Queensland Year 12 graduates have been wrongfully told they were ATAR "ineligible" in a technical blunder that has impacted tens of thousands of students.
The Queensland Tertiary Admissions Centre was conducting an internal test of their ATAR processes overnight when the testing results rolled over to their "live production space".
They have confirmed ATAR notifications were issued to 24,000 Queensland Year 12 students, who may have been told in the notification that they were ATAR ineligible.
QTAC chief executive John Griffiths issued an apology to the Year 12 cohort this morning for the technical error.
