yeah lmao i mean year 8 entry is slim cause no one really enters that fast, but year 11 idk why its there, its too far in the school years to be there, and usually its mediocre people who get in, so theres not really any point of having year 11 transfers, but it is what it is :((
It’s for people like me who somehow didn’t score a single superior for year 9 entry 🙃

What schools u gonna apply for yr 10 entry?? i think u should prolly do sydney tech again, i just got in, and with ur current study, i think you'll make it in as long as u keep working hard, but then again theres a small degree of luck, so its not purely meritocratic 🙃

Well just for some context I scored roughly top 30% in the hast and my predicted year 8 sem 2 reports and 7A and 1B (B in pdh). year 8 sem 1 reports had 4a and 4b with Bs in math, geography, technology, and pdh.

I really wanna get into sydney tech too ngl since I hear they have amazing faculties but do you reckon that’s good enough of an application cause I lowkey dunno 😭 (also I might have to 3rd pref it so I can do Girraween and Penrith unless u think I shouldn’t )

didnt soemone get into ruse this year with only 2 superiors? yeah the standards have lowered id say from like the past ten years, its really how you compose your portfolio and test performance and obviously the comp. in year 8-9 for ruse, you have to perform well academically, in year 11 entry for ruse - academics are quite low in standards, and extra curricular is high, but it all depends on the competition youll face
mb guys 😓😓😓😜

I mean yeah you should go for those schools but if there are other higher schools you wanna try for like ruse and Baulkho and they are closer to you you should give it a shot, I mean recently it doesn’t really matter what school you come from yk

You got a point lol but one of my friends told me I can apply for 9 schools total with 3 different forms, one for hast, one for edutest and then the other for schools like Sydney boys or normanhurst with their own application. Dont know if that’s true but if it is I will apply for a ton of schools 😼

Yeah but you have to pay money to sit the test per school iirc, that's gonna be hella expensive

Ooh in That case that’s a good idea but don’t stress yourself too much in the process

😭💔 lmao but I don’t think preference heavily matters though people got into top schools with preference selection
True, but clockiework said schools like Sydney tech actually care so maybe that’s the case with Penrith and Girraween 😟
I lwk might first preference Penrith over Girraween so Penrith thinks I’d rather be there and accept me 😼
