Wow, no one else doing bio at my school got above 40. I was expecting a couple of 41/42's. Only one person got 45+ and it was a 46 in psych.

In total my school had 12 40+ from 9 students...I knew we were bad but i didn't realise how bad lol. There's 250-300ish? students who did a 3/4 subject this year.

Hi. Roughly how many people did your school let accelerate subjects the same way you did (doing 3/4s as early as year 10)? Were they the ones that did well?

My school is a bit weird, we can do 3/4's as early as we want. I'm pretty sure 7/9 are not graduating this year.

If accelearated students (as in like year 11's doing a 3/4) if we scored a raw 40 (or higher) do we get to be on the honour roll. I got a raw 43 psych, and none of the accelerated kids in my school were on the top achievers list, is the list exclusive to only year 12s?

nope all 40+'s should be there for any year level it could be a mistake on your school's part. I remember a few years ago this happened to someone I know.

Also you needed to provide permission to have them released. If you didn't give permission they won't be there.

Ohh I know what school you're talking about. Maybe the freedom the school provides is detrimental to learning.

I wouldn’t say it’s detrimental to learning but people here definitly don’t care much about the ATAR. They tend to use it to get into their course and so long as they can do that, they don’t care about doing way better than they have to. There’s a few schools like us now.
