I tried out for girra entry to year 10 and there were 138 kids who applied

 

[KoKoNutz]

also does girra and penrith even care about preferences when they selected the student, cuz when my brother applied, he put baulko first, girra second and penrith third. He got declined by baulko, but got accepted by girra and penrith?

I mean if they did really really good then why not

 

[KoKoNutz]

my brother was like top 30% overall, and that time there were 99 ppl who applied to girra (btw he got 6th reserve)

Oh wow, was this year 10 entry??

 

[KoKoNutz]

Oh yeah Girra sometimes does that (cannot be too hopeful if you want to try next year, it usually happens if they feel like it)

 

[KoKoNutz]

right, cuz this yr they accept a new class, if there were 138 ppl who applied for girra, and 120 for penrith, then would i need to be top 60 out of the 258?

I mean the stats would be great to see if you have a good chance but just know that not everyone tried for both Girra and Penrith like you did so there can be the possibility it needs to be higher than 60. I know it's a bit late but aiming for probably at least 40 would be good

 

[KoKoNutz]

right, so how many ppl do you think applied to girra and penrith for entry to year 10 (like first second and third preference)?

 

[hi_998]

has any bought the edutest practice test for year 11 entry? if so is it worth it? do you mind sharing it to see if I should buy more of them? thxx

hey i bought them..
they r really helpful but maths is a bit hard on it, i think it will be easier in the edutest exam

I mean really I wasn't there to do the exam at Penrith and apparently there were 100 so unless they all (Girra+Penrith) put the schools in something like
1. Penrith
2. Girra
3. ???

Then I guess yeah 138+100=238. But it's really unable to be guessed how many people did that or something else like
1. Baulko (Edutest 1)
2. Chatswood (HAST test taking 1)
3. Penrith/Girra (HAST test taking 2)

 

[KoKoNutz]

yeh true, i would say maybe tops 300 or 350?

where'd u do the exam?

 

[zenli]

yeh true, i would say maybe tops 300 or 350?

I mean both Girra and Penrith both create a new class for year 10 (let's just say 20 new people + around 3 current students who leave) so the number for Girra was 138 apparently so 23/138*100=16.666667 or top 17% (unless I did the math wrong) and Penrith is 23/100*10=23% or top 23%

 

[zenli]

where'd u do the exam?

Girra lmao and waiting for another exam soon

lowk the maths isnt good on there like trig without a calculator?

 

[KoKoNutz]

right, and if they dont care about preferences then it would be 46/238 which is 19ish percent

 

[KoKoNutz]

Girra lmao and waiting for another exam soon

you did entry to yr 10 too yeh?

 

[zenli]

you did entry to yr 10 too yeh?
