How much time is there after the result?

Often only a few weeks, and the application deadlines come sooner than that. The work starts on result day itself.

Should I apply everywhere?

Applying wherever you are eligible is sensible. The cost of an application is trivial beside losing an option.

What should I study in these weeks?

Nothing new. Past papers, your own notebook of formulas and definitions, and one timed model test a day.

The weeks after an HSC result are probably the densest a student will live through — many applications at once, many tests, each with its own question style, and very little time to prepare.

The kinds of admission test

Kind	Character
Cluster admission tests	One test covering several universities
Individual tests	Their own question style and eligibility
Engineering and medical	Demanding depth in specific subjects
Private universities	Separate schedules and procedures

How to set priorities

Make a list of everywhere you are eligible.
Put every deadline and test date on one calendar.
Check for clashes and decide in advance where there are any.
Prepare together for tests whose question styles are close.
Give the most time to what you want most, not to everything.

Preparing in a short window

There is no time to learn anything new at this stage — the task is getting what you already have out fast and accurately. So work past papers rather than reading books through, revisit your condensed notebook of formulas and definitions, and sit at least one full timed model test a day. Put the extra attention where your HSC marks were low; the marksheet tells you where the gap is.

The costliest mistake here

The costliest mistake is staking everything on one institution and not applying elsewhere. The cost of an application is trivial beside the cost of not sitting a test, and holding one extra option means holding the freedom to choose. The second costliest is taking a few days off after result day — those few days are frequently the application window.
