Lots of schools offer quite a few spots this year (but tbh its usually less than they say). Its best to consider what you are looking for from the school. Honestly you should go for top 3 if ur confident in your academic ability. Edutest is really easy to prepare for. Hast is alright...

Hello, I am currently doing some content from the year 11 chem and phys syllabus and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for workbooks that were useful for them. It doesn't have to be limited to chemistry and physics, just something that would help me get a good conceptual and...

Title. I made both schools but I don't know which one I should go to since I'm not really inclined towards one of them.

being socially acclimated is something that you have to really consider though. You have to make sure you find a good friend group that will encourage you and push you to try harder (sounds cringe but its true) within a short period of time. It makes you consider whether it is worth transferring.

How was your cocurricular? I mean with an excellent cocurricular you could make up for a slightly undermining mark, however in all honestly I believe it'll take a lot more than that for the schools you chose. It's best not to get your hopes up as a lot of schools don't offer many spots for year...

Nah but in reality I probably rank higher in my cohort. It's just that most of the recent assignments for my humanities subjects have been creative tasks (presentations, posters, etc.) so I find it harder to achieve higher, ultimately bringing down my rank. However, in the subjects that I seek...

Nah, our school is only ranked low due to the large disparity in the academic ability of students. The performance of the top students in the grade is comparable to those from top 10 schools (as seen by their results). Anyways, to give hard proof for what I said, there were 180 students in year...

(If you meant it towards me) Honestly, I thought about doing it for a while, but after understanding a bit more about the process, it kind of threw me off. Plus, I don't have any passion for learning a language either.

page 1 and 2 respectively if you cant find it

The top 10% would approximately be above 99 while the top 10 would usually be above 99.5

Definitions of words you wouldn’t see at school, Logical stuff like (earth is to sun, moon is to ___), Reading comprehension, Mathematics (just basic stuff like algebra and fundamentals), creative writing (looking at image and word prompt). Idk someone add on if i missed smth. Overall, it was...

Thank you! Is there anything specific that I should focus on for the questions in general? For example, linking back to the school values.

I made the interview for Sydney Grammar recently and I wasn't sure how to approach the interview. I was wondering if I could get some tips to prepare for it. 😅

Yeah I agree with that. But I assume they would choose someone who can bring name to the school in other manners because there are already so many people who are academically proficient at the school.

haha yeah I think I’ll just listen to how I feel. My bad for bolding the words 😅 I thought it would make it easier to read if i just highlighted the main words.
