    Re: ATAR result

    Never heard of this school but I assume a quite high ranking private?

    I'm going to say no, the only school to ever get ten or more is James Ruse I believe.

    lol you aren't guaranteed a high atar in any sense at all. James ruse may go close to 10 on average but im not sure. But it would definitely not be the 10 highest ranking students every year, it would very much change due to the externals.

    How have you not heard of the school and then state that the only school that's got 10 or more is James Ruse? o_o

    One: I don't live in Syd so I don't know all the schools.
    Two: I would know of it if it was consistently in the top 10-15, i.e the schools most likely to get multiple 99.95ers.
    Three: Ten is a hell of a lot, considering about 50 get 99.95 a year. I would know if a school got as many as James Ruse.
    Four: Noone is guaranteed of it, the only school where it's comparably likely is Ruse.

    How come you're getting weird at me :S

    James Ruse has been in the top 2 for a while, usually first in the state with a large percentage of students that gain an atar of 99+

    Lol, even if this is true which I think is pretty exaggerated they are not 'guaranteed' a 99.95, they have to work just as hard as someone who goes to a comprehensive high school and gets the same result..

    someone who is in the top 10 at james ruse... has obviously worked very hard to get there... so i would personally say they are 'guaranteed' a 99.95 assuming they maintain their performance

    Re: ATAR result

    K guys, the post was entirely different when I posted as stated by OzKo.

    For the new question, not guaranteed but the top 10 at ruse could expect .95 or very close to it. Last year, in 2010, they had 12 .95 ers.

    Simple answer is no. But to be top 10 implies you've put in a very high level of effort and work, so you would be up in that region of achievement.
