"17.6% of students received an ATAR of 90.00 or above"

Hope that helps!

Remember that since you can't get an ATAR lower than 30, that "30%" is spread out elsewhere

I was under the assumption that you DON'T get an ATAR if it was under 30.
Not that you CAN'T get under 30.

Lol yes, that's correct... I dunno where my head was at.

Still, I think my point is valid, because 30% of students will not get an ATAR less than 30. Judging by those statistics, it looks like there were slightly more people with an ATAR of 90+ than those with an ATAR of 80-90. Think of it more like a Bell Curve with a more emphasised higher end. lol

Yeah, it just says, "30 ATAR or below".

I always thought that because it was a rnaking, that only 10% of people would get 90+

I think it's something like 10% or your previous cohort (used to be year 10, i vaguely remember they changed it to year 7 or something).

So the bottom ranks (From 0-20 or something) are people who dropped out, repeated a year, or whatever. Hence, the top rankings will be a larger percentage of the students who actually sit the HSC.

Have a look at this, it gives an accurate number of students for each ATAR rank

What percentage of people who sit the HSC get over 95 ATAR?

It varies. Im not sure, but i think it uses the standard deviation method. X-amount of students fall within 13.5% have an atar of 95 for example.
