[spiderlemonade]

I’m not really in a position to give good advice but I have a question

When is your interview cause when I had mine they said the results would come out within the first or second week so I’m kind of confused

did you get your results yet? if not ask ur parents to check their spam emails in case it ended up there
for me i got results 4 days after the interview lmao

oh i also grinded the cambridge maths year 8 textbook but thats pretty much it
and if i had to retake the test, i would also expand my vocabulary because there were quite a few vocab questions in verbal reasoning that i struggled with :[
if you feel like you do need extra tutoring ive heard that selective specialist and eduvision r good although i havent been to either myself

I go to ruse but I was there for the edutest last year because they use some ruse school students as like mark scalers, like to see the performance of the cohort for the edutest in ruse

Do you know how much the mark scalers in ruse usually get? Like all superiors or some above average? Just so I have an idea of where to aim...

um my friends and I got 4-5 superiors, but the least they’d dip down to accept is 3 superiors and the rest high averages

Do you know how many people usually sit the test at ruse for year 9 entry?

there was like 80-100 this year, we had to go to two different exam venues based on last name so i got separated from my friends

 

[woo_879]

For year 9, it’s like a lot of people maybe like 150+? Because year 9 is where they practically accept a whole class. I don’t quite remember, the amount of people trying out dwindles significantly for year 11 entry because at that point it’s so late in high school that you’d join. Also for year 9 entry there were only like 1-3 mark scalers whereas in year 11 entry there was 8-10 scalers.
