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

[jkdsghaweofhb]

Hi there,
I am a student that currently in Year 9 and trying out for James Ruse for Year 10. Firstly, does Ruse offer any sports for new Year 10 students? Does anyone know anyone that has done the Ruse Year 9 test for Yr 10? If so, could they please advise me on how to study for it and how to do well in it? Also, I do a few Extracurriculars and sports etc.. and I currently go to a Top 20 selective school? Is there any chance of me getting in? Do they only pick students from Top 10 schools?
Thanks in advance

as long as there's some sort of test, your school shouldn't matter that much. not sure about spots. there's a large intake for y11.

So its as long as you do well in the test, and you have Ecs etc, you have a good chance of making it? Also, do you know anyone that has made it in year 10?

How To Transfer To James Ruse In Years 8 -11 | Schools Guide

Thinking of switching schools? In this article, we discuss the process for how to transfer to James Ruse in Years 8 - 11.

www.matrix.edu.au

typo, probs means up to 5 for y10

spots would probably also depend on how many people leave the school. if someone leaves, an extra potential spot.

uh if you dont mind me asking, why would you wanna transfer to another school? Your already in a top 20 selective school, so I dont think it would be worth it

 

[jkdsghaweofhb]

Oh, it's fine. I believe that a holistic approach to my education is beneficial, as it allows me to grow in all ways, not just academically, to become a well-rounded individual. I feel that James Ruse will help me become a more well-rounded person, because of their academically high-achieving students, which will help me extend myself to the best that I can be. Hence, I think that James Ruse is the best school for me. If you don't mind, do you know anyone that's done the Year 10 Ruse exam and managed to get into Ruse? If so, could you ask them for tips? Thanks

some ppl like to strive high and i believe there’s nothing wrong with it

yeah but there are other issues that come with it, such as even more pressure, making new friends, and adapting to the school. Like ruse is the best of the best, some ppl might not be able to cope with it is all im saying. If you already go to a top 20 school, u are competing against pretty good ppl so idk its their choice ig.

reasonable enough. but i’m sure if he’s already in a top 20 school then he’ll be able to deal with the competitiveness as i’m sure he’s a fairly competent person if he’s applying for ruse. but yes i agree that the factors above is definitely something he should consider.

@Bored of Studies I know that in this group there are few boys/ girls who were successful in transferring either Baulkham Hill or James Ruse this year and they are in Year 8 this year. It means they did the impossible to possible. Only 2 kids were offered a seat at JR and BH this year. One person I know transferred from Girraween but I definitely need help for my child how to prepare for the Edutest and what else can be done to maximise the application and achieving a great scope in EDU Test. As you all understand good kids here, after massive study for Selective, all kids took a break. And high School has its own pressure including few tutorings, so TBH there is no much extra time to dedicate for EDU Test preparation so your tips/ guidance will help my child enormously. Thanks heaps.

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 Sethio and blueberry, and they are quite alpha, so I think you have most of the information already, yet same questions... so it would be helpful to list out current stats of the student/your child, strengths and weakness if you are seeking further tips

Looks like you know about the process, can you share your edutest result and if you were transferring from private or comprehensive school or selective schools. Was the interview difficult.

Is it necessary to share ICAS report, my school did not do ICAS. My naplan is not all triangles, does it matter. How was your naplan report?

Wow, you mean your year 8 NAPLAN report had all triangles? That is awesome, very hard to get all triangles. Can you share how you prepared for EDUtest.

Hey, I got Distinction in both English and Math in ICAS Year 7. It it bad, as I did not get High Distinction. I am targeting James Ruse where High Distinction is average as per their website. Any thoughts on it? I am considering not sitting ICAS next year. My school does not organise ICAS.
