ranking

[A-i-d-a-n-K]

At our school the teachers didn't tell us where we were ranked, you can obviously find out by comparing results with others if you have a small cohort, but I think it is better not to know. At the end of the day, the better you do on your exam, the better study score you will get. There is no point getting hung up on the "maximum" and "minimum" you can achieve due to SAC grades, the past is the past. Once you have done them, don't worry about rankings or SACs - just smash the exam.

As dc pointed out, SAC's only contribute to 33% (for the maths/science subjects at least).

The quartile rumour is just stupid. That would imply that if a strong cohort decided to not show up to their exam, you would automatically receive a 0 atar score, no matter how hard you tried.
