With less than a week until results are released, how are you all feeling?

I just wanna know already, but at the same time ignorance is a bliss and I kinda don’t want to know. Every time I picture myself logging in to that vce results app I get anxiety and can feel my blood pressure rising loooool. This time next week I’ll finally know that one number tho, so we’re nearly there

Not kidding, this actually happened to me. However I was lucky enough to get an early conditional offer due to disadvantage/special entry scheme. Anyways, if you get that close, chances are you'll get picked up via middle band or even 2nd round. Gotta remember too that not all offers that are accepted are taken, some withdraw as they were only holding onto their first round offer as a safety net. You'll be right :)

Unfortunately this is not for a course (I plan to do science at UoM which is a reasonable 85) but the UoM graduate entry guarantee for med/dent which requires a minimum of 99.
No special consideration or rounds to help me here making missing it by a few ATAR points very painful haha.

I can already feel the disappointment coming even though I’ve worked so hard this year and gotten decent results for the SAC’s. I’m not even sure I want to see my study scores, just my ATAR. 😭😭

I know right?

I know this is a silly question but do those of you who received your results in previous years think you should look at your study scores or your ATAR first? It’s obviously semantics but I’ve been thinking about it all day because I believe there really are advantages and disadvantages to both. Have any of you actually looked at your ATAR before your study scores and what did you think of it that way? Thanks :)

Personally I did study scores first for a couple of reasons - I thought SS's were more meaningful because that is what I was working towards and ATAR is just a result of that also I would have a rough idea of the ATAR by looking at the SS's.

Although really just depends on the person (I think this topic has been discussed lately on the Class of 2018 thread)

Others like getting ATAR first because they can lift that pressure off early (especially if they feel they are on the borderline for a course) and then look through SS's. Also if you look at SS's first you will have a few seconds of panic calculating an ATAR (so really a positive and negative depending on the person).

I was more worried about not getting 30+ in eng lang than my ATAR so I looked at my study scores first. My take was to get the most anxiety out of the way as soon as I could, & I was happy with that approach.

I looked at my study scores first because I wasn't confident with English and didn't know if I was going to get the 25 I needed for most of my courses (I got a 26). For me, the ATAR wouldn't have mattered if I didn't get the English score.

Also, remember clearly-ins are not set in stone. Many fall under it, so you just never know. :)
Preference #1 should always be what you want to study most, with only one exception - conditional offers that state you must put them as first as your preferences.
