Stay Cool: End-Of-Year Results Are Basically Here

For some young Aussies, today's the day.

VCE and ATAR results have begun rolling out for Victorians, with 35 students managing the epic tertiary entrance rank of 99.95.

(If you didn't quite manage a score of that magnitude, it's important to remember that scores aren't everything. Listen to the advice of our Back to School With guests for evidence!)

According to the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCAA), a record number of students gained their secondary school certificate in 2015. More than 13,000 students also completed their VCAL certificate this year too.

Almost 47,000 students will receive their Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) today, with ACT and SA students discovering their scores tomorrow and NSW students following on Wednesday. Queenslanders will have their Year 12 results posted on December 18. West Australians will have to wait until December 30 for their WACE/ATAR results.

To everyone who received their marks today, congrats! You've earned a good, long break. To those still waiting... we know how you feel. Hang in there.
