    Shortest Pathway into Medicine, with an atar of 96?

    If you really want to do med, you won't care what uni you go to: Newcastle uni/ UNE atar cutoff is 94.3 iirc, try that. Once you meet the atar and umat cutoffs they base their selections entirely on the interview. Try that if you want

    English Advanced VS English Standard

    I dropped down from advanced at the end of year 11 because of a shit rank, but I can say that compared to advanced, standard is easier in some regard. The modules we do are more simplistic in nature. If you think you can get a band 6 or close in standard go for it, it actually scales decently...

    Law entry should be made harder

    I heard somewhere that there were talks to implement something similar to the UMAT for law in the future. It would stop the demographic who get a surprisingly high atar, and think, "Oh I can do law, I'll do that instead of what I wanted".

    Combining Study Periods into Study Day

    It would all come down to the individual, and how disciplined they are. Like Drifting95 said, one is more likely to be less efficient if they have ALL DAY to study. It would be easier to procrastinate imo. People at my school sometimes have a double free last, so they go home at lunch. They then...

    How hard is law if you are bad at writing english essays.

    Would you say that essays in Law are more similar to English essays or Modern History essays (to those that did both subs)? I know they are similar but in general I was v poor in advanced English (hence my drop to standard), but am pretty good with mods.

    Applied finance & Commerce- Professional Accounting at Macq. Uni

    Hey. I am considering Applied Finance at MQU, but its third on my preferences. I'm aiming for an atar of 94+, so I can get into UNSW or USyd Commerce. If I don't make it I'll do Applied Finance at MQU, but idk if I'll combine it with anything or not. Maybe try transfer into AF/Law after a year...

    Worried: HSC-Atar- Medicine

    It all depends on your school ranking, what is it approximately? Also, for med, do you care where you study it? Because Univeristy of south Australia has a atar requirement of only 90- look into it.

    Bachelor of Applied Finance- 3U maths recommended

    On the Macquarie uni site on the B. Applied Finance page it recommends doing 3U maths in the hsc. How true is this? Can someone doing 2U get by, or should you do a bridging course? What 3U concepts are there? Thanks

    Atar estimates and university entries

    Estimates do not count towards your atar in any way, except if you want to apply for undergrad med, where they take your estimate after the trials to determine if you reach their cutoffs (offers for interviews are released before the atars come out).

    Questions on UMAT

    1. Good luck 2. If you are serious about med/dentistry, no 3. The minimum varies.PLaces like UNSW I think you need around 80+ to get an interview (of course it varies according to atar and other stuff) 4. Most universities select people based off UMAT + ATAR + interview. In theory the higher...

    Med in Uni

    I don't know much about UWS med, but you should know that with med unlike other careers like business/finance, the employers have very little preference of where their employees graduated from as the MBBS is pretty much universal across universities. Obviously try and get into UNSW for the sake...

    Advice for UMAT

    For section 2 at least wide reading and vocab is recommended. So read the paper etc. There are also sites that can teach you new words, which improves your vocab. Tbh I don't know much about preparing for section 1, except maybe reading quicker.

    Need some advice regarding courses

    So one of my two possible career ideas is banking (trading), and I was looking for some advice/opinions on the right course to go for. I talked to my careers adviser at school about it, and she stressed the UTS business course. Said it was very well respected etc. I also let her know of my...

    Standard English

    I also do standard, and I reckon it is perfectly reasonable to get a 95 atar with it. My school is also around the 25-35 rank mark, and we consistently have the top 2/3 students in the standard cohort getting a band 6 in standard (top ~50 in state). If you do scrape a B6, it actually scales very...

    Best umat preparation course

    Just finished my Medentry course today haha. It IS expensive, the majority of the value is their online resources that you get access to. The actual course takes you through how to answer questions from the three sections etc- strategies, steps etc etc etc. I would recommend Medentry, but if...
