Title: Can the school you attend affect your score?

Can the school you attend affect your study/subject(?) score? If it's TAFE and the SACs and assignments are a lot easier than the ones you get in high school

It is put into proportion in relation to your cohort's exam score.

Yeah. If its a lousy school, then you'll get a lousy score. You just gotta work your way up to the number one spot in your school to save your reputation. Otherwise, such is life.

It's supposed to be in proportion, but in actuality going to a better school will help increase your ATAR.

So say if I get top marks in all SACs, and do uber well on the exams...any chance of 45+?

Yes you can still get a 50 providing you are rank 1.

Yep definitely. It is just a lot harder.
