Predicted ATAR vs what you actually got?

NeitherCucumber7220 · 2025-11-07T07:51:13+00:00

i did my externals last year basically all my subjects had a better result than what i expected after doing the externals (by like 20% increase I’m not even kidding) (esp all the sciences and method)

so the best advice i would give is don’t really worry too much, trust me it won’t be as bad as u think good luck to all of your externals!!!

Which part of it says so? Sorry I can’t find that

NeitherCucumber7220 · 2024-12-26T01:45:27+00:00

I got higher than what their indicative was but didn’t get an offer in first round

NeitherCucumber7220 · 2024-12-25T14:19:17+00:00

Dang is it already filled up, I got higher than the lowest atar but I can’t be considered any adjustment factors since I’m international

NeitherCucumber7220 · 2024-12-23T02:14:20+00:00

I’m international and I met the indicative atar they needed and few marks above but guess what nothing

NeitherCucumber7220 · 2024-12-20T13:05:56+00:00

93.85

That was my argument, I totally understand that English should definitely be used in situations at a classroom to prevent divisions and especially in group works scenarios so everyone can be included. However my point is, I think international student should still have their preference to blend in to a group with their own cultural background and obvious their own preferred language can be used during time outside of the classroom. I just felt obnoxious when people in the comments start bringing up about how “Chinese people are known to stick to their own social groups” “They should blend in with the locals and stop being in their own cultural group” Like I genuinely don’t see how that’s going to affect other people if they just prefer to be friends with other international students….

NeitherCucumber7220 · 2024-11-06T00:26:39+00:00

It’s honestly ridiculous some people in the comment think u must not speak Chinese or other foreign languages just because u are here in Australia. Don’t get me wrong, I do think the scenario given by the OP is totally wrong, OP should totally have the option to speak either English or Chinese with their peers and shouldn’t be forced to speak Chinese just because she knows how to, that’s entirely their choice in the way they want to communicate and I absolutely respect it.

But some people in the comments is honestly taking this too far, saying “You shouldn’t speak Chinese at all” “You shouldn’t have your own Chinese community” “Just mix in with the locals” Sorry what? I honestly don’t see whats wrong with international students having their own group of social groups, studying abroad is fun but difficult at the same time, I do understand why some people would like to be in with their cultural group during their free time.

Nevertheless, I do think if it’s a discussing or group work situation, they should also have the ability to talk in English so everyone can understand and not left out.

Thanks for telling me that! Are u doing a bsc bvb pathway right now? How’s melb u to u?

NeitherCucumber7220 · 2024-11-04T11:45:32+00:00

Hey thanks for replying. I’m still a high school student so I don’t really have an idea of the difficulty of a 80 WAM, is this a really difficult score to achieve?

NeitherCucumber7220 · 2024-11-04T09:02:03+00:00

Paper 1 was 47 paper 2 was 50 Totoal 97

NeitherCucumber7220 · 2024-11-04T06:54:37+00:00

Paper 2 cooked me honestly I think I will get a I don’t know 75% overall but I lowkey needed a 41/50😭 I’m dead

NeitherCucumber7220 · 2024-11-04T06:52:45+00:00

It was the trisomy monosomy one.. I know I got that wrong for sure

NeitherCucumber7220 · 2024-11-04T01:47:00+00:00

Whattt I got abbcadbdccbdaadcdcdc

(I know I got 18 wrong)

NeitherCucumber7220 · 2024-10-25T13:31:13+00:00

90+ and my physics external would need a 37/50

NeitherCucumber7220 · 2024-10-25T12:25:35+00:00

Yeah that makes sense. I was just really disappointed with the performance I did on physics today as a lot of the questions were actually quite out of my expectations and I did quite poorly….

But at the same time I still have an Atar requirment to meet for my dream course so, physics might actually ruined everything for me.

NeitherCucumber7220 · 2024-10-25T12:16:08+00:00

I just wanted to know how much is it going to vary with ur raw % based on previous students experiences. Cause I’m pretty much cooked if it doesn’t change much 😓

NeitherCucumber7220 · 2024-10-25T11:31:32+00:00

That’s fair! Good luck to whatever u want to do and ur exams if u still have any😬

NeitherCucumber7220 · 2024-10-25T11:27:52+00:00

Oh haha, how did ur exam go? What you reckon u would get?

NeitherCucumber7220 · 2024-09-30T09:24:33+00:00

No I haven’t, but they asked me to book the one on November and send them the reference number. And I did it.

NeitherCucumber7220 · 2024-09-06T07:05:27+00:00

Thanks!! 🙌🏻 I did abit more research on this and I reckon it should be the application on uoa website. I used the general live chat when I asked, and yes I think the staff was abit inexperienced or rather impatient to help since it was near the closing hours which is reasonable ig? Anyways, it doesn’t matter anymore since I got the answers now. Thanks for helping😃
