You're looking for around 600 in vr irrc for wsu- ie if you get less than 600, you're not going to get interviews

Charles sturt is relatively low but the definite scores haven't been identified.

Newcastle is way higher in prerequisites, but again hasn't fully been revealed.

Note that even if you get 100% in other sections e.g: Abstract reasoning or score in the 99th %tile, wsu will only care about your vr results predominantly.

WSU had 400 candidates at interview - interviews were before HSC so were purely based on UCAT scores. Given that roughly 14000 people sit UCAT ANZ, with 1 percentile being 140 people, for a wsu interview I think u need 97%+ on the UCAT. (Slightly lower if you're from GWS).

nah they just weigh it more

they dont only care abt vr but it makes up like 55-60% of their formula iirc

I think for Newcastle and CSU 90%+ is required minimum. I had a mate who got 87th percentile and didn't get an interview offer to either.

isn't it? I remember watching a video about their requirements, and they stated that vr needs to be 600 and above and that they had students who have recieve 99%tiles which weren't able to get in as they fked the vr

UNSW i think is like 90-95%+ cos they have ATAR as well

Are ya'll being serious? What location? I know people in Orange who have recieved 87 Atars and were able to get in (assuming that their ucats didn't got that well either)

so considering vr is 44 questions - how many of the 44 would you need to get right to get 600? and how about for 700? thanks

A total scale score is generated by summing the individual scale scores of Verbal Reasoning, Decision Making, Quantitative Reasoning and Abstract Reasoning. Given this, you may need like approx 23-24 (just found this threshold online so don't quote me on this)

Is your friend trying postgraduate through diff pathway or smn? Just curious bc If I fail UCAT I'll have a better idea on what i gotta do to work around it.

really? only 24? that seems a bit low. from what ik average score in vr is about 45% so id imagine itd be something closer to 30-35. idk though im just guessing and im also outstandingly mentally ill and touch starved

600 isn't impossible, just that not everyone is good at english tho

yh but they dont only care abt vr wsu just weighs it more than the other components

its quite likely if a candidate gets 99% they'll get above 600 in vr so no stress
