    Can someone please explain to me how this multimedia course jumped from 415 to 445 thats a massive jump for a course is it a simple demand and supply or is there more to it then that, and is it likely that it would increase or decrease next year. I'm just super curious about this.

    Nobody can predict points for courses as it depends entirely on the points the last person accepted on the course received. This year, the last person accepted got 445 points, last year they got 415 that's really all there is to it. Sometimes a course can increase or decrease the number of places which can affect points but 99% of the time it just is what it is that particular year.

    Also 30 points wouldn't really be considered aassice increase. Some courses have jumped by up to 100 points in the past! Best advice is always to just use the points as very rough indicator and to study hard and do your best in the meantime!
