If I remember correctly, for midyears, the grade distributions came out approx. a week before results came out.

So perhaps something similar for end of year.

I took a look on archive.org, but they didn't seem to have enough data for me to determine what date the end-of-year 2010 grade distributions came out :(

three more days sounds good for some temporary exam score relieving

The mid year ones came a couple of week before the results did

i remember last year that the graded distribution stuff (end of year) came out a few hours after the results...but i'm probably wrong

I would guesstimate and say they COULD be out by Monday, considering (another guesstimate) teachers/schools would be given our results by then??

I'm afraid I have bad news, last year I wanted to know this exact same thing. I couldn't access the stats until a number of weeks after results came out :\ I think it's because they need to work on soooo many subjects because they release them all in one big go. While for mid years there's very few that need to be prepared that's why they come out earlier. It might change this year, but if it stays the same then it won't be for a couple of weeks that you'll be able to access the stats on the website. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but at least now you know!! :)

Are you saying the teachers find out our results on Monday? Whereas we find them out next Friday?

I dont know about if its Monday, but I know they receive our subject scores a couple of days before us. I just assumed it would be Monday.
And in hindsight, Slumdawg is right. I remember the statistics for some subjects, let alone the examiners reports, came out a couple of weeks after school began in the following year.

wow so if youre really desperate you can contact youre teacher for your scores? haha that might come in handy if I'm getting too uncomfortably impatient

Post by: nubs on December 08, 2011, 07:03:41 pm
oh I didn't know that, how'd you find that out? The thing about the teachers getting our results before us
Title: Re: subject statistics
Post by: REBORN on December 08, 2011, 07:04:42 pm
teachers will never tell you your result before you get it 'officially'
Title: Re: subject statistics
Post by: ShortBlackChick on December 08, 2011, 10:07:47 pm
Yeah I dont think they will tell anyone. I think its more for them to know sort of thing.

But I actually cant remember where I got the idea that teachers get our scores before us. I think it could have been a teacher themself that told me, or I could have read it on the vcaa website but I tried looking for it and I couldnt find it, so I dont know.
But I have a feeling it was my VCE Co-ordinator :/

Aww man, I saw my classics teacher a few days ago and she gave me a sympathetic smile. Now I'm slightly paranoid!   :'(
I doubt they would have recieved our scores *this* early though, would they?

What, really?

I talked to my my ex-Revs teacher a few days after my exams and she asked me to let her know how I go, because apparently the teachers don't get told unless you've gotten a 50 or a 99.95 or something?

Nah you sign a document which allows the school to access your results. I don't know if they can access them before the 16th though...

Post by: funkyducky on December 08, 2011, 11:24:24 pm
From what I remember, the school finds out a day or two beforehand.

I found a doc that says that schools get results before, but its really vague in saying when. This isnt where I got my info, and I'm pretty sure they get the results <1 week before we do, unlike what this says:

Whereabouts does it say the schools get the results before we do?
Title: Re: subject statistics
Post by: ShortBlackChick on December 09, 2011, 01:31:31 am
About page 151, but again, its very vague, and its not where I got the notion from.

Obviously that doesnt mean they get our results as soon as our exams finish- I assume that means they recieve general data about examinations within a school. I guess they'd get our results somewhere close to the end of that period, but before us.

Judging from what I skimmed over, the schools received the results the same day last year's class did

I was curious about this too last year so when my principal called me up after results were released I asked him when he knew. Apparently he was able to access it the day before the rest of us were. Most of the teachers have a big meeting to discuss results, I think it's a sort of professional development thing. Although they're legally obligated to not reveal anything. So it's just 24 hours earlier, no biggie. Hope that clears things up :)

Yeah that makes sense. Because last year our results came out on a Monday yeah(??), and I knew teachers got results on the Friday before, so I assumed it was a couple of days before, but it makes sense that they really receive it a day before, but because last years release was on a Monday, the teachers would get it on the Friday rather than the weekend.
