Thank you, will take note on these morning timeslot.Just a tip from me; do not choose an 8am timeslot when you have to travel an hour to get in , i think that might have hindered my performance.

Do you know anything about the test centres in Brisbane?Just a tip from me; do not choose an 8am timeslot when you have to travel an hour to get in , i think that might have hindered my performance.
1. Depends on your workload and how well you manage your time, but for a busy Year 12, 20-30 minutes a day or every two days won't hurt, although if you do a practice exam that's a two hour commitment which you might wanna reserve for the weekends.Questions...
How much time per week should I practice on UCAT questions?
Should I be mindful when choosing test locations and dates?
Is the screen calculator useful?
A close friend of mine failed to secure a place this year so I think I should investigate this thoroughly.

Yep, it’s very important to get into a rhythm with your practice. Eleanor Rigby Personally I did Medify questions most weeknights, and always did a MedEntry or Medify mock exam every Saturday morning (naturally with the exception of assessment periods). As it gets closer to your testing date, you might want to start doing your mock exams at the same time as you’ll be sitting the actual exam so you’re not thrown off on the actual day.1.

Maybe there's a greater importance on the UCAT than the weightings suggest?
I'd bet it's on VR similar to what WSU usesyeah that's what I was thinking, seems like Curtin might have a UCAT cutoff which they don't advertise alongside the 60% ATAR / 40% UCAT split
Sorry to hear that you didn’t land a Monash offer. The answer to your question is neither: Common pitfalls to avoid for year 12 school leavers and other medicine applicantsAlso, if I am unable to get a direct entry Monash offer, is the Melbourne or Monash biomed/graduate medicine course better?

Specific Question: Chances for interview at Monash? If I do manage to receive an interview around how strong would I have to perform (70+ %tile?) to be accepted, given that I'm an interstate applicant. Thanks

Cal 's already in dent - he did well but yeeeYou're going to get an amazing score this year. I can just feel it!
What subjects do you do? 99 atar (with bonuses) is required to be eligible for UQ's medical course (provisional. This means that your 98 is not enough unless you are doing math specialist or a language or both. Once you cross that hurdle, a 90th percentile UCAT at UQ would be (at most) able to snag you a bonded place - this depends on how much the cutoffs bounce back since 2020 intake was affected by the half cohort graduating from QLD schools.Hey,
With an atar of ~98 accompanied with SEAS and Monash guarantee (Victorian), as well as a 90th percentile UCAT, what are my chances at Monash, UQ Dent/med, UoAdel dent/med, Curtin and Bond?
I am doing specialist maths so i'll get 2 points for UQ. Does this boost my atar to a 99.95?What subjects do you do? 99 atar (with bonuses) is required to be eligible for UQ's medical course (provisional.

From my experience, depends on how high your 98 ATAR is when applying to Curtin. I know people who didn't manage to get Curtin invites with a high 99 but a 80th UCAT. I would reckon a lower 98 ATAR might not be enough to get you an interview at Curtin.
You'd be on the border for getting an interview at Adelaide for med, I think you'd clear dent interview cutoffs with a 90th though. Adelaide's interviews can make or break your chances - so I'm not gonna speculate on that. I'll let a staff member do that.
Yes it does, but for UQ the 99 is only a hurdle so getting it boosted to a 99.95 vs. just a 99 doesn't mean anything to them - that's why they give it out more generously.I am doing specialist maths so i'll get 2 points for UQ. Does this boost my atar to a 99.95?
How about my chances at monash with the MG?Yes it does, but for UQ the 99 is only a hurdle so getting it boosted to a 99.95 vs. just a 99 doesn't mean anything to them - that's why they give it out more generously.

Do you know the exact/approximate selection rank MG boosts you to? 99? 99.5? etc.How about my chances at monash with the MG?
