2002 Distinguished Achievers list (as an MS Excel file) (1 Viewer)

[Lazarus]

It's sorted by school (although you could sort by student number, surname or subject etc if you so desired) and, being an Excel file, allows you to search for your friends and so on.

Much more useful than the pithy pages on the Board's site, in my opinion.

i know what u mean about the BOS site, it'so confusing trying to find about ur friends from school....But i have no Excel......

I think Sun's OpenOffice, which is a free office suite, will open Excel files, but am not sure. Have a go anyway.

 

[Dahvood]

i'm fairly certain you can download an excel viewer from the mircosoft website. it should be under office downloads

I wrote a small Java program to parse the pages on the Board's site, reformat them and output them to a text file, which could then be imported into Excel.

the board made a mistake w/ one of my subjects, but now its been corrected..previous mark for extension english 1 was 38 out of 50 - now its 45/50....

Does that mean that this "distinnction list" is perhaps inaccurate in its portrayal of my abilities as a candidate for the Higher School Certificate...coz in which case, i object!

PS. to all concerned, i have already found the newspaper thingy and added the subject next to my name, albeit in pencil only

97.3 UAI - oFfiCial FounDer oF the BoarD of StupiDitY

so did the clerical recheck pay-off?

 

[ShirLz]

no i didn't pay..it was an administration error
they didn't apologise or anythin - just letter in mail w/ upated results n new uai ...so shweet n considerate

I wonder if anyone who gets a clerical recheck ever actually gets their mark changed.

So the BOS is open to bribes lol

 

[flyin']

after you completed your exams did you think you could make 99.4?
