If you did Arts, Retail, IT, Business, D&T, Music, etc and came 1st in everything, you would probably be 1st aggregate. (of course, this doesn't happen very often).
another way i heard was they add all the ranks, and the lowest number is the dux...but this is crap since ur disadvantaged if u do 12 units.:rolleyes:

They add up points for rankings in ours. Thing I don't like is that you get less points for coming first in an Extension course than you do in the Standard course. Seems weird to do it that way. *shrug*

My school calculated dux at the end of Yr 12 assuming the dux would get the highest UAI, I didn't so they had to put 2 names up on the Dux Honour Board.... sorta destroys the point. Schools should either have a Dux which is decided internally within the school without the UAI counting, or wait until the UAI is released before awarding it.

Well I came third, after topping 4 subs and placing in two others....just because two tops were extension subs! I agree, it is annoying that English Advanced gets more points than Ext 1 and 2! Same goes for history, even though I topped 5 u there :)

Our Dux is heaps smart though...topped 10 u out of 12

well...no. ext2 maths gets counted as 2units(so does 3u maths, which adds up to 4 units, 2u maths not counted)

it might be because english is compulsory...
