Glad i’m not the only one having ATAR opening dreams.

It’s been a great journey this year. Good luck to everyone for tomorrow!

Best of luck to everyone for tomorrow, y'all have worked hard all year, and we're all here to support you through the results period! x

[Joseph41]

Echoing the above. Best of luck, everybody.

does anyone have an estimate as to when the honour roll will come out?

I don't have an answer to this unfortunately but instead another question: does anyone know when the honour roll is published in the newspaper? (it's in The Age, right?)

From memory, I think it'll go out on the weekend. I could be wrong

It has also been known to come out on a Monday or Tuesday, too. I think it's pretty variable

Looks like last year’s was December 13 (https://www.theage.com.au/national/2017-vce-student-honour-roll-20171213-h03sl8.html), I’m not sure what day the results actually came out though. Can a 2017 year 12 confirm please?

Also, does the honour roll show raw or scaled scores? So if I got 40 in a subject that scaled to 38, would I be on it for that subject?

And also, has anyone not received their vass email with gat results yet? My friend told me she received them just before 7 and I haven’t yet, and it’s almost been 3 hours.

Might just be coming out slowly, so I'd wait a little. There's a lot (50k+) of you so it might take a little time to get to everybody.

For those wondering, the age 40+ list will be out on Tuesday, not sure if the one from VCAA will be out earlier.

Hey guys! Just wondering, does anyone know what exactly is the purpose of the VCE Baccalaureate? Like, I guess it could potentially make your VCE certificate seem more “fancy” but is there a practical purpose (like when applying for courses/unis and stuff). Thanks!

Nope. Just looks kind of cool in your resume and says “I’m a diverse student”. And you get a different shade of blue in your certificate so it looks a little fancier. (I received one of these in the first year they were given out, hence why I know.)

EDIT: Its purpose was to reward and attempt to encourage a more diverse subject range (including one of the "higher level maths" - VCAA's words not mine) and at least 5 U3/4 subjects. IIRC, to receive it, you have to study a LOTE, Maths (either Methods or Spesh) and English (or equivalents; 30+ raw SS, except EAL where 33+ raw SS). This is confirmed with this document.

Are VTAC offers emailed to our personal or school email??

[Joseph41]

All the best for first round offers, everybody.

Are VTAC offers emailed to our personal or school email??

I can't really remember, but I assume whichever email address you used to make your VTAC account.

Whatever email you gave them
