Lowest ATARs at selective/private schools.

[werdna]

Just an interesting thought - what is the estimated lowest ATAR score achieved in a selective or private school?

In addition to this, what is the difficulty, if so, in getting a 'low' ATAR score in a selective/private school?

In a public school you'd sort of 'get away' with a less than 30 ATAR, but what is the vibe like in the top tier schools?

I guess the lowest would be dropping out... (yes, private school kids drop out sometimes)

That you are taking over your Dad's business, so school doesn't matter.

I suppose this is off-topic but how do you even get a Study Score of less than 20?
I mean a solid D+ average gets you a 20...

-.-

Don't turn up to exams because you're only doing year 12 because your parents want you to finish high school etc.

As for private schools, most of them manage to get the majority of students over 70 or so. I didn't see too many <70 scores when I graduated.

e, VVVVVVV
typo

I didn't see too many <80 scores when I graduated.

Wow.. only around 10% of my school's cohort gets over 70.

What's the point of this thread LOL? Just wondering :S

A guy in my media class got 19 in media... It was so great having him sitting right in front me during the exam mucking around + talking and doing whatever he could do get attention. e.g. tapping the desk, humming, rocking on his chair etc. So yeah, he basically spent about 10 minutes overall on the actual exam....I think he got an E for it... It scaled down to 14!

Then again, my school is crap haha. So scores like that aren't so out of the ordinary..

He did refer to selective schools as well sooooo...xD

Edit: Just a little random, atar.

I know some top schools with ATAR scores in the 50s. And drop outs don't often occur because private/selective schools tend to weed them out before it can happen.

P.S. Trust ATAR to take it off topic...

Cyril Rioli (Richmond FC player) went to my brother's school (Scotch College) and had an ENTER of 16~17.something

then again only attended Scotch since he had a sports scholarship and he's in the AFL now so im pretty sure he's earning much more than his peers who are still in uni :S

*edit*

woops, Cyril Rioli plays for Hawthorn, i got mixed up with his father~

MHS had a lowest atar of about high 60s in 2009, i suspect it could be a tad lower for 2010 judging some of the people we had

I was under the impression if you get less than 30 it comes as <30, you don't get an exact ENTER?

There's a button to let you see it from the screenshot I saw of someone in this situation.
