Today I chatted with Michael who has been working at the Victorian Tertiary Admissions Centre (VTAC) for over 7 years. He answers all the frequently asked questions you're wondering about ATARs, Scaling, Preferences, Results and Special Consideration. 

This episode covers:

✅ overview of ATARs and how they are calculated

✅ why subjects scale up or down and why scaling is necessary 

✅ how do university preferences work and what order should you put your courses in

✅ how to change your preferences and what date can we change them until 

✅ when ATARs are being released and how students can access their results 

✅ receiving an offer or what happens if you don't get your first preference

✅ what is Special Entry Access Scheme (SEAS) and what to include in your application 

✅ how lockdown and COVID19 has impacted VCE students and whether there should be any amendments 

+ lots more
