How to get your VCE results and ATAR
- Register first. Go to resultsandatar.vic.edu.au or download the Results and ATAR app. Give your name, VCAA student number, date of birth and an email address, and choose a password of at least 8 characters with an uppercase letter, a lowercase letter, a number and a special character.
- Log in on results day. Use your VCAA student number and the password you created, not your VTAC ID or VTAC PIN. They are separate, and changing one does not change the other.
- Read your results. You see your certificate status, every Year 12 study with grades and study scores, and, if you qualify, your ATAR and VTAC scaled study scores.
You can access the service from overseas, but the VCAA says security restrictions may stop access from outside Australia in the first 15 minutes. If you forget your student number, your school has it. VCAA study scores and statements also arrive by registered email.
What you will see
The VCAA sends a Statement of Results listing every unit result (S or N), your three graded assessments for each study, your study score and your GAT statement. Certificates are sent to your school. If you qualify for an ATAR, VTAC provides the ATAR and the scaled study scores that built it. Year 11 students who completed a Unit 3 and 4 study see only the raw study score. To understand the numbers see VCE study scores explained, VCE scaling explained and the ATAR in Victoria.
If you need help on results day
The Post Results and ATAR Service is run by the VCAA and VTAC. It answers questions about your results and ATAR but cannot give you actual results. Call 1800 653 080 (free) or (03) 9637 3877, or email pras@education.vic.gov.au. In 2026 it is open Thursday 10 December from 7 am to 5 pm, and Friday 11, Monday 14 and Tuesday 15 December from 9 am to 5 pm. VTAC is on (03) 9926 1020.
While you wait, keep working
If you are heading into Year 12 next, sit a short timed paper: Year 12 Maths, Year 12 Physics, Year 12 Chemistry or Year 12 Biology. Each is 8 questions worth 25 to 35 marks, and the results page shows a predicted grade from A to E with typical cut-offs.
Common mistakes on results day
- Not registering. You cannot log in until you have registered with your VCAA student number.
- Using the VTAC login. The service uses the VCAA student number and your results password.
- Leaving it until the service closes. It ends at 5 pm on Tuesday 15 December. Your ATAR is then in your VTAC account.
- Not paying the VTAC fee. Digital ATAR statements go only to paid VTAC applicants. Others can buy a printed one.
