Year 8-11 Selective Result Discussion (12 Viewers)

[bluepanda@2502]

btw do you mind if i ask why your trying to move schools because isnt hurlstone already a pretty good school?

Hurlstone is a really good school but there are other schools that are even better and when there's a chance to get into one of those schools people just want to give it a try. I mean theres nothing wrong in just trying

Yeah your right its just that theres downslides like being away from friends at her current school and the fact that moving in year 11 is pretty late so it might be hard to adjust. I just thought that there were other motivators aside from the fact that other schools are better academically like her location to school or something if her current school is already pretty good so it might not be worth risking all that if academics was the only consideration.

Its my first time taking edu test I did HAST last year, I did preparation such as coaching and resources and I also bought practice ests from offical edu test website, and I counted approx 40 people in my cohort year 8 entry to year 9 doing Sydney Girls edu test

Thanks, you mean 40 people from your current school took the Saturday edutest for year 9 entry? Are you interested for James Ruse. I mainly want to know how many were there in James Ruse venue taking edutest on 16 August for year 9 entry 2026? Any idea?

i did the test at ruse for year 9 entry, tbh i was too nervous to think about the amount of people but there were so many they had to split us based on last name into the hall and auditorium. maybe like 50-100 people i have pretty bad memory haha
