, hope they disappear from the list next year.
HAHAHAHHAHAHHAAHHAHAHHAHow the hell did Ruse come first again?
My gut feeling failed me
Ruse 12 is the strongest cohort...!!! So much pressure...Yep Ruse 2011, for the last 6 years has been know as the weakest in history, but we still came first. WOOHOO! And for those doing the HSC in 2012, the next year coming is the BEST we've ever had, so Ruse won't be losing their No. 1 spot for some time coming.
its not fantastic
This grade is known to be one of the poorest cohorts for many years - apparently, the 2012 grade is the best in years so we'll see what happens.
that's pretty damn bs -- what if hypothetically, an entire cohort gets 89's for every single subject, and every student in the cohort has 89 (i.e. NO BAND 6'S IN THE COHORT). And then there's a school that has 20 band6's but every one else has BAND2'S?
m8.... Our ATARs have been pretty good so far. It should be noted that there were heaps of 89s in the cohort, but that doesn't correlate onto the rankings.
In reality, all schools suffer the same problem with a decent proportion of 89s. The rankings should not be interpreted as an indicator of school performance. The ranks are only built based on publicly available information. They should only be interpreted as a list of schools ranked according to number of top bands achieved. Nothing more.
It's such a silly system though because it doesn't take into to account the difficulty of courses - an average ATAR would be the only accurate way, but they're private.
