More information will be added to this shortly. I have 4 children two in high school and two at Primary level and my kids love sitting tests so they pretty much sit all of them so I have alot of information on tests. Feel free to ask questions in relation to results. If I dont know the answers, maybe somebody else will. One of the most difficult things in relation to these tests is trying to work out how close you were to a Credit, Distinction or High Distinction Certificate and how they calculate it.
Two different results on a Year 9 Science University competition this year showed that 32/45 gave you a Credit 74% in the State and 31/45 gave you a Participation 68% in the state and made a 6% difference in the mark. Unable to tell you above that because like all test results there is a "code of silence" and secrecy that is just unbelievable.
I wonder whether any other parent has noticed how ridiculously hard and how unbelievably difficult the questions are. They dont appear to me to be appropriate to the task or the age groups.
