Title: How do you get a Premier's Award?
Post by: Special At Specialist on November 29, 2011, 11:36:44 pm
Why is it that some people who get a perfect 50 study score don't get a Premier's Award? How do you get a Premier's Award? What percentage of students that get a 50 study score get a Premier's Award as well? What does the Premier's Award signify?

Ohh yeah, good question...I need some answer as well..
But basically it is not 50 will defs get premier award as
50 is a ranking which will have many ppl with slightly different score
getting 50..so the top 5 in victoria for the 50(which means best score of 50)
will get it..not everyone in 50 can get it though..that's what I thought..
do correct me if I'm wrong..thanks.

So if 10 people get a 50: 5 of them score 100% on everything and the other 5 score 99% on one assessment and 100% on everything else, only the 5 that scored 100% on everything will get a Premier's Award?

Yep, it's the top score..it is not five as it depends how  many students are doing that subjects,
foe example Methods, Methods has so many ppl scoring 50 but actually their marks will be different
for the SAC and exams..and since so many ppl are doing methods and score 50 then 10 ppl will get the premier award..
for business management , it will be like 2-3.

You can get a prems with a 49 (defs) or even 48 (i think) in some of the smaller studies.
also 47 can get you one. A guy in my school got 47 in vet music industry technical production and got one. Just as long as you are in the top 5 or the top person in some really small studies which only one person can get.

In larger subjects such as Psych (16 000 ppl) you must have a 50 and the top5 generally get Premier's.

do you think this would qualify for one?
Sacs: 100%
Exam 1: 40/40
Exam 2: 58.5-59/60

Or would it be all perfect scores since further is so competetive?

Since further is so competitive I'd say only 40/40 and 60/60 would be likely to get a Premier's unfortunately.
