明白，不過我聽聞她自細成績一般，而SAT 成績也只是千七-千八分左右，所以我一直認為這學系不太難入。她本人亦諗住澳洲八大收，她會去澳洲。但最後只有一間八大以外的收她，她才揀理大。她詳細成績如何我沒有追問，因為是親戚女兒。而我自己的孩子只是小學生而己，正在取經學習中。

SAT is a test that requires a lot of preparation. Particularly the vocabulary section is very hard even for native english speakers. SAT score is only useful if the score is high. Note SAT is not compulsory when you apply to Australia uni. So if she got 1700-1800, this score is not that decent (sorry for being direct) and should actually be not submitted to the university.

Agree that the score is not that good.  That's why I thought the course is not difficult to get in.

What I meant was, both HK and Aus universities do not ask for SAT.
Her offer did not have to be based on SAT.

But no other result of public exam available for her to submit.  She did not have IB score nor DSE result.  She did submit the SAT result anyway.

Universities do not only look at public exam.
In fact, many countries do not have public exam. Even for US, SAT is not compulsory. More and more US universities no longer ask for SAT. AP exams are also not compulsory. A lot of second tier universities do not ask for additional exams. I think Canadian universities and Australian universities do not make SAT compulsory.
Most universities would ask for up to 4 years of internal grades of the students.
Even if you apply with DSE or IB or AL, overseas universities still look at your internal grades.
That was what I meant when I said different countries have different requirements.
(I think HK universities mainly look at public exams.)
So is not not that you get A (for example) with a public exam and you will get offers.
If your internal grades are poor, you will not get offers.
One more thing though.
Although SAT is definitely not compulsory, IELTS or TOEFL would be compulsory. If she never took IELTS, that might be the problem.
Some people might think: SAT is a lot harder than IELTS, SAT score should be better.
But no. Many universities do not consider SAT an adequate replacement of IELTS.
Sometimes, I hear people complain or comment on universities offer.
Most of the time, it is the applicant that have not got things right in the first place.
Anyway, not trying to challenge you. I know you probably are not aware of the full picture anyway.
I really want to get things straight so other parents will know what to do.
