i dont get the atar thing (2 Viewers)

[mesbaz]

I heard it is 0 that going to be the lowest score O___O also I heard that disadvantage school like me won't get any more extra marks now too

whats a ' disadvantage school ' :S I thought they said all scaling remains the same ?

we will be ranked based on our cohort?
how is this different from any other year?

I think that the ATAR thing is an EXCELLENT idea personally. But what about non-school leavers like me who stuffed up and got into a course that they dont like and have a UAI and are re-applying through UAC- then what happens?

They convert your UAI to an ATAR

Excellent but then how does the bonus points and access scheme still apply??

They apply in exactly the same way that they would have applied to UAIs.

Do I get a new notice from UAC saying my ATAR??

I think it's rubbish and a waste of notification letters, but that's probably just because I don't really get it, either.

I went to a selective school until the end of Prelim, did one year of Pathways HSC via Distance Education (poorly), and am finishing my HSC at TAFE (barely). If they're comparing me with obsessive 99.5-ers, I'm doomed.

You wanna get something out of this, Buffy? You'll do the same. You put the work in, and ten years from now, you'll be where I am.
I promise you.
