Proves that the smartest people are men, but the smarter overall gender will be women.

There aren't any feminists on here. Any realistic person will acknowledge that the smartest people are men.

Because ATAR is a terrific measure of intelligence...

It's a joke.

Can someone explain why I didn't come equal first in a course when my mark was the same as the max mark?

Favouritism? Some schools also like to separate ranks 1 and 2, as the exam results are averaged I believe to attain a moderated assessment mark that ends up being the distributor (could be wrong - I asked about this in the beginning of the year as I was tied 1st in Biology). In this way a higher distributor mark can be attained which is generally better for everybody.

How can 48.4% of people receive >70 ATAR? Isn't an ATAR defined exactly so that only 30% of people can receive >70 ATAR?

According to basically everything, an ATAR is a percentile rank. Am I missing something?

edit: similarly, how can 16% of people get >90 - it therefore follows that 16% of the state beat 90% of the state. what.

Oh god. Uninstall your system 32

The ATAR ranks your position relative to the year 7 cohort, not just those who finished year 12

Expanding on this, it basically accounts for the students that have already dropped out

Your HSC Mark as it appears is rounded to a whole number. But the HSC Mark is actually taken to a decimal place. That was my understanding of it but I'm sure some on here have a better working knowledge of the HSC/ATAR system.

They are to one decimal place, so whilst you might have gotten a max 'reported' mark, your mark is at least 0.05 off the person who came first.
