Australasian Schools Science Competition

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Australian School's Science Competition is a science competition open to school students in years 3-12 in Australia and New Zealand. It is run by the University of New South Wales Educational Testing Centre.

High distinctions are awarded to students who score in the top 1%. Distinctions are awarded to students who perform in the next 9%, and credits are awarded to students who score in the next 20%. However, the highest level of prize is a medal. This is awarded to the highest performing students in each state. There is no defined score or number of students that can be awarded this honour.
