Abstract
In Australia, the provision of education is a state or territory responsibility. As different states have different curricula and assessment methods, the competencies of students commencing university studies may vary more than secondary school marks may suggest.
We compare secondary school results with outcomes of first-year undergraduate physics studies, as undertaken at the Australian Defence Force Academy. This institution is quite unique, as it draws a student cohort from each jurisdiction.
