Omg it’s getting so close!!! I honestly feel like I’ve overestimated my study scores by about 10. Seeing the HSC people talking about their results definitely does not help lessen the agony of the wait haha!

I had a nightmare last night where I opened the results and ATAR app to see raw 10s for both my 3/4s. Urgh!!
Hey! :) I don’t do LOTE but I’m pretty sure you won’t be told your oral score unless you pay for a statement of marks.

What if you applied for a derived oral exam score? Will it be stated that the oral component is derived if successful?

Haha I’ve been sleeping a lot less than usual in the past few days and I’m not sure whether I’ll be able to get any tonight but I hope I do since I only got 6 last night. Good luck!
Same here! The closer to the release date, the later I go to sleep. Yesterday (technically today) I went to sleep at 5am and woke up at 3pm. I think that I might reach 7am today lol

Hi, I’m not sure if this is a dumb question but when we get our results from the website tomorrow, the study scores are raw until we click view atar, and then it shows the scaled scores, right? I was wondering whether the letter grades were also raw. So if I got a C+ raw in GA1 but it became a B after scaling, for example, would it say C+ or B?
Pretty sure they'll be raw - or it might have both (in which case it'll be labelled).

The letter grades are always raw, you'll get letter grades, a raw study score, and a scaled study score - the letter grades don't get changed (after they've been moderated, which is a seperate process).

Who's actually gonna get any sleep??

I recommend sleeping if you can - it'll help you with your emotional regulation tomorrow (especially if you need to go into your school for a careers meeting) :)


I hope I will :( (Although it may be nice to be tired enough to just fall asleep right after I find out and avoid all the questions lol

Pretend to sleep?

I used to have my marked assessments taken off me by classmates so they could see my results even in year 8 but on ATAR day people were more focused on their results than anything else. I hope you're pleasantly surprised by people leaving you alone

Your individual grades are moderated but not scaled. You'll see the moderated grades


good luck :)

Grades (GA) are final after doing all the moderation etc.

Usually with scaled study scores, you can see the difference as in a lot of cases the scaled SS is a decimal. You should see both.

I have no idea what the portal looks like today, but https://imgur.com/a/xTKeO3v should give you an idea of what to expect.

is it sad I still have a screenie of my resultsandatar portal from 2012 lol

Same. I keep having nightmares where I get just below the clearly in for my course haha - which is also kind of ridiculous since I qualify for EAS so I'd probably get in anyway lol
What's worrying me is that I dreamt getting a 43. But looking at my SAC marks and the fact that I was daydreaming about going iceskating throughout my ENTIRE exam, I'm a bit worried.

That's good you get at least that. I can remember when they didn't do that and students spam refreshed it until the servers crashed. I suppose it eases the load doing it the current way. Save them, you never know hey! I got a few upper 20s and I still save them.... dunno why but they're hidden very deep in my external hdd never to be publically shown

Judging by my screenies the raw ones would be in the study score section along with GAs, and the scaled are in the ATAR part.

On the day of the ATAR result release, I didn't get up at 7am.. I just slept as normal and opened the results when I woke up. Guaranteed load. ;)

No. As long as you don't randomly bring your results up in conversations on a semi-regular basis, it's fine

Yeah, mine (2017) were formatted similarly - with that info in a study scores table (raw and scaled) and the ATAR page seperate (but also showing scaled)

But I do, constantly.. cos as we know, everybody cares about the ATAR, ESPECIALLY at uni.
for those that think i'm actually serious, i'm not. Nobody cares at uni.

Edit: ouch I just looked at the screenies I uploaded again, that scaling...  :-X

if it's what you enjoy, scaling shouldn't matter too much anyways. ;)
I know it was certainly the case for me. Scaling sucked, but IT was the only sub I was actually good at lol

Good luck everyone! I hope that you're all pleased with your results :) If you're not, that's equally fine. Your ATAR really is just one key to the front door of your near future. There's heaps of other doors available through different ways and your ATAR doesn't define you. We're all here for you!

P.S: A reminder to all that results posted on AN tend to be skewed towards the top end of scores. They're definitely not representative of the rest of the state :)

App uses the same server to access the results so I would expect it to be the same. Best to wait half an hour or so
