澳洲精英中学考分是如何计算的?

在澳大利亚中学教育




最近网上都在问哪个小学好?是不是上了好的小学就会考到一个好的高中呢?

最近我的一个朋友的女儿考到了Hornsby Girls High, 学校很不错了,又没有补习过。不过她说才知道女儿的学校总分被拉低了5%,因为有一个考生没有参加。本来她女儿可以去Baulkham High的,可是因为学校整体扣了5%,所以本来够Baulkham high的成绩现在只能去Hornsby了。她还说因为另外一个小学整体成绩好,所以总分提了4%,也就是说原来考200分就变成了204分。。。大家都知道,考试差0.5分就可能去不同的学校,所以这4%可以让多少学生的命运改变啊。

由这点看来,好的小学是不错的选择。

但是,我的另一个朋友则说,考分还包括学生的平时成绩,虽然好的小学可以把总体分数拉高,但是因为在好的学校因为竞争激烈所以孩子很难拿到top的成绩,那么平时的成绩就会偏低,所以综合一下的话,也就抵消了学校不好被扣分的效果。

现在就是想问一下子,精英中学的分数是由几部分构成的啊,是如何计算出来的呢?如果在普通中学当top student的话,那么总分看来也会很高啊?。。。
想问问现在孩子在上小学准备靠精英的妈妈有什么想法?

刚知道这个算法。很惊讶有这么大差异。以前从没考虑过。现在有想法也来不及了。

Hornsby Girls High比山区那个好很多吧?

评论
hornsby girls high去年也是nsw前5吧。
和north sydney girls high一样都是我的目标。

Baulkham hills high比hornsby girls high的HSC成绩好,去年是全NSW第二名, 仅次于James Ruse

请问100%GA是什么啊?

上了好的小学和后面的上了好的高中(包括精英中学)肯定是没啥一定的因果关系的。
只能说上了好的小学后来上好的高中的可能性大一些,不过也不太准确,呵呵。
再说,所谓“好"的定义实在是各人理解不同,每个人的看法太不同了。
如果一定要说是academic的话,
举个例子,两个600人左右的A和B小学,Year 6一般就3个班(不超过100人)。
School A有OC班,School B没有OC班,大家都说A比B”好“,结果考精英中学,School A里的录取率是30%,B是10%,大家又说A比B好。
但是仔细想想,A学校其中一个是OC班,已经占了三分之一,OC班大概全考上的精英中学(很常见)不就是30%的比例吗?其他在普通班里不是前一二名的话基本上是没戏了。
B小学10%的录取率就意味着10个人考入,3个班平均就是每个班前三名的孩子录取。
如果孩子没有考入OC,就Academic来说,两个学校有很大差别吗?

关于精英中学的的部分,可以看看这个帖子Selective High School in NSW
学校总分评分的部分我个人觉得不可信。

评论
嗯,看这个数字是挺有道理的

评论
谢谢patrick,考取流程我已经看过了,但是有一个百分比的计算不知道怎么会事,虽然学校不是决定上不上精英的全部因素,但 还是很重要,至少不能因为学校把分数拉下来吧。

就是想知道每个小学最后怎么得到的那个百分比啊,好象有点想国内高考改革后的综合分算法是的,专门对付偏科的学生,只不过这好象是对学校。

评论
我女儿在EASTWOOD PUBLIC的时候听其他家长说这所学校的考生最后考出来的成绩会被减分,就是因为学校的总体水平的问题,
我就知道DENISTONE EAST PUBLIC是加分的,但是目前也不知道是加几分,看来要去打听打听了.

评论
我家对面邻居家大儿子今年考进去了,真替他们高兴

评论
我女儿的学校平均比全州平均要差!按说这个是差学校,但是,如果看OC,他们去年考上2个,按比例却很高呢(高于10%)。

评论
楼主的问题也是我想知道的,我也家长听说过类似的问题,还有关于学校对学生的评定,我听女儿学校的家长说,学校给学生的打分也很重要,各学校的理念不一样,举例说吧,如果满分是一百分,一个很不错的学生,在A学校给85分,她们说85分已经很好了,在我们学校已经是比较Top的分数了,这个学校给学生的打分普遍偏低,而这个学生在B学校可能会得到90分,因为学校打分普遍较高。据那个家长说我女儿的学校就属于A那种不太开明的学校,他孩子当初就是因为这个学校评定成绩的影响差一点没考上Hurstville的OC班,他告诉孩子只能靠自己努力考高点分数了,还好她今年考上了North Sydney Girl。

我们刚来悉尼一年,对这个很confuse,孩子今年才Year 1,正考虑要不要因为这个原因给孩子转学,请明白人能帮忙解释一下 !

Selective High School Placement Profile Score

Frequently asked Questions

What is the calculated profile score?

The calculated profile score is a mark out of 300 which is used to rank candidates applying for selective high school placement. For most students the calculated profile score is provided at the bottom of the letter or email advising the outcome of their application.

What other scores can I ask for?

You can complete a request for scores form (pdf 36kb) and, apart from the calculated profile score which most people receive on their outcome letter as well, you will receive a letter or email detailing the following: (Note that all marks requests will be processed together at the end of August, and each subsequent month until December.)

1. School assessment scores

Schools provide school assessment scores based generally on the student's performance on the school's curriculum in Year 4 and up to the end of Year 5. Schools have the discretion to set their own assessment criteria. The scores are provided for:


English out of 100
Mathematics out of 100

  
2. Test scores

Students take the Selective High School Placement Test and receive the following set of scores:

Reading out of 45
Writing out of 20
Mathematics out of 40
General ability out of 60


What do the school assessment scores mean?

The school assessment scores for English and mathematics rank all candidates from a particular school applying for selctive high school placement in order of merit showing the relative gaps between the students.

For example, a school with five candidates may provide the following school assessment scores:

Students
English
Mathematics

Student A        
95
72

Student B
83
89

Student C
79
91

Student D
77
90

Student E
64
61


How does the selection committee use the school assessment scores?

These scores tell the selection committee how the students are performing in their own school environment, but the selection committee needs to see how that performance ranks with the performance of all other candidates in the other schools in the state.

Therefore, as part of the calculation these school assessment scores are moderated to make them meaningful across the state and to give them the same weight as the scaled test marks.

How are the school assessment scores moderated?

The mean (average) and standard deviation (spread of scores) of the English and mathematics tests are calculated for all of the students from each primary school who sat the test.

The mean and standard deviation are applied to the school assessment scores for English and mathematics.

What happens to the test scores?

For each test component, the test score is scaled to a mean of 60 and a standard deviation of 12. In other words the average score correct out of 45 for Reading is scaled to 60 out of 100 and all other scores are calculated relative to that score of 60. The process does not convert the test score to a percentage score.

What happens next?

The rest of the score processing averages the moderated school assessment scores and the scaled test scores for English and mathematics, rescales them to a mean of 60 and a standard deviation of 12 and adds the scaled general ability score. The three scores out of 100 are combined to make the calculated profile score out of 300.


Can I compare my child’s score with the score of a child from another school or a previous year?

No. Each school’s candidature is used to moderate its own school assessment scores quite separately from any other school so comparisons between students at different schools are not valid. Comparisons between students at the same school in previous years are similarly invalid as each year has a totally different test and a totally different school candidature.

Is the calculated profile score the only score used for selective high school entry?

For most students the calculated profile score is the score on which students are considered. However, for a small group of students, selection committees have the discretion to consider factors which may have prevented students from showing their true academic merit. These factors may include a student’s disability, language or cultural background or any illness suffered during the test. In these cases, scores can be adjusted by the selection committee.

Can students ever achieve a score of 300?

It would be very unusual for a student to achieve a score of 300 for selective high school placement as the test is very difficult and school assessment scores rarely moderate to 100 but the top score tends to be between 270 and 280.

What score does a student have to gain to be successful for selective high school placement?

There is no set score which students have to achieve to be successful for selective high school placement. The minimum entry score for each selective high school depends on the score achieved by the candidates for that school and can vary from school to school and from year to year.
