They say each year gets better and better. Isn't that just because the more years the HSC is in, the more past papers, and the more understanding of how the New HSC works the higher marks the candidates get?

It will eventually level out, and the SMH will just be dumbfounded.

Either that or the Board lowers the standard to get a band 6 each year...

[lucyinthehole]

hah, sydney girls is still 4th? i fully thought we'd be the dumbass year that brings the ranking down. compared to last year we're terrible: no one even topped anything!

The Daily Telegraph list is more accurate, as it takes into account the candidature size of each school (merit list mentions as a proportion of HSC students at the school), unlike an aggregate with the SMH.

 

[BillyMak]

My school is just your average public, non-selective and 7/21 people in our physics class got band 6s, that's pretty good hey?

 

[Melkor]

woot, sbhs climbing the slippery slopes to success!

but seriously, if it is just an aggregate mark, we have one of the biggest canditatures (i think ~200) in the state, so i wouldnt get too excited we beat schools with 30 people, and totally failed to have an impact on the traditional powerhouses.

that one has fort street as 23 and
malek fahd islamic school as 9th!

how come?

 

[mr EaZy]

no probs- its been answered

 

[heathrow]

The daily telegraph list is more indicitive of the ability of the students. it takes into account the fact that some schools have 20 students doing the hsc and some have several hundred and recognisess that a school with 20 students where all the students do well is a higher achiever than a school with 100 students where 21 students do well. or something like that.

 

[Kelvy]
