One in 30 of the state's International Baccalaureate students received the perfect score of 45, which translates to the top ATAR of 99.95, when results were released on Sunday.
By comparison, fewer than one in 1000 HSC students received 99.95 last month.
在周日公布的结果显示，南威尔士州的本科留学生有1/30得到满意的45分，换算成ATRA是99.95分。相较而言上个月不到千分之一的学生在HSC中取得99.95的成绩。
However, while the HSC serves 70,000 students across the state, the International Baccalaureate (IB) is only offered as an alternative at about 15 private schools in Sydney, with 346 students receiving results on Sunday.
然而，HSC在全州有70,000多名学生参加，而国际学士学位旨在悉尼的15所私立学校提供考试，有346名学生收到结果。
Denice Scala, the principal at MLC School in Burwood where one student received 45 and six received 44, said there was nothing to be gained by comparing the IB with the HSC.
Denice Scala是Burwood MLC学校的校长，学校只有1个人拿到45分，6个拿到44分，她认为把两种分数拿来比较没有什么意义。
"Instead, we should focus on providing students with the freedom to choose," she said. "The most important thing is choosing the option which suits a student's learning style, individual strengths and matriculation preferences."
她说：“相反我们提供学生自由的选择，最主要的是选择适合学生学习方式，个人特长和录取学校的偏好的选择。”
NSW is the only state in Australia that does not allow public schools to offer the IB.
新南威尔士州是澳大利亚唯一一个不允许公立学校提供IB考试的州。
While the HSC allows students to specialise in an area of study, IB candidates must study six subjects including English, a second language, maths, a science subject and a humanities subject. They must also complete a 4000-word research essay, study a subject called the theory of knowledge and undertake community service.
南威尔士州允许学生在某一领域专一学习，IB候选人必须学习六门专业，包括英语，二外，数学，一个理科课程和一个文科课程。他们还要完成一篇4000字的研究论文，学习一门知识理论并着手社会活动。
Of the 1790 Australian students who completed their diploma in November, 31 scored the top mark of 45, with 12 of those students graduating from schools in Sydney.
在澳洲11月毕业的1790名学生，有31名取得了45分的优秀成绩，这些学生有12名是从悉尼的大学毕业的。
Despite making up only a fraction of the 1.2 million students from 141 countries, Australians made up more than 10 per cent of the students awarded 45s.
取得好成绩的学生一小部分是从141个国家的1200000，澳大利亚人取得45分好成绩的学生占了10%。
The average score among Australian students was 33.96, which is equivalent to an ATAR of 91.45, and the pass rate was 92.66 per cent. The global average of about 30 would translate to an ATAR of 83.
澳大利亚学生的平均分数是33.96，换算成ATAR是91.45分，通过率达到了92.66%。全球的平均成军换算出来是ATAR的83分。
However, unlike NSW, in most major IB countries the qualification is offered predominantly at public schools.
然而，跟新南威尔士州不同的是，主要提供IB的国家主要是在公立大学。
