Overall tho theres like a 90% chance u won’t make it this year so don’t feel discouraged cause at least u know what the exams feel like so then u can bounce back next yr

yea I know. Honestly just giving it a chance

well penrith had a lot of competition. Thank you for your answer. Well Normanhurst is a bit far, but I think I can manage it. Will definitely look into it. Thank you!!

Depends on where u live for the most part but some kids would travel 2hrs to go to a better school (im looking at you @clockiework)

Also depends on what subject u wanna pick for hsc for example science, go to girra. Math, go to normanhurst, jr. English, go to baulko

(I don’t actually know if normo and jr are strong at math but it’s js an example)

 

[Smartboiiii]

Cause personally even tho I can make it (yes I CAN) make it into schools like Sydney boys, I would rather go to girra over Sydney boys solely cuz girra is strong in science and I wanna pick physics chem and bio, which lead me into med which is what girra is strong at. also cuz Sydney boys is full of sussy boys buts that’s beside the point, the point is not everything is abt the school’s ranking

Yeah last year I did edutest AND hast, failed both miserably (well not that bad honestly) but I got a taste of their entrance test so this year im sure to make it into some school (looking at u girra)

 

[xyyvii]

its not that close to the hast q style its a bit more subtle rather than straight forward like edutest

I can attest to this since the English was EXTREMELY straightforward and did not prepare me at all for the actual thing

trust you will make it in. I probably won't. I don't know what cursed spirit takes over, but i do marvelous in trial tests. And in the actual test my mind blanks

How gross we speaking

 

[DarkKnight45]

How gross we speaking

well lets just say uh i hear weird stuff, I got robbed my lunch away around 4 times now, pushing regularly and yeah

 

[DarkKnight45]

well lets just say uh i hear about sucking dicks in the toilets, I got robbed my lunch away around 4 times now, pushing regularly and yeah

and I dont wanna be mean but theres a teacher thats well mentally ill and all he does is be on his phone all lesson

 

[Smartboiiii]

Okay so maths is more theory based than actual math (eg like I got a 6 sided die what’s highest possible of amount of __)
And abstract is EASY. It’s almost a 1 to 1 replica of ucat abstract reasoning but much easier, ar takes like a week max to fully understand and get every question right so those are the easiest marks

[DarkKnight45]

[DarkKnight45]

and when u say easy do u mean really easy

 

[Smartboiiii]

and when u say easy do u mean really easy

I mean like so easy I got bored midway through the test, I got one (or two) question wrong and that put me in the top 15% instead of 1% (im still salty)

 

[DarkKnight45]

also is it worth applying to fort street since they just look at your portfolio from 8-10

1 or 2 puts you in top 15. Thats hilarious.
