I think something weird happens in this case. When there are twoo few students, I SUSPECT that the actual exam score of the top student in the state determines that student's study score - so if the student gets 100% in the exam, that student is assigned a 50. Which explains why in Latin, when a similar number of students sit the exam every year, one year the highest score is 47, another its 44, another its 49, another its 50.


That's what I was getting at.
In popular subjects (eg Further) you can get a 50 without perfect scores (due to the number of participating students) whereas in Latin you need a perfect score to get a 50.

We could well have a situation where the VCAA set a very difficult Further exam where nobody gets a perfect score and yet many students will get a SS of 50 and yet a Latin student with a similarly imperfect exam gets a 47.

It's no big deal, just saying...

I'm hearing people say that the high achievers list (40+) will be published in the Herald Sun tomorrow, but I thought it usually comes out two days after.

Can anyone clarify?

I don't understand why we can't just email the government or something to get them to keep our results so that we never have to see it. THAT would be so much better.

Well you can just not check :P
