Tertiary Entrance Exam

For the examination and curriculum system that replaced the Tertiary Entrance Examination (TEE), see Western Australian Certificate of Education.

The Tertiary Entrance Examination (TEE) was the standard academic examination for secondary students completing their twelfth year of schooling in Western Australia from 1986 to 2009. The TEE replaced the Tertiary Admission Examination (TAE) which ran from 1975 to 1985, and prior to 1975 the matriculation examinations. TEE results were used to determine the Tertiary Entrance Rank and the Tertiary Entrance Score. These metrics were used to determine eligibility for entrance to the tertiary institutions in the state.

In 2010, 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). All previous TEE courses and corresponding examinations were converted to the WACE curriculum, and the TER (Tertiary Entrance Rank) was replaced with the Australian national standard entrance score, the ATAR.
