tuesday lol

damn, is it english and math section right? and how long is it?

 

[MAAB1002]

idk, I haven't received the letter yet so my dad called the school and they apparently told him that I should study, and call back if I still haven't received it yet. Kind of stressing out cuz one my friends did the exam for normanhurst and said u cant really prepare. But yeah I'm pretty sure its math and English section only

I just got offered an interview at SBHS, and it's in a few days, so what should I do to prepare for it!

As in, how is there maths exam for year 11 and what does the interviewer ask?

I appreciate any answers u can give me.

[Kurrison]

how are you planning to show your achievements, as in some extra curriculars?
as in how do i prove that i did peer support, charities, etc?

Lmao, I got whole certificates for charities, awards like medals, trophies, certificate and academic certificate like distinction or high distinction

 

[4321suomynona]

Charities give you certificates?

maybe talk with your school? I talked with my school about extra curricular so they gave me medals and awards

 

[4321suomynona]

so you just asked some teacher to give you awards? but why would they only give it to you when u ask them for it, shouldnt you get it by earning it at some point? kinda confused as to what i should ask...just tryna clear it up

 

[4321suomynona]

Btw, would have any idea of how many they interview at SBHS for year 11?

Yeah, because they keep it for students. Well I earned it but they kept it.

 

[Kurrison]

Btw, would have any idea of how many they interview at SBHS for year 11?

no idea man, maybe 20 to 30? It cant be 50 because how many interviews will they take. What I know is they only accept at least 7 to 10

 

[MAAB1002]

Any general tips for interviews? I think I speak quite well if its just like the teacher and me, but any other tips like what type of answers I should give etc

 

[Kurrison]

Anyone know how many places there are for Penrith?

according to PHS, it said only small places are become available for year 8 to 11.

 

[Kurrison]

it says there is an increase for year 11

it is depends on students are leaving or moving to top elite schools or private schools with scholarships

 

[Kurrison]
