I've got this funny feeling that I'll be dead before the results are available

[m@tty]

But how will they know what their scaled score is?

By the way, some people I know/met have said that they wouldn't lose any sleep just for results and some *cough* m@tty will wake up at twelve. It's not that I intentionally plan to be an insomniac, the question is, how do you fall asleep despite the nervous and agony of waiting? Like I just don't know how I'll calm myself down.

Knowing 5 hours earlier makes very, very little difference. It would be interesting if you got a scholarship call before you even look at your score.

And how does not sleeping help you? It only leads to further anxiety and allows further contemplation of failure. For me, I just go to bed as normal. However, if it's anything like exams then it will take an extra hour to get to sleep xD But I don't pan to get up early just because of results..

(I may though just to see other members' results or to see before my dad goes to work...)

BUT everybody knows you can't just FORCE yourself to sleep, you need to be in a state of calm.
m@tty, I won't get a scholarship, but you will
and 99.95ers know the night before, I heard.

Because if people have their VCE they have access to their scaled scores. I'm guessing the ATAR report gives a full list of scaled scores (someone confirm this). Year 11s can't find out because they have no ATAR.

I know... Even in year 11 I really struggled to sleep. I think I might go for the method of exhaustion the night before. If I have little sleep on Saturday night, then logically, Sunday night will be an easier sleep Good luck for your sleep, and results

oh dude, way to confuse me. I am in year 12 so I'd know my scaled score right?!

VTAC will give you your scaled score as all scaling is done by VTAC and not VCAA. They're on two separate websites and since the websites have seemingly changed now, I'm not too sure what's where especially with the whole ATAR system and so on. Anyone have any idea?

Apparently the principle calls the top 6 students (who knows if I'll even be one but I go to a shit school so there's a good chance I guess) at like 8:30 on results day. I would hate for my principle to call me and tell me my result instead of me just looking at it myself, so I'm kinda forced to look at it in the morning and not sleep in. The anticipation is killing me so I'll definitely be up at 7 anyway.

[Fyrefly]

Lol... you guys realise the waiting game starts all over again after results?

Round One Offers =)

What school do you go to? My school isn't prestigious enough so they only give Dux to one person. Why would they even do that?
In 2008 this pair of twins got DUX together, even though they were off by like 0.5. I reckon if it was a pair of non-twins they wouldn't give shared dux, and then I heard a rumour today that they weren't even dux but since they were twins with similar scores it might have been cool.
I don't believe that rumour though.

[chelseaFC]

Most of my friends plan to just wakeup whenever and just look at their SMS. I can't belied there so relaxe about it. I will probably be on my laptop at 6:30 am just refreshing... And I'm only year 11 with one 3/4

[iffets12345]

^ I Know, I mean I WANT to be relaxed, but just naturally I'm so nervous! I WANT TO BE CALM but I don't know how to force myself to not be this way. URGH I FEEL SO LAME. People like m@tty here are so calm and they'll be the ones waking up to a 45 raw in chem LOL the pure irony.
