Band 5 is the next highest band awarded and indicates a mark above 80. For Extension Subjects, the highest two bands awarded are E4 (45/50 or above) and E3 (40-44/50 or above). All students achieved marks of 50 or more (Band 2/E2 or higher), with the exception of one student in one subject, the same as in 2008-2011. 60% of results across the 33 courses were in the top bands (80-100 marks in 2 Unit; 40 – 50 marks in Extension courses); this is a slight decrease on 2011. HSC All-rounders list Seven students were eligible for this list, gaining 90 per cent or above in 10 or more HSC units. This is a slight decrease on the previous year.

Cranbrook boys gained 140 of these merit listings in total, including 16 in English and 43 in Mathematics, with 72 students being placed on the Distinguished Achievers List in at least one subject. Subjects contributing significantly to the merits this year were Drama, Mathematics, Legal Studies, Languages (French and Latin) and Music Extension.
