I was wondering if anyone knew how to do the study score analysis like Cuppa had done for the previous two years? ---> http://vcenotes.com/forum/index.php/topic,1415.msg19758.html#msg19758
There's karma in it for whoever can do it... ;)

Hehe, don't worry Odette, you always get karma from me anyways. :P

I'm just too good lol...
Would be good if someone does make a study score analysis for '08 though :D

You're the best. :)
Hehe, whoever does it will get the first karma from me. :P (Or maybe not, but still karma nevertheless. :))
-
yes someone make something like this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Speaking of... Odette, ur karma has shot thru the roof the last couple of days! XD
-
I dont know what you mean analysis. I mean all the results (ENTER and SS) of most members are provided i dont know what more analysis we could do. I say we just leave it there. ???
-
I could probably do it if I had shitloads of spare time.
I just have to revise my string manipulations in Java, or whip out some old programs I had that did exactly this but for a business venture I'm involved in.
-
Yes, if somebody could do this, I would love them for life :D
-
If someone does this I will + karma them for the rest of their life.

do it excal you'd be the man of Vn for 08. 100+ve karams coming your way

Urgh, I'll (begrudgingly) install the JDK again when I get home and see what I can do...
edit: Ahmad knows Java better than I do though!
-
I still have my program from last time, so I'll upload a RAR with this year's info as soon as I can be bothered copying down the lists from the Herald Sun website. If you're lucky I'll get it done tonight.

EVERYONE START POSITIVE KARMA-ING HIM AS MOTIVATION TO GET IT DONE ASP :D :D

I knew it would go to your email!!
THANKS!!!

That would be fantastic and much appreciated.
-
it looks like something VB could do :P but i don't have time these few days, and I don't have visualstudio installed right now, gar!
it might be something that can be chucked in to a [massive] excel spreadsheet. probably not a wise idea though as the file size would get ridiculous, and the time it takes to open the file would be tedious....
-

Publish the code so that we can use it in case you disappear for whatever reason :D
(there are a number of Java developers on this site as well, including myself and Ahmad)

Java (and the other C++ family of languages, with appropriate libraries) is somewhat superior to VB in terms of string manipulation, in my opinion.

if it gets the job done, i really don't see the need to classify superiority
-
Okay, that was tedious. Next time I'm going to make a scraper to automate copying the lists from the Herald Sun website.
Anyway, here is a RAR containing all the data from 2006-2008: http://www.quppa.net/ (updated)
Remember not to read too much into the 'rankings'. School populations and scaling are not taken into account, and of course some people opt not to have their results published.
I should note that there are 3 scores missing from the file: the Herald Sun's pages for Bosnian, Indo FL and Portuguese weren't published correctly. Perhaps someone with a hard copy of the paper could tell me what the scores should be.
Also, what's 'Music (VCE VET)'? No such subject is listed on the VCAA website.

AWESOME LOVE U

Too awesome!!! :D

Stupid Rapidshare...
I've uploaded it to http://www.quppa.net/
-
Cuppa - mind sharing the source? :)
-
Wow! Nice work!
One thing though - how come the LOTE Chinese Second Language and LOTE Chinese Second Language Advanced information are the same? I think you missed the Second Language (not Advanced) section... ;D
Other than that, great job =p
-
Really grateful for that Cuppa, it makes things a lot easier!
-
My computer wont open.
Says cant find file type or something? Im so not a computer person HELP!

You're right, sorry about that. I've uploaded a corrected version (http://www.quppa.net/). Please tell me if you find any other errors.
My computer wont open.

You will need a program like WinRAR or 7-zip or WinZIP to open the RAR file. 7-zip is free, so you might as well use that.
Was it my pm that brought you back :P
I knew it would go to your email!!
Yep :P
Cuppa - mind sharing the source? :)
Maybe, but it's not the best code :P
If I hadn't already written it, I would just stick the data into a database and run some queries on it to produce the same set of lists. That probably would have been simpler.

Cuppa - I have a badge that says 'Real Programmers don't document - if it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.'

Woot for being 32nd student :P (yay for raw scores)

Speaking of... Odette, ur karma has shot thru the roof the last couple of days! XD
I know! I don't even know why lol... maybe this whole being nice thing is finally paying off :D

Yay 2748th by totals.
and 2293rd by scores.
-
Not even there! :S... Damn legal and Italian...
-
great, thankyou!
but politics is missing from the "by subject" folder?
-
More karma than posts!! :D
Congratulations Cuppa, and thank-you! ^_^
-
but politics is missing from the "by subject" folder?
I called the two Politics subjects 'International Politics - International Studies' and 'International Politics - National Politics'.
-
hahaha oops, i thought i was probably just missing it but i gave up trying to find it :-[
-
YAY! our class is number one :)
-
More karma than posts!! :D
Congratulations Cuppa, and thank-you! ^_^
Lolz, I noticed that too! :p
-
Okay, this will hopefully be the last correction: http://www.quppa.net/
This version includes the 3 scores from Bosnian, Indonesian FL and Portuguese that were left out because the website published them without a number. It will have very little effect on rankings.
-
@Excalibur: I cleaned up the source code a little bit and uploaded it: http://www.quppa.net/studyscores.html
Very little documentation, sorry (there's not much code, though). I decided to change it to use hash tables instead of a simple array, which ended up cutting down the processing time from about 1 minute on my machine to about 10 seconds. Great success~ (I still think database queries would be easier...)

...Holy crap. Are my eyes deceiving me, or is that a 99.95 with four subjects?
-
well this person would likely have done methods last year considering they got 45 in spesh
I don't think that was the point :P
If you look at the aggregate, which is around 211 according to '07 scaling, that's 99.95 right there. Crazy scores with two of the hardest languages available in VCE.

I found a website which ranks schools based on VCE/VET/VCAL results (http://bettereducation.com.au/Results/VCE2008Results.aspx) and other aspects (http://bettereducation.com.au/SchoolRanking.aspx).

Quick skim over the code and it looks like it's better documented than anything I'd do for myself...
(and least you haven't put the entire program on one line or just simply removed all whitespace altogether...)
I'll just use some tools I have to parse the code and give me a class diagram that'll help me make sense of the classes you've used - but I sort of get the gist anyway.

public static void readSubjects() throws Exception {
String dataDir = rootdir + year + "\\Subjects";
File subjectDir = new File(dataDir);
// list of subjects
File[] subjectList = subjectDir.listFiles();
subjects = new Subject[subjectList.length];
subjectSchools = new SchoolListHT[subjectList.length];
System.out.println("Reading data files (" + dataDir + ")...");
long startreadtime = System.currentTimeMillis();
for(int i=0;i<subjectList.length;i++) { ... }
My understanding is that this snippet of code (including the for loop) reads from a folder of source data files and names the Subject based on the file's name which is presumably in the format "Subject Name 3/4", hence:
studyName = studyName.substring(0,studyName.length()-4);
I'm curious to know by what method you used to grab the data files off the Herald Sun website? Was it by hand?

I did do it by hand, I'm afraid. It's easily the most tedious part about the whole process, and when I can be bothered I intend to make an automated scraper to do it for me for future years.
-
I'm not sure if this will interest many people here, but someone kindly sent me data from 1998 and 2000-2005. The archive now contains 10 years' worth of info, which I think is pretty cool.
http://www.quppa.net/studyscores.html
Now I can forget about this for another year...

Gunna be a major stalkfest with the old data.

It doesn't work for me :(

Do you have 7-zip or WinRAR installed?
