Year 12 Students - Why have a revision program?

Revising can be a little daunting, but keeping a revision program will help you keep track of what you need to do so you don't waste time going over some topics too often at the expense of others. Melbourne Uni have put together the following suggestions:

How to Respond to an your QTAC offer

Visit the QTAC Offers webpage for specific information about responding to your offer. It is essential that you respond by the due date (within four (4) days of receiving your offer). If you don’t, your offer will lapse and you will not be considered for any other offer rounds. When you receive an offer you have four response options to choose from (find them using the link earlier in the article). If you choose 'Reject offer'  - this option will see your QTAC application no longer active.

 

For the first three response options above, you can accept, reject or defer your offer. If you do miss a due date, contact QTAC ASAP. Also, it may not be wise to reject an offer. If you are considering doing this, first contact QTAC on 1300 467 822 to discuss this move. For more information about responding to offers visit the QTAC website.
