There are 25 Overall Positions (OPs), from OP1 (highest performance) to OP25 (lowest performance). This means that many students receive the same position. That is, each OP represents a band of students.
When looking at the listings, take note of the numbers of senior students, to give an indication of the size of the school. Those with 100% rankings appear to have a very small senior contingent.
67.3% of all OP ranks in QLD were between 1 and 15, the remaining 32.7% were between 16 and 25.
Therefore, anything above 67% in the 1-15 group will indicate above average for that grouping.
From figures for QLD for the 2005 year, the following numbers of students were allocated OP's as follows:

Cheers for this ABC - despite the controversy about publishing school rankings all information is better than none and good in helping make our own judgements, so long as we can take account of a school's individual situation and challenges. Good man.
One question.. Are university courses offered based on your OP?.. e.g. to train to be a rocket scientist do you need OP1?? :)
