Once you already have your SPM trial results or actual results, you should start your higher education research by doing Pathway Match so that you can quickly narrow down the university and course options that fit your budget. As you are going through Pathway Match, it would show you:
which courses you can study i.e. do you meet the entry requirements for e.g. Accounting, Architecture, Business, Engineering or Mass Com
which pathway you qualify for i.e. do you meet the requirements to study Degree directly or can you study a Diploma vs Foundation first
which study locations you can consider i.e. are there suitable universities located in your hometown or must you travel to other states
how much to budget for your studies i.e. the course nett fee for study options that match your profile and course/location preferences
