Yeah they do I think
I think some year 8’s in girra are for applications too lol from a thread I saw some time ago
I might actually but idk yet haha
lol yeah I mean I think it’s pretty fun, it’s cheaper with the promo code, cause that’s what I did a few years ago so I think it’s worth it, but yeah, if anything, you should also sign up to free competitions next year like writing competitions; and like random science competitions. Have you heard of icq? Lol it needs some preparation but its worth a lot
I think I'm gonna try and sign up for at least 5 comps until the submission date
The thing is for entry into other years than year 9 its really competitive so I needa grind lol

genuinely why is getting into selectives so different and so much more difficult compared to year 6 entry...like you just do a test then? and now they're expecting you guys to perform so academically well and pull a bunch of co-curriculars out of your butt...when I was in years 7-9 I literally did jack...do kids actually in selective schools do as much as you do now? no judgement, more awe and genuine confusion
the dedication is impressive - this really does read like American college application, haha! it'll all be worth for the dream school I'm sure

fr it is so much harder than a perfectly normal and no brainer (kinda) year 6 selective exam
Geniunely I wish I got into a top school in year 6 so I didn't have to face this trouble now haha. I guess it does prepare us for college applications

but like only college application in america (if that's your aim) 'cause in australia they just centralise it all pretty much, most you got is an interview and short application form for med
awwwwww yeah, when I was younger I didn't really understand the rush to get into selective in year 6 but seeing this I now know
everyone does. i wish i studied more.

With the amount of tutoring I received in year 5-6 (5 days at its peak), I basically wasted my mums money by not getting into a top school whereas I knew people whose parents taught them everything and got into good schools

I just wanna tell you guys that getting into selective isn't a be all end all! as someone who actively denied a selective school offer in year 6, I'm doing pretty well at this school of my choice (those who know know), and honestly performing above many selective school levels. this isn't to say that selective isn't worth it!! I hope you guys get into your dream school, selective or not - just know that you can do amazingly with or without!! don't spend all your junior years stressing

lol I won’t lie when I say that there’s a portion of dumb people in ruse who only studied for the selective test and are now relaxing and goofing around. so I guess they’re raising their standards for transfers to make up for it
