This year (2009)
Across the ACT and NSW this year, 52,402 students were eligible for an ATAR with 48 students receiving the top rank of 99.95.
Of the top scorers, 25 students were female and 23 were male and came from a mix of private and public schools.
Another 17.6 per cent received an ATAR of 90.00 or above, 34.6 per cent received an ATAR of at least 80.00, 50.4 per cent at least 70.00, and 64.4 per cent at least 60.00.
The median ATAR was 70.25 this year.

Last year (for convenience)
In 2008 a total of 51,978 students received a UAI. The gender balance was almost the same as previous years, with 52.5% of the UAI students being female.
Sixteen percent of the students received a UAI above 90.00, 31.3% above 80.00, 47.3% above 70.00 and 60.8% above 60.00.
Of the 23 students who received UAIs of 100, 7 were female and 16 male coming from a mix of government and non-government schools and studying a wide range of courses. Males were over-represented for UAIs greater than 98.00, but females were over-represented at subsequent levels.
In 2008 the median UAI was 68.10.

Remember that these figures aren't directly comparable because ATARs are not the same as UAIs. If you use UAC's conversion table to convert the UAI statistics to the ATAR scale, the statistics are similar (except for those who scored 99.95).
