More than 44,000 Victorian VCE students have received their ATAR results and almost 40 have taken out the highest possible rank.
Students were able to access their final marks from 7am on Monday, with the average ATAR for this year's cohort coming in at 70.33 - about one point above last year's average.
Of the 44,173 students to receive an ATAR, 39 got the highest possible rank of 99.95. Eight of the top students were female and 31 were male.
Receiving their results means students can turn their minds to next steps, with VCAL graduates also receiving their final marks on Monday.
The Victorian Tertiary Admissions Centre is set to release course offers in December for the first time since 2019.
"The December offer round will provide many year 12 students with certainty about their future study journey in time for Christmas," admissions centre chief executive Teresa Tjia said.
"With their year 12 studies successfully completed, students can feel proud of their achievements and look forward to an exciting future of opportunities and pathways to realise their aspirations and ambitions."
Ms Tija encouraged students to finalise their course preferences through the admissions centre by 4pm on December 14.
Students will receive first offers from most Victorian courses on December 21, while further offers will be made in January.
This year's ATAR calculations took in almost 22,000 unique VCE subject combinations.
The most common combination was used by 316 students, who each took English, further mathematics, psychology, biology, and health and human development.
Students who want to ask questions about their VCE or ATAR results can contact the Post Results and ATAR Service.
