It uses Victoria University student data, defines SES and examines relationships between ATAR scores and student outcomes. The study applies multivariate methods including quantile regressions and matched quantile regression, supported by tables and charts, to compare performance patterns across SES groups and entry score distributions. It also discusses limitations and directions for future work.",{"@graph":69,"@context":123},[70,84,106],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":40,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/research-report/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/the-academic-performance-of-first-year-students-at-victoria-university-by-entry-score-and-ses-2009-2013-316207/316207/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/the-academic-performance-of-first-year-students-at-victoria-university-by-entry-score-and-ses-2009-2013-316207/316207.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"Finn","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-29","2026-09-20",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":105},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",11,{"@type":107,"mainEntity":108},"FAQPage",[109,115,119],{"name":110,"@type":111,"acceptedAnswer":112},"What factors does the report study in relation to first-year performance?","Question",{"text":113,"@type":114},"The report focuses on tertiary entry scores, socio-economic status (SES), and other related factors affecting first-year performance at Victoria University.","Answer",{"name":116,"@type":111,"acceptedAnswer":117},"Which time period and student group does the analysis cover?",{"text":118,"@type":114},"The analysis covers Victoria University first-year students across 2009–2013, with attention to low- and high-SES groups and related entry score categories.",{"name":120,"@type":111,"acceptedAnswer":121},"What statistical approaches are used to evaluate performance differences?",{"text":122,"@type":114},"It uses multivariate analysis with quantile regressions and matched quantile regression, along with matching methods for ATAR scores and SES-related indicators.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":83,"og:type":125,"og:title":65,"og:site_name":95,"og:description":67},"article",{"robots":127,"canonical":83},"index,follow",{"doc_id":129,"site_id":62},316207,1790429090,{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":132},{"doc_id":129,"user_id":133,"nickname":92,"user_avatar":134,"doc_module":4,"category_id":39,"category_name":40,"doc_title":65,"doc_description":67,"doc_content":135,"file_id":136,"file_url":137,"file_type":138,"file_size":139,"view_count":105,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":8,"is_downloadable":8,"audit_status":8,"page_count":41,"language":140,"language_code":63,"site_id":62,"html_lang":63,"table_of_contents":141,"faqs":142,"seo_title":143,"seo_description":67,"update_tm":144,"read_time":145,"preview_page_count":4},34359740700684,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/avatar/1f400023980c374ae676?_k=1777273430885731487","The Academic Performance of First Year Students at Victoria University by Entry Score and SES, 2009-­‐2013   \nGeorge Messinis and Peter Sheehan  \nVictoria Institute of Strategic Economic Studies  \nMelbourne  \n1 May 2015  \nThe authors would like to acknowledge funding from the National Centre for Student Equity in Higher Education (NCSEHE) at Curtin University and express our gratitude to John Phillimore and Mike Dockery from NCSEHE, and Peter Dawkins and Kerri-­‐Lee Krause from Victoria University for valuable comments on earlier drafts.
