Aussie High School Marks

Aussie High School Marks

In the final 13th year of school education, New South Wales students get a mark out of 100 for each subject they sit.  It is an average of the mark from a statewide exam and for a mark awarded by the school.  This last mark is weighted by how the school as a whole performs in the exam.
