What's considered a strong rank, whats considered a weak rank kind of thing? Im just confused.

So say out of 15 is 4th/15 considered good?

Or 8/15?

Is there a general rute that dictates good and bad ranks?

It depends on your school's ranking.

eg. 4/15 in a high ranking school (James Ruse) is much better than 4/15 in a low ranking school.

Generally 4/15 is considered a strong rank. 8/15 is considered poor. Though usually people take into account school's rank, in order to determine your approximate position within the state which is much more important.

Ah k, thanks for the help guys, I really appreciate it.

So I think my school is ranked somewhere around 50th, would such a rank of 4th be good?

Yes, a rank of 4 in your school would be excellent :)

no. 4th is so shit, especially if your school is only rank ~50

Depends what you are aiming for, if you want 98atar+, then 4/15 wouldn't be where you want to be.
It also depends on how smart your class is.
