Good stuff. The only reason kids should be stressed about their ATAR is if they have a particular uni course picked out they want to do and it has a high requirement.

Otherwise, apart from uni course entry requirements, no one will ever ask them what score they got for the rest of their life. It's not make or break.

Saw the cardiologist today for the test results.

Basically, green light and discharged. No blockages, Heart functions good pre and post exercise, some signs of high blood pressure but I aint going to have a heart attack any time soon. BP was 125/80

So, for a 53 yr old bloke who drinks too much, smokes and doesn't exercise anywhere near enough, I'm only a bit overweight (190cm/100kg) and all the tests on blood and vital organs are either good or not bad enough to require intervention.

I'll take that :D
