wdym discipline issues?
nothing bad, but just stuff you don’t get at more competitive selective schools (vaping and light drugs) and a little more party culture. a lot less asians proportionally might be the reason for that tho.

Yes, study a lot, you will definitely need it. Do a lot of past papers, hast is a test, but Penrith might include an interview - Not all schools do.

The Year 8-11 Selective Entry Season is approaching fast, I know applicants will be faced with stress and anxiety but let me tell you, that will all come to pass, I will share my own story of transferring between schools in years 8-11.

I was a student at Sydney Boys High School, a so called selective high school that was supposed to cater for scholar-sportsmen. At SBHS, I was poorly taught and received the lowest of marks. I was constantly bullied by my peers and was forced to attend SATURDAY SCHOOL for the sake of SPORT. Overall, I must say all SBHS has shown to me that it's pupils are inherently toxic and there is a very potent bullying culture in the school. All this pressure had left me no choice but to try out for the by far better and evermore prestigious Sydney Technical High School, a prestigious selective high school for academically gifted and talented boys.

The journey to get to Sydney Tech was hard, having being applying from the rubbish SBHS, I had no support whatsoever from my peers or the school SBHS either, I felt like GIVING UP. Yet, I stayed up all night studying and grinding upon how I can GET INTO STHS, I believed that Sydney Boys cannot put me down, my eyes started to go RED but I DID NOT GIVE UP. One day the exam day came, I did the HAST and aced it with full marks and got into the great Sydney Technical High School, a school for academically gifted boys.

Attending Sydney Tech was great and was so much better better than attending Sydney Boys, I used to ace every test and eventually I had become the dux of the school when I graduated, I went on to own 50 LAMBORGHINIS, 60 FERRARIS, 70 ROLLS ROYCES, AND 100 BUGATTIS, Plus 80 mansions. This is what you can achieve by going to Sydney Tech instead of Sydney Boys. #reject sb. I highly recommend to all yr 7-10 techies to not apply for Sydney Boys and for all parents of primary school boys to make their sons apply for Sydney Tech instead of Sydney Boys.

Questions regarding selective entry after year 7
Yea um. I did the exam and made 2 out of the three choices. But my parents are making me attend private highschool. So I kinda want to do it again, in hopes of getting into one one of the schools with 200 as their minimum entry score. How do you all suggest I prepare?

So you went down or up from SBHS to STHS? With your intellect, should you have considered Bensley?

Does anyone have access to any of the past year 8 selective papers? Or any links?

I went UP to STHS
I see. A lot of my classmates supposedly got in to STHS in year 6 through dynamic marks and dynamic choices. It is a coincidence that all of them couldn't have went to the prestigious institution due to distance, and instead chose a significantly worse partially selective. Strange right?
