Final countdown to ATAR and study score release

[DoctorTwo]

Thanks for your responses guys

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).

Also, sorry, I didn't realise it was already asked about somewhere else! I'll make sure to check next time

Does my school get a copy of my results the day before is this right?

Pretty sure they do, but they can't tell you anything about it (we discussed this here)

OK thanks sorry.

OK thanks sorry.

No need to be sorry! I just linked that thread so you could read the whole discusssion

Hi! For LOTE subjects will we be told our scores for the oral exam?

[PhoenixxFire]

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!!

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

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.

I remember having a dream a few nights before results release that I got an ATAR of 12.00. Was interesting.

I have come to that point in the panic wherein I can only communicate in memes

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.

Not having the guarantee is a bit of a blessing in some ways to be perfectly honest. Without a safety blanket, you're almost forced to apply yourself a bit more.

Considering the 99 Guarantee is a FFP it would be silly not to do the GAMSAT and go for a CSP position regardless of whether you have the FFP secured or not. I'd definitely try and go for a CSP but, like you said, the guarantee is still a safety blanket in that if you do get unlucky with the GAMSAT/GPA but fulfill the requirements you can still get into Medicine. I would still have to maintain a considerable WAM of 70%+ and pass the interview.

Is it a good idea to repeat year 12?

Who's actually gonna get any sleep??

Generally no - you can do a pathway (e.g. a diploma) that will generally get you into wherever you want to be faster (or at least at the same speed) than repeating and it'll be more interesting than just redoing things.

Who's actually gonna get any sleep??

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

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?

Who's actually gonna get any sleep??

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!

I'm pretty sure for the letter grades for GA1 GA2 etc it will be scaled so B but im not 100% sure so if im wrong, someone correct me
