Despite the challenges presented by the coronavirus pandemic, including long stints of lockdown and remote learning, many students still performed exceptionally well this year.

A total of 14,215 students achieved a study score above 40 — with 50 being a perfect score — in at least one subject.

Achieving a study score of more than 40, places students in the top nine per cent in that particular subject.

Students who gave permission for their results to be made public are named on a list released by the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCAA).

This year, 68 students achieved a study score above 40 in VCE Italian.
