is it worth applying to fort since they look at your portfolio only

 

[Smartboiiii]

also is it worth applying to fort street since they just look at your portfolio from 8-10

Yes and no. Yes cause you’d definitely stand out but no cause basically no one leaves fort street and if u prefer maths over English, don’t go

I like english more and honestly it doesn't matter if someone leaves great i get an interview if not thats fine. Just for a chanceyou know.

I mean they do, but they honestly want me to get into a good school so they wont mind I asked them

 

[DarkKnight45]

but honestly I'm gonna think about it since most people don't leave fort so I probably won't do it

 

[DarkKnight45]

Imma sleep thanks for your help

I mean like so easy I got bored midway through the test, I got one (or two) question wrong and that put me in the top 15% instead of 1% (im still salty)

I can agree on this, i spent like 80% of my hast prep on abstract reasoning bc I thought it would be hard. it ended up being super easy and i got top 10% (when i did yr 7 to yr 8 entry). do a few weeks of practice for AR and focus more on the other tests.

 

[xyyvii]

what about maths and abstract were they good cuz tbh i just bought them and yeah reading was easy

I think for me, abstract reasoning helped to some extent (I ended up placing in top 15%) and maths was meh

 

[Viva_student2025]

Do you guys think ruse would have higher expectations compared to baulko? so if i dont make ruse, i might still be able to make baulko? (w like 3-4 superiors)

Yr 9 entry

well ruse opens new spots for year 9 so 3-4 sups would be good

Ye but grades matter as well cuz if u get just one B they’ll bring it up in the interview (according to spiderlemonade) and most kids that get in are already from a selective

 

[Smartboiiii]

Just apply for mid rank schools like baulko and nsg cause thise are the schools where ruse accepts the most transfers, also giving more spots for those tryna get in
