No, not with Macquarie Entry. ATAR is just one of the factors we use to determine your suitability for study. It’s true that your ATAR rank can be a useful factor of your chances for success in a specific course. But it’s equally true that there are other factors we can use to assess your suitability. That’s why we have 11 different admission pathways to Macquarie; ten of these assess your suitability on more than a selection ranking based on your raw ATAR or on your ATAR plus adjustment factors providing additional points. https://www.mq.edu.au/study/macquarie-entry-navigator

The 2021 Early Offer program opens on Friday 3 April. We encourage you to submit your application as soon as possible after that. Our Admissions team will notify you that we have received your application and begin their assessment.

If you arrive more than 15 minutes after your appointment time you will not be allowed to take the test and will have to book and pay for a new test appointment on another day, (subject to availability of test appointments). This applies in cases of family emergency, accident, transport problems and security alert as well as forgetfulness and lateness. https://www.ucat.edu.au/ucat-anz/test-day/ UCAT Test Format The UCAT is a two-hour computer-based test which assesses a range of abilities identified by universities as important to practicing in the fields of medicine / dentistry / clinical sciences. The test consists of five separately timed subtests which each contain a number of questions in a multiple-choice format. Once started the test cannot be paused for a break but before each subtest there is a timed instruction section. Candidates either sit the standard test or apply for an extended version of the test if they are entitled to extra time due to a documented medical condition or disability. https://www.ucat.edu.au/ucat-anz/test-format/
