Let your teacher know that schools no longer need to buy a subscription for RAP, it's available at no cost. It was announced to schools early last month.

'P' appears to be incomplete as well. Unfortunately my scraping script is not working for the redesigned format. I am hoping someone else may have a complete list.

Hi @carrotsss, I had a quick look and this appears to be missing the last ~1000 entries for family names starting with K? There may be other gaps, that is just the one I noticed.

Multiple choice data is available to schools as soon as the results come out. It was (C) - individual identity. If it makes you feel any better, it was the hardest question with 46% of SOR2 students getting it correct. 41% chose (B).

Here is the distinguished achiever's list as a searchable file. https://ufile.io/9tfiyb2e. Apologies if it's already been posted. For best ease of use, copy and paste into a spreadsheet.

What students should be supplying to the rawmarks database is the raw mark as well as the aligned exam mark - not the HSC mark.

Is it possible that student applied for illness/misadventure and the aligned exam mark was an estimate based on their assessment mark? It would explain the discrepancy.

I don't think there is a point to be made based on skew. Considering characters, there are 18 of them aged 14-15, and 15 of them aged 17-18. Considering actors, there are fewer at both ends (below 18 yrs, and above 26 yrs), and more in the middle.

I think it's 4 years.

I looked at the 3 sets of solutions posted for discrepancies, and also looked at mine. * Q15: I got 5/18 for 15a and 3/5 for 15b, which is different to two sets of solutions posted. I have verified both with 500,000 trials in a spreadsheet. * Q28c I agree with John Drake's answer: 2ln2-3/2+pi/4...

No, the Distinguished Achiever List is based on Bands (Band 6 and E4), and Bands come from HSC marks - which is the average of the exam mark and assessment mark.

Here is the Distinguished Achievers List in a spreadsheet, taken from the NESA site today. https://ufile.io/of2hzzie

I wrote that more than 11 years ago, and yes, it's changed! Those reports are still available, but NESA keep adding more useful analysis tools for schools. https://educationstandards.nsw.edu.au/wps/portal/nesa/11-12/hsc/results-certificates/results-services-schools/results-analysis-package-hsc...
