Tertiary Entrance Rank (TER)
The TER was normally derived from the Tertiary Entrance Score by a mathematical procedure approved by the Academic Board. A TER was also derived for applicants who have taken the normal university entrance qualification akin to the TEE in another state of Australia or in New Zealand or who have the International Baccalaureate Diploma. In these cases the TER was considered equivalent to the Western Australian TER.
It was a number between 99.95 and zero that reports a student's rank position relative to all other students.
The TER (Tertiary Entrance Rank) was replaced by an Australian national standard entrance score, the ATAR, in 2010.

“Every man alone is sincere. At the entrance of a second person, hypocrisy begins. We parry and fend the approach of our fellow-man by compliments, by gossip, by amusements, by affairs. We cover up our thought from him under a hundred folds.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The rank and file have let their servants become their masters and dictators.... Provision should be made in all union constitutions for the recall of leaders. Big salaries should not be paid. Career hunters should be driven out, as well as leaders who use labor for political ends. These types are menaces to the advancement of labor.”
—Mother Jones (1830–1930)
