I was just wondering.. how many people can get an ATAR of exactly 95? like.. i heard 40 people could get 99.95. Is there a specific number?
Furthermore, how many people can get an ATAR above 95? would it be 5% of the state?

I think for every .05, there are 49 people. So 49 each year get 99.95, and it goes down from there. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

ATAR is a ranking of you against the rest of the state's year 12 cohort.

Getting 99.95 means you're in the top 0.05% on the state, getting 95.00 means you're in the top 5% of the state, etc. so it depends on how many people are doing the HSC that particular year.

It's even less. 99.95 means you're 99.95 of the year 7 cohort, but there are less people than the amount of people who started, so probably 95 ATAR means you're smarter than about 90-91% of the state. I don't understand the system but that's what many say.

More than that, I think. I'd say more around 92-93%, not much but still a bit significant.
