On hsc ninja it looks like they have quite a few band 6s tho
Yeah they do but it's because every person in those top selective schools goes to tutor. We don't actually know the correlation between a good school vs a carrying tutor or maybe both who knows?

idk why i applied to fort my school is top 100 already

is 'my science department has fucked up every test it has administered since year 7 which had a noticeable impact on marks and im doing 2 sciences' a valid reason to move schools

Im I don’t have a big chance of making it since I only have one extra curricular and I have like no awards at all, my school doesnt do any comps, I wish they did ICAS ones
u can sweat the essay

Damn good reputation? What do u get when u finish the test?
by good reputation i mean theyre not some rando competition nobody cares about

i think u get a certificate with achievement level (credit/distinction/high distinction?)

Not racist(I don’t have anything against people of white ethnicity) but when I saw like the fort street videos on YouTube I was actually surprised by how many people of non-asian ethnicity actually attended fort street. Probably coz most selective schools are swarmed by asian kids.
My school and FSHS share the same train station and yeah they're a lot more diverse than other top selective schools.

My school is very white (not racist) and partially selective, a lot of them have siblings going to fort street.
