You can also listen on: Spotify, Amazon Music and Audible.
What we’re talking about:
0:47 VCE results pep talk
If you got the results you were hoping for…congratulations! Make sure you celebrate your achievement. If you’re upset about your results, it’s ok that you’re feeling that way, and I want to give you some perspective to get you back on track.
4:58 Should you rethink your preference list now you have your results?
Unless you honestly initially chose your preferences because you didn’t believe you would get an ATAR high enough to get into your dream course, if you got a higher ATAR than expected, you probably shouldn’t change your preferences.
7:20 Your results are no one else’s business
You don’t have to talk about your results if you don’t want to. If you want to share, go for it. If you don’t want to, just tell people you’re happy with them and move on.
8:17 How to make sure you get an offer this round
Check that you have the subject requirements for all of the courses on your preference list. If you have courses there where you haven’t met the subject prerequisites, take them off your list because you will not get an offer for those courses. When it comes to selection ranks, remember that the ones listed on the VTAC website are from last year. It’s a good indication of what it will be this year but it can change slightly. It’s ok to have courses on your preference list that have a higher selection rank than your ATAR, but make sure you have at least one course on your preference list with a lowest selection rank lower than your ATAR to maximise your chances of getting an offer in this round.
