Year 8-11 Selective Result Discussion (8 Viewers)

lol my mark is kind of the opposite but not really at the same time, i got top 10 in writing, top 15 in math (same as u), top 10 in reading, but like on the bottom end of middle 50 in abstract, i dont think ur marks are bad at all, maybe just fierce competition, maybe just try to imporve in writing, since i dont think many kids manage to get high in that, and also practice comprehension also what school did u apply for 1st choice??

Well the way I did my forms was pretty dumb cause I put ruse first, Girraween second and tech third. When my parents called to school to ask when I’d receive my outcome, the school mentioned the fact I 3rd preferenced them as if it was a bad thing. Now that I know they actually care imma think of a strategic approach next year.

My comprehension is HORRIBLE because I’ve never read a book in my life but my essay writing is so peak (I’m ranked like top 5 in my class for English).. I genuinely don’t know what went wrong but I guess I don’t know much vocabulary sooooooo

i didnt know he would yell it out (but its kinda stupid of me to trust anyone at my school), also this kid also did the hast, but for mac fields only, he didnt get in though

I think bro was jealous

Btw random side note but what electives did you pick (I got food tech, pass and commerce )

for my current school, earlier this yr i picked iSTEM, visual design (its different from art), and computing tech (even tho i hate coding), as for tech, it hasnt come out yet, the enrolment package is still being posted via auspost, but i imagine subject selection stuff will be in there, but ive already looked at subjects tech has, and im gonna choose design and tech, engineering, and graphics, also maths accelerated since im exceptional at maths, but u need a straight As in yr 7/8 maths at tech AND teacher recommendation to do that so..

yeah apparently students cover yr 9 AND 10 maths all in yr 9, and start maths advanced in yr 10!

Whaaaaaat..
I saw a lot of Sydney tech year 9 papers and apart from trig I actually found them pretty easy.. does everyone study 5.3 math in stage 6?

wait which website did u use to get them?? also trig is pretty ez, i learnt it months ago at tuition, but did the papers say accelerated or just normal maths classes? btw i found a few papers from like 2013, and id say theyre reasonable, not too hard but def requires some thinking

dang ur lucky u go to ruse, im sure ruse has accelerated subjects or even harder

Thsc online and studocu.. just search Sydney tech year 9 papers or something like that and websites come up.

It’s basically online by kids from Sydney tech who choose to upload it to help other kids

The accel subjects for ruse are music, agriculture, jap continuers, hms and software, ig i wouldnt mind doing accel music in year 10. I would've done an accel core subject(think eng, science, maths) if i had decided to stay in my current school tho 🫠

honestly it depends but on average I’d assume so some schools do it in a random ahh order so some do it in year 9

teacher recommendation is pushing it bruh I ain’t getting no teachers recommendation if I was there. Plus on a side note I remember utterly despising computing technology, python and Java are despicable, the only good thing is when you look at your half successful project I failed every test except the stupid theory test

Ah so basically year 9 and 10 is supposed to cover everything in the 5.3 syllabus so schools get to choose when they learn what in the curriculum in the order they choose
