The median ATAR for 2011 was 69.25, what was standard deviation>?

This table shows the number of students receiving each ATAR from 99.95 to 99.00 and the number
corresponding to the stated ATAR ranges down to 30.00–30.95

The ATAR is a percentile ranking, not a normal distribution, so there is no standard deviation.

+1, only study scores have a standard deviation

Well what is the standard deviation for each study score?
I'm guessing it would be around 6-7, but not completely sure.
