Also does anyone at school like the principal see our Atar?

Nope, they do get access to raw examination marks i think and maybe the moderated ones too but the atar is purely yours. Many schools like mine actually do a morning tea where they want the students to come back to celebrate everyone's achievements but really they just wanna know our atars smh ahahah.

You don't get your raw marks for free, you have to buy them lol. In all seriousness, I would recommend buying them if you can, because it includes a results check, and I have since realised a bunch of dodgy stuff about how the papers are marked (carelessly). I didn't buy my raw marks because I thought the atar I achieved was already beyond what I had imagined (>98)

So if I buy the raw results 1) how do I work out if something dodgy happened 2) what can I do about it???

does anyone else want to study occupational therapy at uni?

No, but hoping for physiotherapy. What uni is your preference?

Yeah they didn't offer it at my school so I took it through NSW School of Languages! Do they not offer it at your school too?

Thank you for the well wishes! Good luck for your HSC next year too.

They'll perform a results check for you if you order your raw marks, meaning they check the results (you don't have to do anything).

How long does it take? Would it be done by Wednesday 23rd or later offer rounds? What subjects do you think are more likely to have dodgy stuff happen?
Thanks

If nothing dodgy happens then you just wasted your money I guess. However if there were problems with the marking, you get

Remember each section/question is marked multiple times by different teachers and if there’s a marks discrepancy it goes to another one or something like that.

Tbh I would only ask for a results check if it’squite far off what you were expecting but tbh most people don’t really know what to expect.

I had a friend get it done (and had their marks updated) but I don’t remember how quickly the turnaround was. If you get your mark adjusted and it suddenly puts you clearly above the cutoff id try calling up the uni and seeing what they can do. Sometimes they don’t do second round since the course fills up but if you are in the clear for an offer you should get it.

remember this is NOT a remark just a results check. This is to deal with things like incorrect totals, missing pages etc

USYD- but i think ACU or WSU is more realistic

does anyone know when vtac offers come out?

does anyone know when vtac offers come out?

Probably January bc vics get their ATARs on the 30th

Yeah all sorts of rumours like that. Rushed marking, tendency to miss pages, not putting effort etc, because they are paid per paper. I wouldn't be surprised if they were true tbh.

It is actually quite rare for anyone to have any marks changed from a recheck, let alone one that is significant enough to affect the ATAR.

Also remember that a recheck can go both ways. If you were incorrectly awarded more marks than you should have then the marks will be adjusted accordingly.

I'm gonna wake up before 6am to wait for text message heart attack and I would love to go to bed early but idk if that's gonna happen so maybe I just won't sleep. I def want to see all results as soon as they come out rather than sleep through it.

I remember I stayed up late so I could wake up later than 6 (avoiding the anticipation heart attack) but my body woke itself up at 5:30 and couldn't get back to sleep anyway.

Good luck you all!!
