Title: How did your cohort go?
Post by: cltf on December 16, 2011, 08:20:26 am
You don't have to mention your school name if you don't want to. Talk about how strong you think they were, did they influence you score for better or worst? etc.

So Ii went to Camberwell Grammar. We had an incredible strong cohort this year. And it sure kicked in with the English moderation of SACs.

MHS, 3 99.95s so far (thanks to isafa and samad from VN!). It seems that all our SACS for asian 5 scaled huge, so that was awesome :)

Title: Re: How did your cohort go?
Post by: Pe_me on December 16, 2011, 11:02:24 am
People have to remember that it's the whole cohort that counts, and although 7*99.95 or 40% above 95 looks good, its the cohort as a whole that should reflect a schools success, and they used this fact to rank the schools in the newspaper. If your bottom half of your schools cohort performed not as well, then the results will reflect this. Perhaps that is why Grammar's median atar is relatively low to their great success in the upper atar ranks.
Nonetheless congrats to people who scored this highly, what I said before takes nothing away from such an amazing achievement!

Post by: Special At Specialist on December 16, 2011, 11:09:46 am
If the top 55% of people score amazingly well and the bottom 45% of people fail miserably, then the median atar will still be extremely good, right?
I thought the "median" was only how the middle student performed?
It's not like the average...

Pretty much, it's why b^3 picked median, because extreme values don't affect it as much as it would if it were a mean score, like if someone had an atar of 15, it would just bring the median value down one, say from 99.60, to 99.55, whereas mean would destroy that value and bring it down a lot.

50% of VCE students received an ATAR of over 80 and 24% over 90. Dux "only" got 98.65 (still a bloody good score). Our school does offer IB though, which would possibly have take some stronger students from VCE, so aren't counted in the statistics. Usually (mass generalisation here, there are plenty of exceptions) the better students who do a language take IB.

Yeah not so well in the upper end though lol. Only 2 people over 99, 36% over 95. We had a very small cohort though

that's still amazing! and wow! 36% over 95 is really good!! considering that's the top 5% of the state

my school would have gotten probably around the 15% mark over 95 :S

I read that too, it was a typo, supposed to be 13 not 33. A great effort nonetheless, with 60+ students scoring higher than 90. One of my friends was the proxime accessit at McKinnon (99.90), I'm very happy for him.

I think he was just trying to say that it would have been quite easy for MHS to perform "worse" than previous years because instead of losing one of the perfect scores had one gone to a different school they would have lost 2, because in all probability they would both go to the same school. Interesting, though  ;)
