Influences of ranking and school (1 Viewer)

[runnable]

So is it better to be ranked near the bottom of a really smart school than near the top of a "dumb" school???The assesments are scaled to the schools performance in the exams aren't they???????

It theoretically makes no difference. However you get the influence of a good school to study harder, better teachers etc.

no that's crap.
If you're at a shit school coming first in chemistry you're not going to do as well as a kid at a good school coming first in chemistry.

50% of your UAI is your rank at school - and how good these ranks are in comparison to someone with the same ranks at a different school is based on how YOUR grade, at YOUR school does as a cohort.

The other 50% is just how you go in HSC.
