hey guys :)
i live in WA, all the way n the other side of the country to you guys...i was looking at university pre-reqs and they are all in study scores...i was wandering for a person in WA, here we just get weighted course averages at the end of the year in a percentage...how would i convert my percentages to study scores? or what would generally a specific study score be as a percentage?
i would appreciate it if someone could shed some light my way :D

Thankyou :)

Here is Vic study scores are a bell curve. The top 1% get 50SS, the bottom 1% get 1SS. Average gets 30SS.

Have a look at this thread: Percentages of how many people get each study score!

Doesn't each subject have a different SD and mean. Also 50 is top 0.2%

hey guys :)
how would i convert my percentages to study scores?

For uni pre-reqs, VTAC creates a conversion table each year for WACE scaled scores to VCE study scores:
This year, 96 would be a 50 SS, 78 a 40 SS and 59 a 30 SS
VCE Class of 2015
