摘要：

The Australian Defence Force Academy takes in enough students from all over Australia to allow some comparisons to be made between students from different states. Since 1995, Victoria and New South Wales have used a similar ranking system to produce a Tertiary Entrance Rank (TER), and we use this as a basis for comparing the performances of students from these states in our first-year mathematics courses. We find that on average, students from NSW perform significantly better than Victorian students with the same TER.
