    Year 8-11 Selective Result Discussion

    i am not sure but from what i remember, once they get your edutest result, two teachers look at your reports and portfolio and grade them, then it goes to interview. good luck!

    Year 8-11 Selective Result Discussion

    always impressed at how well Sethio writes. agree that edutest practice papers are useless. total waste of time and you might get a wrong impression that it is really easy. for hast, i heard that you need to prepare for abstract reasoning.

    UCAT TUTORING

    curious, when did you start studying for ucat? i heard as early as year 8, mostly year 11, some starting at year 12 (who still managed to scored great marks but they are probably super smart anyway)

    Tips for James Ruse Application? for current Year 9 going into Year 10

    are you referring that 2 people transferred into year 8 ruse this year? if it is, that's correct info (although they didn't get to come at orientation day). 29 of us transferred into year 9 this year (~13 or 14 boys from my memory). I glanced through your previous posts and saw you spoke to both...

    hast and edutest prep

    i dont think any of them uses edutest. i thought only ruse, nsb, nsg, bualko, sb, and sg where they use edutest.

    hey, which schools are you applying to? For edutest, you can probably use my previous post, link below. As a very short summary, make sure you can read quickly and solve maths quickly. Good luck...

    How can I maximise my chances to transfer into Hornsby Girls?

    lol. is she dropping you off at school? maybe too much hassle for her to pick you and your sister up when in different school. given that applying doesn't mean that you will get in, apply to all the schools you want and then decide if you get an offer. if you are interested in Edutest info...

    How can I maximise my chances to transfer into Hornsby Girls?

    tbh I was generalising rather than being hornsby specific but if I was in your situation, I wouldn't limit myself to just hornsby. Apply for others like sydney and north sydney girls (although they use edutest) if you are keen on girls school only, so build your portfolio.

    How can I maximise my chances to transfer into Hornsby Girls?

    make sure you participate in co-curricular activities at Chatswood and build a solid portfolio with activities you enjoy in. I didn't do HAST, so can't give you advice there, but what I will say is transfer into Year 8 is harder than transferring into Year 9, purely because there are less...

    Private vs Selective

    Hey Sethio, congrats on multiple offers! enjoying the new dilemma? based on our previous chats, you sounded like you wanted to go to baulko and scholarship wasn't even a thing you mentioned of. But, because they offered to you all of sudden, you are now in this dilemma. thats all I will say...

    Baulko vs Grammar

    Congrats! Both great schools. I don't think you will regret with any of them.

    Has anyone received an acceptance notice for the edutest for Baulko or Jr?

    I did as well but Secretive fish's year would have been harder to get in as only 11 people were accepted for year 11 entry next year
