The top student in the cohort academically. In Year 12, it is based on your ATAR. So highest ATAR = dux. In year 11, i believe it's the same. Or it was for my school. They had an external body come in and use the algorithms to estimate ATARs (but wouldn't tell us what they were), and the dux was chosen from that.
* Some schools decide dux after ATARs are officially released, while others may decide dux before graduation based off cumulative rankings
I prefer that second way, i didn't even know some schools did that. We have our presentation evening well before ATARs are released so the dux gets announced the following year. Not that it bothers me, I'm def not in the running LMAOO
Same here. I may have had a chance maybe two years back but def not nowI prefer that second way, i didn't even know some schools did that.

Felt hahaha. There are some kids in my grade who literally get home and study until they sleep. One girl isn't even allowed a damn tv. How do we compete with that LOLSame here. I may have had a chance maybe two years back but def not now
I'm just so tired of studying but I still do it but not effectively tbh.
but I'm so scared to get my ATAR because I already have distant family 'jokingly' say they expect a 90+ ATAR like wthhtbh I don’t really get why people go to that level, like obviously you need to study a lot to do well but I took plenty of days off and spent plenty of time having fun during year 12 and I still did perfectly fine, that stuff is excessive and unproductive anyway
aren't u the one who got deported overseas with your family by your own family because they didn't like your grades?I'm just so tired of studying but I still do it but not effectively tbh.
I'm starting to realise that I was never good at studying but I was good at memorising instead tbh.
No TV is wild
im p sure that was someone else and they were just lying
Fr bro I am so bloody exhausted constantly. My exam block is in one week and all of my exams are crammed within 3 daysI'm just so tired of studying but I still do it but not effectively tbh.

Thank you that makes me feel better haha. I still do moderately well, I just struggle during the term to stay on top of revision because of work / training / tutoring. How did you do it?
No that's not right. The actual mark that you get in your yearly report doesn't do anything, it's your rank. When you get your hsc results 50% of your mark is the mark that YOU got yourself in the HSC exam. The other half is the mark that was equivalent to your rank. So if in your cohort you rank 2nd (so the mark on your yearly report is 2nd) in Bio, YOUR bio mark, will be averaged with the 2ND bio mark. Then scaling happens etc.
********* on tiktok has a really good video that explains it. Look up
Yeah your tutor is def wrong. Atar notes on tiktok had a great video and I was going to link it but I can't find it. If i do i'll link it
