Ever wondered how is the dux of school determined? (1 Viewer)

[Winn]

The title is pretty self-explainatory
In my school they do it based on estimated mark.

My old school does it based on whoever tops the most subjects.

However in instances where there's a discrepancy of some kind (last year it was due to one person topping 4 subjects lower in the scaling scheme of things versus someone topping 3 higher scaling subjects) then they do it on estimated mark.

Although in the instance above, the person topping 4 lower subjects still got a higher predicted (and actual) score.

(And its given out prior to externals)

Whoever gets the highest UAI... now ATAR

Last year the same thing happened at my school and so they gave a joined dux, which is funny because it was obvious the science guy was going to get a higher mark than the humanity guy.
I think it was because a couple of years ago my school made a wrong prediction, lol.

[xXmuffin0manXx]

we're highest atar system

 

[osamabanana]

at my school it was the person with the most firsts even though they were in general maths and easier subjects

 

[jellybelly59]

i asked my DP and he said they look at internal marks and punch them into some program or something like that... he was kind of vague LOL

 

[annabackwards]

Hmm the person who tops the most subjects system seems to suck in my opinion, because what if someone isn't topping anything, but is say coming 2nd in all high scaling subjects?

 

[lyounamu]

highest atar

 

[0hNivlek]

Highest ATAR. The DUX is given the year after so it can reflect the highest results.

 

[youngminii]

Highest ATAR I think.

 

[duckcowhybrid]

Highest ATAR.

 

[shady145]

highest ATAR for mine to, looks like thats the most common

 

[dux&src]

Highest ATAR. The DUX is given the year after so it can reflect the highest results.

dux of the school is given after the results are released.
dux of other grades ie 7-11 early december at our school

 

[Mu5hi]

highest ATAR

 

[d3st1nyLiang]

year 7 -11 is highest report mark avg and then in yr 12 its highest atar, guess that seems common across all schools

They let the sorting hat decide.

highest ATAR for yr 12's

most amount of #1 rankings in subjects for junior years
