Details Of VCE Political Studies Results Released

The Victorian Board of Studies has released details of Year 12 Politics results from the 2000 examinations.

The Board has published the names of all students, including their schools, who scored 40 or more in all subjects. Results are scored out of a maximum 50. A score of 40+ represents the top 8% of students in the subject.

The individual totals are difficult to interpret because they do not indicate how many students were enrolled in the subject in a particular school. Accurate comparisons of the performances of particular schools cannot be made with raw figures since enrolments vary markedly from school to school.

• 18 - Sacred Heart Girls' College Oakleigh
• 9 - MLC
