    Re applying for UAC after a gap year?

    Hi guys, Just wondering, let's say I apply for courses at the end of this year (my HSC year) and get into a course. I'm going on a gap year, so I defer it to 2016 and all is good. What if part way through next year I decide I want to do something completely different? Can I re apply for...

    Best way to study for english?

    Hi guys English is my weakest subject, and so I need to make it better. Thing is, I don't know the most effective way of studying. From experience, the best way is just past questions, but every question is different, for example I could do every question on Frankenstein and guarantee that...

    Lower UMAT cutoffs?

    Haha no, dirt roads would be like the highest rural rating. Past blue mountains is rural for the most part. Look here http://www.health.gov.au/internet/otd/publishing.nsf/Content/locator

    Hey guys, fairly simple question. Just wondering when UMAT results normally come out. I've looked everywhere, but can only find 'around end of September', anyone have a more exact date or when they've come out in previous years? Will they come out before UAC preferences are due? Cheers

    For those who get 14/15 for creative writing, please advise.

    Don't go in with a pre-prepared story (no matter what your friends are doing). Our teacher- and i think this is a good idea- is to go in with pre prepared characters and settings- usually you can modify these to any question. If you have a good idea of the protagonists and settings etc earlier...
