Just wondering, what ranks at Ruse for 99+? (1 Viewer)

[hayabusaboston]

Hai guys just out of curiosity, what ranks in adv eng, phys, chem, mx1 and mx2 would a kid from ruse need for a 99+ ATAR?
I heard of a guy who was in the 20's for everything and got 99.7 or something iirc.

Well, from memory the average ATAR at Ruse is around 99.1 or something. So, with a high scaling combination of subjects, you would probably need to be ranked in the top 55% of those subjects maybe to get 99.

Dayuuuummmm

MX1 - Top 130-140
MX2 - Top 90
Physics - Top 60
Chem - Top 100
English - Top 100-120 ish (not too sure about this)
These ranks equate to band 6 for those respective subjects. And getting a band 6 for every subject usually means an atar of aroun 99 especially due their impressive scaling

R u from ruse?

I hope you know that getting those ranks at Ruse is just as hard as say, a rank 15 in Chemistry at an average selective LOL

This pretty much.

but then, albert, how do they differentiate between skill levels of students in various subjects? if everyone is getting so fkin high how can they rank properly? They're tests arent spectacularly difficult, I would think most ruse kids get 99 or 100

They're probably tightly clustered - which is reflected in Ruse's final results pretty much, because the range of ATARs is extremely narrow once one or two outliers are removed.

I meant in ranks. HOw can they properly differentiate people through ranking if everyone gets so high and the tests arent hard enough to challenge some peeps and get a decent range of marks?

their tests are harder, i go to a selective school which in previous years ranked 2nd in maths. our tests are much more difficult than the actual hsc maths. i think they make their tests harder too.

Wow...

 

[albertcamus]

Wow...

Median ATAR btw, but 99.1 is on worse years lol usually it's 99.4-ish

 

[enoilgam]

Wow...

I think it might be a little higher, but I'm not sure on the exact figure. Albertcamus might know exactly what it is.

Edit: He beat me to it.

 

[Capt Rifle]

I wonder what the lowest atar would be...

There are probably a few randoms who get in the 70s and 80s each year.

If you don't get 99+ you are considered a failure.

 

[Capt Rifle]

Wow, so like 99 percent of everyone in the state doing their hsc are seen as failures by them

 

[ilikecats]

I'd put my money on the outliers being the token white kids.

Every time I played them for sport, I never saw a white kid. I think I saw one once when we played there, it was rather shocking.

I mean, when we played Baulko there was like 50 red heads that stood out. At ruse it was just non-existent.


In short ruse just scared me.
Baulko, not so much

No. Within the school only.
