We recommend that you update your browser
The Office of the Board of Studies NSW is committed to ensuring the complete confidentiality of all data exchanges on the internet and use strong encryption on all eBOS services such as Schools Online.

For this to work correctly, you need to use a relatively up-to-date browser. If you are using a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer prior to version 5.5 on Windows, for example, you may not be able to access the eBOS secure services. We recommend that you upgrade your browser now.

Internet Explorer 6 can be updated, using Service Pack 1.

I tried Students Online during the time I had posted (first time around) for elizabethy, and it had worked then. I have now visited Students Online and it does not work either.

I suspect that they are undertaking routine (or rather, annual) server maintenance, just as the Bored perform maintenance once in a blue moon. I suspect that during the next 24 hours they will be working around the clock to ensure that students will be able to access their marks, by the proposed deadline/ETA. :)

You'll be able to view your HSC results, don't worry Missi. :)

I assume that the Board will be ensuring or rather, running stress tests on their servers, ensuring that any expected (or rather, unexpected!) server loads can be properly managed and systems in-place to counter-act or combat such large volumes of website requests.

If all else fails, check back every few hours, but don't be losing any sleep because the website doesn't work right this moment - it's only the morning of the 17th! :)

And if I'm wrong, I have three people to apologise to. :p

This service is available from 6am Thursday 18th December 2003

We have 28:43 (hours, minutes) until we can blame them, along with the other 59,999 kids who are equally cranky. :)

Minus me, I'll be asleep or online, avoiding BOS (and UAC on the 19th). :p

Why of course, :)

Emails, ICQ, IRC, MSN, telephone calls, mail, doorknocks, homing pigeons, smoke signals, etc. :p

True, and I've thought about this. I'm not avoiding it, I'm prolonging it.

I'm going to wait until the dust settles. I can't stand the: "omg wat did u get????" frenzy. :)
