I hope to see you all for the traditional ATARNotes all-nighter until the results are released. Be there or be square.

(Image removed from quote.)

On a more serious note, i felt much less anxious having them not texted to me. It would have been hard to ignore on my phone and at the time i couldnt get rid of the "unread message" thing without actually reading it. Checking them online gave me way more control. A few of you might feel similar.

LOL!

I'll definitely be up for the all-nighter!!

No, I prefer to be in control, I don't like the idea of the ATAR being sent to ME. I want to prepare myself, I want to look at the score when I feel ready.

I'll be checking online rather than the text as well!

Text message = raw SS & ATAR after scaling
VCAA mail = raw SS sheet but comes with VTAC scaling sheet
Online website = both raw and scaled SS and ATAR

Is this right ?

Exact same reason for me (but SS instead)
I want to be ready (if I ever will be) rather than be so tempted to open it and not be ready

I signed up to get an SMS but what's better -  SMS or online? And what's the format of the SMS? Study scores first or the actual ATAR?

My plan:
1) Wake up to read the dreaded text message
2) Turn my my phone off and sleep to my heart's content
3) Wake up, turn my phone back on and anticipate many missed calls and text messages :P

I've signed up for kicks but have mixed feelings about it. Last year I signed up but forgot, so at 7.10am in the morning - "aw geez I hate this alarm tone, hey I got a message who is it from-- OH OKAY"

It hasn't hit me yet... maybe it will tomorrow night... 5 hours before... :P

My Plan:
1) Wake up at 5am to get amongst the ATAR Notes vibe :P
2) Once it hits 7am, record a "Reaction to ATAR 2013" video.
3) Attempt to stay awake as a means to deal with all the anticipated calls and text messages XD

I'm considering it, but I'm getting it via text, so it'd be awkward, 'cos my parents would have to film.
But seconding this thought, ATAR unboxing for those willing!

I'm getting it through an SMS. I am dying to know whether I got above a 25 or not. I don't have the patience to wait to view it all online, especially with my dodgy computer that barely works and will sometimes restart itself randomly, and with the website crashing like it did last year.

I just registered for the text and I am actually so much more scared now ahah! Although, the site will probably have alot of traffic leading to delays so it's good to have a backup, even though i'm not expecting the best results.

I'm a yr 11 student,

I tried apply and got the invalid PIN message.

I'm born on the 11/11/96...so my PIN should be 1111...not sure if its a glitch in the system or whatever.

Anybody had this problem?

No I never made a VTAC account or whatever, school never even mentioned a PIN.

If anyone can help it would be appreciated.

So you've sent the text to 19787888, with the VTAC Number without the letter (eg. 12345678) SPACE then Pin? (for you 1111)

The resulting message would simply be 12345678 1111 to the number 19787888.

If that's not a solution then I'm not sure what is haha.
