01
Use official admissions sources
For final decisions, check the relevant admissions body and university pages, such as UAC, VTAC, QTAC, SATAC, TISC, or the university's own international admissions guidance.
Coach note
Do not rely on old screenshots or informal conversion tables when planning subject strategy.
02
Plan from target courses backward
Start with the likely course requirements, then estimate the IB result needed with a margin of safety. Competitive courses may have prerequisites, selection ranks, interviews, portfolios, or subject requirements beyond the headline ATAR.
03
Use tutoring to reduce uncertainty
A better score plan does not chase every mark equally. It identifies which subjects and assessments can realistically move the total IB score the fastest.
