Actually and honestly im really anxious to find out the result and am hoping for the best.
so yeah sorry if i worded what i said before...
Well thye had most, if not all the topics in the yr10 syllabus.
But the thing was the extent and level to which these were tested were above yr10 standard.
But as i said before for those of us who have high acedemic records and a good summary fo extra-curricular activities, we should be ok...
What school is this for?
I have do do the ACER HAST, for Girraween High School as i mentioned previously.
Who else needs to do the ACER examination for their selected schools?

From what i have heard, aparently NSB designs the test to make it hard to finish, well the maths anyways.
I mean i heard of a guy who got into NSB, and he only completed 1/4 of his maths exam. Thats only 25% provided he got all the questions correct.
*Note, its only what ive heard.

Quick Question.

eg.
Yr9 -English - A
Yr10 - English - B
*or the other way around.
;)
Your reports are decent and i think you have a good chance.
You have to keep in mind that your chance of getting in is so very relative to the credentials and amount of kids applying for your selected shools.
Remember that getting into a decent slective school is always a game of chance to some...
