No, it doesn't contain decimals. Integers only. Usually out of 100 - with some exceptions e.g. Extension courses.

Schools do send an assessment mark for each student for each course to NESA. Schools don't send ranks or mark differences. NESA can establish a rank order from the marks that schools send.

This. The rounding happens later. The raw marks are added up (including the 0.5s) to form a raw total. Marks are then aligned based on the band cut-offs (see...

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.

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.

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...
