    Case studies question

    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. :)

    Preliminary ranks - how drastically do they change in the HSC year?

    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...

    Getting 90+ atar with Industrial Technology / IT

    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...

    UAC application status changed - is it good?

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

    UAC application status changed - is it good?

    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...

    UAC application status changed - is it good?

    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...

    UAC application status changed - is it good?

    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...

    Dalyell Scholars

    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...

    How many points would I likely revive for EAS at UNSW?

    Did you apply for P01A? If you did, and if your application is upheld, the minimum that you can receive is 1 point. With points from HSC Plus, you would meet the selection rank requirement for the degree that you are interested in, consequently increasing your chances of receiving an offer.

    Speculative ATAR estimate

    The fact that you do not yet have a rank based on your performance in the Studies of Religion I year 12 course means that we would have to consider your year 11 position instead, which may limit the accuracy of estimates that you might receive. However, you can still gain a reasonable idea of...

    early entry

    I think that there is a chance, although I doubt that it is guaranteed that you receive an early offer for the Bachelor of Accounting with your year 11 grades. Yes, other than the fact that you still need to complete your HSC, an early offer under MQ's Leaders and Achievers Early Entry Scheme...

    Fail for first year 12 assessment -> Band 6 Impossible?

    The information that was provided above constitutes a good summary. Essentially, your overall HSC mark in a subject consists of two marks, which are the Assessment Mark and the Examination Mark. The average of these two marks is taken, and that figure is the overall HSC mark in a particular...

    if you want to apply for external uni transfer, does uac examine your overall wam or just the most recent wam from your most recent uni?

    The answer to this question may vary depending on the specific university and degree. If a university chooses to focus only on making offers to year 12 students in the offer round that follows ATAR release, then it is unlikely that you will receive an offer during that offer round. On the other...

    if you want to apply for external uni transfer, does uac examine your overall wam or just the most recent wam from your most recent uni?

    Sorry, could you please clarify? Are you saying that you already received your university results, or that you are about to receive them but are unsure whether you would receive them if they are being released concurrently with HSC results? Essentially, universities are not connected to NESA or...

    The 2024 U.S. election thread 🇺🇸 🦅

    This is an extremely unpleasant truth that we knew of about part of the Palestinians as well as the whole of Hamas long ago. With the devastating developments in Syria, the possibility of the Palestinians getting anything out of their conflict with Israel has become pretty much non-existent.

    ATAR Prediction

    Yes, that would be the approximate ATAR that you may achieve in the worst-case scenario. The rank change in Modern History, while reflecting a lower position, is not significant. This means that its impact on this estimate (as well as others that you may receive) will likely be negligible.
