every year the ATAR cut off will probably change by +/- 1 ATAR point

its generally between 99.55-99.7, it is traditionally a highly sought after degree, hence atar will stay just as high

depends on demand. I think it will rise though because more and more people are wanting to study law
and not only that - many students are starting to apply for EAS - like even students receiving youth allowance are applying for EAS! so yeh, it will continue to rise

to be honest, you'll find that the majority of students in law do not get above 99.65. most got in via bonus points

there's more to cut offs than meets the eye

for instance, some people with 99.30 got into UNSW law 2nd round (cut off supposingly 99.65 and there's no bonus points) and others with 99.55 got into USYD law (99.70?)

and there are others who've gotten into courses with ATARs 5 below the cut off even with bonus points

If you dont get in straight from HS, you can always transfer and from what I have heard, transfering is supposed to be easier

In my opinion, eventually, they'll introduce an aptitude test like UMAT for Law. That'll eventually be the only way to distinguish kids.

ZOMG the cut-off is increasing!

If you get 99.75 that should be safe imo

If this was the case, I believe the question type asked should be evidence-based and maybe logical deduction.

That's essentially what Section 1 of UMAT is, isn't it?
