most of the transfers come from top 10 schools like nsb and nsg rather than mid tiers like girra.
so do you think nsg would have ~10 spots for yr 9 entry? lwk considering applying for nsg as a backup (bc a lot of ppl leave to go to ruse) in case i dont make ruse or baulko.

also does reading comprehension in edutest consist of long text extracts and stories, or just short paragraphs?

Yh but tbh i 100000000000% recommend actually preparing by either tutoring but if u don’t wanna do tutoring (like me), buy practice papers and keep doing them so you can actually SEE where you go wrong. I just don’t know where to buy resources tbh and how to prepare for the normanhurst exam :(

I’ll be completely honest i genuinely forgot but the main idea is like one extract or story (can’t remember maybe it’s both) and then they just ask you a few questions regarding it; again my knowledge is REALLY rusty on it but its mainly bc ive given up on edutest tbh

Ohh that's fine. I'm pretty sure selective success academy does stuff on the normanhurst exam. But if you don't want to do tutoring then I recommend using notesedu bc their resources are pretty good too.
