Year 8-11 Selective Result Discussion (1 Viewer)

[Sir Jigger II]

What is the main reason why a school would space interviews so far apart? I've heard kids applying for similar years having interviews spanning around 11 days. Even the argument about the increased quota of interviews - because they have to account for 4-year groups (8,9,10,11) - doesn't make sense as you would logically stagger the interviews in blocks ie (year 8 -> 22nd- 24th, year 9 -> 25th-27th etc), right? My main query about this system is that if interviews are spaced so far apart (I doubt it takes 11 days to interview a one-year group), wouldn't this delay results indefinitely? Also the issue with "comparative marking" because increased times would surely make the standardisation between year groups harder because comparing a student's holistic skills to another one 11 days apart would be quite hard, wouldn't it? In one sense it could jeopardise at least one of these student's acceptance. Personally, this hasn't happened but I'm just interested.

Why'd you mention this? Was someone saying interviews are so far apart?

Yeah, I heard that for one school the interviews are quite far apart, and it was making people stress that they were not going to be accepted. By far apart i mean 11 days which is a significant difference for people from the same years who are sitting interviews

can I ask, what did you get in each subject? im very disappointed with my maths results but everything else I did like pretty good.

 

[Bendwhat?_over]

i was trying for yr 10 so maybe thats why. I also heard that results come out in alphabetical order but obviously thats a bit weird so dont count on it

 

[Bendwhat?_over]

can I ask, what did you get in each subject? im very disappointed with my maths results but everything else I did like pretty good.

iirc (i dont have my results on me sorry)

Top of top 10% in reading
Top of 50% in math (or mid of top 20%)
Middle of top 20% for abstract reasoning
Bottom of top 20% in writing
Total was bottom of top 10%

sorry if that's confusing, I can try send a picture of it in a few days? Im not home rn. I'm also verydisappointed with my maths xDDD

I think they were probably mostly looking at writing and maths.

 

[synthesisFR]

i doubt that

stay mad jealous LLLL

tragic but I swear ssg takes like 10 students every year or something, and my friend counted like 50 or so students in our cohort and I know like 5-10girls who said they flopped the hast so idk you probably have a chance
