How do you know if you got the highest ENTER in your school for your year level? Do you get presented with any awards?  ::) Or does this differ between schools?

It depends on each school really.
At our school, we welcome back the Dux to our annual Prize-Giving Assembly and honour them there; but each to their own I guess.

It differs between schools but usually you get invited back to the school for a whole school assembly where they present you with a certificate and/or plaque, give a speech to the entire school, shake a few hands.

Some schools invite back all the students who got the highest study score for each subject offered by the school and give them a medal and a certificate.

Aggregate score means including scaling though o.O I guess it's like an aggregate of the raw scores then.

Well the dux actually gets a plaque and a free laptop.  I didn't say the laptop before because not many schools give out laptops and I was trying to generalise as much as possible.
