Oh alright I thought for entry into yr11 u had to do the test lol

covid

On hsc ninja it looks like they have quite a few band 6s tho

Yeah they do but it's because every person in those top selective schools goes to tutor. We don't actually know the correlation between a good school vs a carrying tutor or maybe both who knows?

idk why i applied to fort my school is top 100 already

is 'my science department has fucked up every test it has administered since year 7 which had a noticeable impact on marks and im doing 2 sciences' a valid reason to move schools

 

[saltshaker]

Im I don’t have a big chance of making it since I only have one extra curricular and I have like no awards at all, my school doesnt do any comps, I wish they did ICAS ones

u can sweat the essay

i have a bludge but good reputation competition: big science competition

Australia Science Innovations » Cost and how to get involved

www.asi.edu.au

it is ridiculously easy compared to ICAS and free

 

[saltshaker]

Is it like a test?

yee all multiple choice or cloze passage

 

[saltshaker]

Damn good reputation? What do u get when u finish the test?

by good reputation i mean theyre not some rando competition nobody cares about

i think u get a certificate with achievement level (credit/distinction/high distinction?)

 

[saltshaker]

Do u have any other good competitions? I’m tryna gather as much as I can coz at the moment I have 0 awards 🥲

i got hardcarried by my school so thats all i got for now
i think u can also put volunteering on it and also duke of ed if ur school does it

also i only did it this year so i havent got a result

Not racist(I don’t have anything against people of white ethnicity) but when I saw like the fort street videos on YouTube I was actually surprised by how many people of non-asian ethnicity actually attended fort street. Probably coz most selective schools are swarmed by asian kids.

My school and FSHS share the same train station and yeah they're a lot more diverse than other top selective schools.

My school is very white (not racist) and partially selective, a lot of them have siblings going to fort street.
