What is the VCE subject that gets the most 40+ at your school?

At mine these are the rankings:

- Media (top 5 in state)
- Physical Education (top 15 in state)
- Pyschology (top 30 in state)

Worst: Further Mathematics


The rankings are probablly a bit ambiguous but all the data is according to: http://rapidshare.com/files/80030201/Study_Scores__07.rar.html

- Download file, extract it and then open the subject files. You can even find your school file to see your top ranked students for 2007

Wow, so a third of the over 40 scores came from you? Well done.

Let's see mine:
Further Maths (10)
English (
Maths Methods (6)
Biology (6)
Studio Arts (4)
PE (4)
English Language (3)
ESL (3)
Accounting (2)
Economics (2)
Legal Studies (2)
Business Management (2)
Psychology (2)
Music Performance: Solo (2)
Geography (2)
LOTE Subjects (2)
Systems (2)
IT Applications (1 - me!)
Literature (1)

I think that's all...However! The amount of students doing the subject skews the rankings here. There were only seven people in music, so having two get over 40 probably puts the subject in first place in terms of percentage. And lots and lots of people do English & Maths...
