving her real exam questions on the topics she's working on, so she can focus on studying and testing what she knows throughout the semester, especially when she doesn't have time to search for them.

The mock exams are where it comes together. As she practises them, she learns to manage her time, so when she walks into the final, nothing is a shock.”

FAQ

Questions, answered

What is ATAR Ready?

ATAR Ready is a Bring Your Own PDF study platform for Year 12 students across Australia. Download free exam PDFs from your state authority (SCSA, QCAA, VCAA, or NESA), upload them, and study with AI Explain, mock exams, timed practice, drawing tools, and progress tracking. 56+ subjects across 4 states.

How does Bring Your Own PDF work?

Three steps: (1) Download official exam PDFs free from your state authority (SCSA for WA, QCAA for QLD, VCAA for VIC, NESA for NSW). (2) Upload the PDF in ATAR Ready - it is stored locally in your browser using IndexedDB and never leaves your device. (3) Study with interactive tools. Questions are organised by topic and year with AI explanations, timed practice, mock exams, and more.

Which states and subjects does ATAR Ready cover?

ATAR Ready covers 56+ subjects across 4 Australian states: QCE (18 subjects), WACE (24 subjects), VCE (7 subjects), HSC (7 subjects). Practise maths, chemistry, physics, biology, English, accounting, economics and many more - including the latest 2026 exams as soon as they are released by each state authority.

How much does it cost and can I cancel?

ATAR Ready is $49.95 AUD for 12 months of full access, or $19.95 AUD per month with cancel anytime. Both plans include every subject across the 4 states and every feature. There are no per-subject fees.

Is it free to practise past exam papers on ATAR Ready?

The exam PDFs themselves are free - every state authority (SCSA, QCAA, VCAA, NESA) publishes past papers and marking keys free on their official websites. ATAR Ready is a paid study platform starting from $19.95 per month or $49.95 for 12-month access. One price covers every subject and every feature.

Where do I download the official exam PDFs?

The Upload page has direct links to each year's official PDF for every supported subject. You can also go straight to your state authority: SCSA (WA), QCAA (QLD), VCAA (VIC), NESA (NSW). The full source list is on our Copyright & Sources page. ATAR Ready does not re-host PDFs - you bring your own.

Is my uploaded PDF private? Do files leave my device?

Your PDF stays in your browser. It is cached locally using IndexedDB and never uploaded to ATAR Ready's servers. We identify it by a SHA-256 fingerprint to recognise the official paper - the file bytes themselves do not leave your device. Progress and bookmarks sync to your account; the PDF itself is yours alone.

How does AI Explain work and is it accurate?

AI Explain is powered by Google Gemini. Each question is answered with step-by-step reasoning using the marking key as context. Treat it like a well-prepared tutor - strong on mainstream topics, occasionally imperfect on niche edge cases. Always cross-check against the official marking key, which is shown alongside every question.

What devices and browsers does ATAR Ready support?

Desktop Chrome, Edge, Safari, and Firefox. Chrome on Android and Safari on iPad and iPhone (with palm-rejection tuned for iPad drawing). Use landscape mode on tablets for the best experience. Requires a modern browser with JavaScript enabled - legacy Internet Explorer is not supported.

Can I get a refund if ATAR Ready isn't right for me?

Yes - email atar.ready@gmail.com within 7 days of purchase from the address you used to sign up and we will refund you, no questions asked. Monthly subscribers can also cancel anytime via the Stripe billing portal (Manage Subscription in the in-app menu).
