yeah maybe the other people who got in or know about it maybe be able to help, @clockiework @Smartboiiii @aaliya yeah sorry if I tagged the wrong people 💔😭
mb guys im prolly so late, but basically when i applied this yr to 1. syd tech 2. hurlstone 3. mac fields, im pretty sure for these type schools order does matter since a kid in my grade at tuition, he got into hurlstone which he ranked pref. 1 even tho he got same hast bands as me, and i got rejected from hurlstone, i made it to sydney tech, but that could be bcuz more vacancies, although come to think of it , i swear i heard everyone getting into hurlstone, like one in every 4 hast kids in my area (random statistic i made up) got into hurlstone.. and @Smartboiiii said he got rejected from syd tech cuz he ranked it 3rd, im not sure about top ranked schools (or mainly edutest schools), but i think they care a lot more about ECs too, also since none of the top ranked schools use HAST, its hard to tell, but i think for hast schools pref. might matter subtly.

Do you guys think it would be a good idea to use AMC practice tests to prepare for edutest?

Congrats for the offer to Sydney Tech! Coming from a student who attends Mac Fields, it ain't too good of a school, and the rank fluctuates massively. I also did Edutest and HAST this year, and I made it into Baulkham Hills, Girraween and I also got an offer to Syndey Grammar, however, I was on reserve for James Ruse!
so ur going to syndey gramma or JR or BBHS

what grade are u in?
I'm in year 7 right now, I'm doing edutest for year 9 entry (when I'm in year 8 next year). There's still a long time before the test, but I didn't get in this year when I did HAST so I thought I might need to prepare more.

just out of curiosity, what schools do u wanna go to and what school do u attend?
My current school is a private school, and the rankings aren't even released for some reason. I've always wanted to go to penrith high because I live really close to it, but I've also been considering girraween, baulko and james ruse

ye. i was accepted into penrith and girra in yr 6 but anyways, my friend goes there too. i also have freinds that fo baulko and jrahs and they say that there is like an immense pressure to do well. like they bully u if u dont do well
Ohh wow seems like a lot. Just curious, why'd you end up going to mac fields if you got into so many of the top ranked schools? Also have you done edutest or hast for year 9 entry as well?
