<p>When it talks about academic awards, I recieved a High Distinction (top 1%) for my state in English in the third grade. I also got a High Distinction in Writing (2nd in country of 4 million people total) for 5th grade. I havn’t taken the tests since but I’m wondering if it’s rather desperate to include such old awards seeing as I’m in 8th right now.</p>
<p>Don’t include them.</p>
<p>Are you Australian? The UNSW tests, isn’t it? I’d include the 5th grade one, only as it is a better result than the 3rd grade one and more recent, but then again, what do I know!</p>
<p>I’m including my results (Distinction in English and Writing in 7th grade - top 10% in Australia), but they’re more recent.</p>
<p>I would list both. It won’t take very much space to list them, and those are extraordinary results.</p>
<p>Im not Australian but I took those tests in Australia… They are the UNSW tests, although we always called them the Australasians. I had heaps of distinctions in the 5th grade in other subjects but seeing as they are so old I thought I’d omit them. Thanks for your advice!</p>
<p>I was just thinking that this might be enough for someone with my admissions folder to work out who I am. Should I be worried?</p>
<p>INclude awards 6th grade and up</p>
