What I've only just noticed now is that Qualifax say that TCD don't accept a combo of Ag Science and Biology, but the above document most definitely leads us to believe otherwise. Is there any chance that qualifax is out of date??:(

The LC points (capped at 560) and HPAT points (theoretically to a max. of 300, but I haven't heard of anyone coming even close to that) are added to give a joint score which the CAO then uses to rank applicants, in much the same way as they would normally use the LC points alone.

Do you get the 10 practise booklets in the post, or do you do them online? I'd really appreciate it if somebody could tell me what this package is like! Thank you!:)

Interestinggg :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

clartharlear wrote: » Last year, a lot of people had the mistaken assumption that points for medicine would come significantly down, whereas I have the impression that only very few got in with under 550 points. If people realise that it's still just as hard (harder?) to get in, will fewer people bother with the HPAT?
