Post by: tram on April 02, 2011, 05:28:05 pm

actually thushan won't be able to get one this year (i mean he only perfect'd scored EVERYTHING), you need to have done two maths to get a maths premiers award IRRC

There'll be a few of us around - fuzzylogic will receive at least two, I should hopefully get one for Lit, and Aurelian will get one for Philosophy.

haha, also what's the requirement for the all round achiever award? 45 raw plus for at least five subjects right?
Title: Re: Premiers awards
Post by: m@tty on April 07, 2011, 07:20:47 pm
Nah 46+ raw for five subjects...

And yeah, no premier's for methods alone... He could get bio can't remember how high his exam marks were though.

so what do you generall need in methods and spesh to get a premiers award? Considering he got full marks for methods, or is it based on SS alone.

To anyone who got one, CONGRATULATIONS, but did you just get the one letter today?  it said something about students receiving a separate thing to RSVP to, but I don't seem to have received it.

also, can someone please explain the maths criteria for me-- mine says Specialist Maths, so I'm guessing it's possible to get one just in methods, which would mean thushan could? :D

Hmmm, not sure why this got -3.

But as for what you get, probably a certificate and satisfaction? The awards are so long after the exam and results that they lose much of their appeal, though that's not to say its an honour to get one.

Title: Re: Premiers awards

ATAR isn't used as part of the calculations. Uses individual study scores without scaling.

Are you SURE about that? Is that published anywhere, or just assumed? I got one, and whilst my scores were good enough got 99.95, my raws weren't brilliant among top performers. I know that schools have to nominate students, so perhaps they consider ATAR/outstanding achievement in certain subjects. Olympiad also matters (I know for a fact that medallists automatically receive the prize).
Title: Re: Premiers awards
Post by: sam.utute on April 27, 2011, 10:41:15 pm
Definitely not sure about it lol.

http://vce.atarnotes.com/forum/index.php/topic,16764.0.html

Was just quoting from the above thread. :P

Quote
The order of merit for the award of the prize is based on their Australian Student Prize score. In Victoria, the Australian Student Prize score is calculated by the addition of the Study Scores obtained in the past two years for the best four studies plus ten percent of Study Scores obtained in up to a maximum of two other VCE studies. Extension studies undertaken at University and VET studies may contribute to the score.
Title: Re: Premiers awards
Post by: appianway on April 27, 2011, 10:45:07 pm
Yup, that's what it says on the VCAA website. Hmm, interesting... I wouldn't have thought my raws were strong enough, but oh well.

It was held at the Melbourne Convention Centre on South Wharf. Quite a nice venue. Lots of leftover food though.
