The Talent 100 ATAR calculator does not seem to work as well as it used to a few years ago around when I completed my HSC. This would explain the low percentile figures for Mathematics Extension 1 and Mathematics Extension 2. However, as I was typing this, I realised that this is explained by...

UNSW will also require favourable results during your time at WSU (at least 1 year full-time for them to be considered) as well as favourable LAT performance. You would need to allocate time to prepare for the LAT in addition to that needed for your university studies. It may be challenging to...

When research is concerned, the rank of a university becomes more important. Generally speaking, USyd and UNSW both produce superior research output, both in quality and quantity, compared to other universities, making them the ideal choices if the end goal is to undertake a PhD. As such, the...

Simply do your best at WSU to achieve the best possible results, as that will maximise your chances of receiving an offer from either UTS or USyd. :)

The issue is that the university that a graduate attended is taken into consideration in the legal field compared to other fields. This becomes increasingly relevant in the case of larger/well-established firms, which favour graduates from universities such as USyd and UNSW. A student whose aim...

Your issue is consistent with the category P01A: Disability or long-term medical condition under the Educational Access Scheme (EAS). The number of points that you can receive can vary depending on the specific university. For example, UNSW has a limit of 10 points whereas WSU has a limit of 5...

Taking English Extension 1 in year 12 requires the completion of the English Extension year 11 course. The same applies to Mathematics Extension 1. If you do not take and complete the year 11 course, you will not be eligible to take the year 12 course. This is part of NESA subject rules and does...

A raw HSC exam mark is the actual mark that a student receives in an HSC exam without any adjustments of any kind. NESA does not inform students of their raw HSC exam marks, although students can request them from NESA at a fee. An HSC mark refers to the overall mark that a student achieves in...

Ideally, it would be good to do a combination of all three. Revising content that you have already learned will help you remain familiar with that content. Completing practice material, such as past exams covering that content will also help you confirm whether you are able to effectively apply...

Here is what I think: Overall, the paragraph is well-written (including from a content and case study perspective), with some parts that can be written in a simpler way and others that can be written more concisely. You should also avoid using additional words that increase word count but do...

Essentially, a double major involves studying two fields as part of one degree, which can also be achieved by studying a double degree, although the former constitutes a shorter path time-wise compared to the latter. This is evident given that the Bachelor of Advanced Computing is a 4-year...

Generally speaking, the more recent the case study, the better. While the two-year limit set by your teacher is good, the maximum limit tends to be up to 5 years. This is based on an unofficial consensus rather than official syllabus rules. :)

You seem to have a good understanding of the potentially changing circumstances in year 12. Generally speaking, some students do not perform as favourably in year 11 as they do in year 12, which can be for one of two reasons: Lack of effort needed to ensure favourable performance Using year 11...

Essentially, the system has a comparative foundation, meaning that the ATAR reflects your level of performance relative to your year's HSC cohort, where a higher ATAR reflects superior performance to a certain percentage of students. This in turn means that your performance in each of your...

That is also possible. You could contact the relevant university to see if they could perhaps clarify this specific aspect.

Yes, although it is unclear whether rejected applicants would be notified now or on the January Round 1 date. A potential problem is if the intention is to notify rejected applicants on the January Round 1 date, in which case there is no way to confirm your particular outcome since rejected...

No worries, UAC’s description of this status implies that the university has deemed that you are eligible for consideration (i.e. they have assessed your statement). In your particular case, it likely indicates that you have been added to an applicant pool and your chance of receiving an offer...

The "Decision pending – additional selection criteria" status means that the relevant institution has not yet decided whether you have met the additional selection criteria for the course that you applied for (the personal statement in this case). The "You will be competing with other applicants...

The Dalyell Scholars stream is essentially USyd's way of distinguishing high-achieving students. Students who achieve an ATAR of 98 or above (or a lower ATAR under an admission pathway) are automatically eligible for the Dalyell Scholars stream. It offers a number of benefits that would not be...
