I had to guess like 5-10
I am NOT making it through man
I was caught off guard when I saw that the questions were linked

I just did edutest yesterday for James Ruse Agricultural High School. I would like to ask people about their experiences.

Did anyone do year 8 Edutest this saturday (for entry into year 9)?

I was only halfway through the hast writing when time ran out

Based off my experience, the tests weren’t extremely hard. They were pretty easy. The hardest were probably just numerical reasoning and verbal reasoning. Math and Reading Comprehension were really self-explanatory and straight-forward.

I know there is not enough timeeee

I did really well, especially in math. I think I'm going to get full marks. English was also easy, and so was verbal reasoning. I finished it in 3 minutes. Writing was plenty of time and I think I idd good. Verbal reasoning was the hardest I educated guessed 12 questions rest I did

I also did the ruse test for entry into year 9. Reading and writing were my best, verbal was alright and i messed up numerical. There were so many people there especially baulko kids, im not confident that i'll get in

Same i think im going to get full marks in math. Reading comprehension was not too hard. In numerical reasoning I had to guess a few questions. Writing wasn't too bad. And for me verbal reasoning was the hardest I had to guess more questions than in numerical reasoning.

I felt pretty similar. I’m confident that I got full marks for reading comprehension and mathematics, I believe I did alright for verbal reasoning as my vocabulary ain’t the best but it was adequate, maybe screwed up writing (really depends if the marker likes my plot) and messed up numerical reasoning. I think the thing about numerical reasoning was that there were too many time-consuming questions. There were also so many people from other selective schools, for instance, NSBHS, NBHS, SBHS, NSGHS, FSHS and etc, which makes me hesitant that I will make it. Based on my personal reflection, I believe I did strong in edutest and it was really hard to believe that some NSG girl sitting next to me (disclaimer: I did not cheat. I have morals, I know the consequences. I am able to utilise my own academic abilities). I don’t want to be rude to her but she struggled to finish like every single test. I was able to finish the majority of the tests in time, but I only struggled with numerical reasoning. There was no need to copy as I finished everything and everything wasn’t that hard. the questions were all pretty straightforward and simple. They weren’t really sophisticated. It was just all time management. However, overall, I don’t believe I will make it into James Ruse AHS as there are probably people who done way better than me. In addition, I don’t think my application was good enough to guarantee an INTERVIEW for the school.

About verbal reasoning, I don’t believe it was really hard. My vocabulary isn’t the best, so I kinda struggled with those, but everything else was essentially GA based. It wasn’t extremely hard as somehow some words and questions were the same as my practice tests. Pure coincidence. If you don’t make it in, I recommend using notesedu. I know I didn’t get in YET and I doubt I will get in, but I believe notesedu provided an accurate imitation of what the real test was like.

Just saying does anyone know when the results are being released? Any info?
