Percentage of students to each study score?

[tega]

Just wondering if someone could provide an approximate percentage of students who get each study score (or just the ones above 40?)
Eg 9% get above 40, 6% get above 42 or whatever )

What is a study score?

A study score shows how well you have performed in a study at Unit 3 and 4 level, compared to everybody else in Victoria who took that study. Study scores calculated by the VCAA will be used by the Victorian Tertiary Admissions Centre (VTAC) to calculate the ATAR.

The maximum study score is 50. Each year, and for every study, the mean study score is set at 30. A score of between 23 and 37 shows that you are in the middle range of students; a score of 38 or more indicates that you are in the top 15%.

For studies with large enrolments (1,000 or more):

2% of students will get a score on or above 45
9% of students will get a score on or above 40
26% of students will get a score on or above 35
53% of students will get a score on or above 30
78% of students will get a score on or above 25
93% of students will get a score on or above 20.

Thanks heaps, but is there an approximation for other study scores? I got a 43 and am wondering what percentile that places me in?
Surely someone knows how to work it out using the bell curve/standard dev. stuff?

Personally not sure how accurate it is but it looks about right

So I believe a 43 would mean you're in the top 3.7% of the state

Thanks so much 

Wait what does 'cumulative' and 'individual' mean?

individual means for that particular score. cumulative means >= that score

Oh right, silly me. Thank you!
