How VCE students reacted after their 'rollercoaster journey' Normal text size Credit:Emma Anvari Marty Schwarz received a pleasant surprise when he checked his VCE results on Wednesday morning. He found he was one of the 38 students in Victoria who had achieved an ATAR of 99.95 – the highest possible result. "It’s amazing, I’m thrilled," Marty said. "It has certainly been a rollercoaster journey and I'm just really happy that we've all got to this point." Marty is interested in studying data science and artificial intelligence but is still "vacillating between a couple of different courses". "I've got a couple of tough decisions to make," he said.
