Year 9 entry for baulko 2026 (1 Viewer)

[Viva_student2025]

i tried out and got into baulko y11 entry last yr (second biggest intake i think (y9 entry being the biggest intake)).

i got 4 sups, but ik someone who got in with 1 sup (in writing (which they REALLY WANT (THEY REALLY WANT KIDS WHO ARE GOOD AT CREATIVE WRITING))).

most kids got in with 3 sups, but tbh it shouldnt be too bad (last yr, out of all the edutest skls, baulko was the hardest to get in for y11 entry somehow (one of my friends got into nsb but rejected from baulko with 2 sups)).

but i think that once they organise kids from bottom to top by edutest results, they only look at supplementary information. the teacher that goes through applications is not the principal, but ur interview is with the principal, so idk how the information passes through there.

for reports, ig they expect mostly As, but if u get 1 or 2 Bs u should be fine tbh, as long as u do well on edutest.

their main differentiating factor on the edutest is the english, as baulko knows kids are alr good at math, and want to improve english by a lot to boost up rankings (im guessing rankings slipped cuz of the tail end of the grade in english).

baulko has a lot of high achievers, but the tail end is what is dragging the rankings down.

i wouldnt recommend using the edutest practice papers as they do NOT reflect the actual edutest. ts website is mega niche (bigbrain.au), but basically they got buncha edutest questions to help kids in vic get into selective skls (vic uses edutest too), so pick one of the vic selective skls (suzanne corry, macrob, nossal, melb high).

1. click "take my free diagnostic"
2. click for students
3. choose current year level
4. in the second dropdown, click selective
5. choose one of those vic skls
6. sign up or wtv

good luck!

do you hv any tips for numerical bcuz im so cooked for that

Also, will they look at your previous skl and decide whether to get you in or not if you are at the borderline of the admission. I'm currently in a local high school and I got a c for HSIE last year(which is the only c that I got) and my math and science are all As, but my English is always B.

prob, 50% of the transfers come from girra for some reason. ik some transfers came from bennies, manly, chatty, northholm grammar, cherrybrook, etc.

woah how did some1 get in with only 1 sup

maan tbh i think hes lying but baulko is in dire need of good creative writers (y11 at1 had a 10/15 avg for creative!!)

Is it okay to tell me which school were you transferred from? Is it also a selective high school?

I just did the practice test on the bigbrain.au, and I both got 86% accuracy for maths and verbal

thats good bro

 

[aaa_shinhye181]

chatty to manly (y9 to 10) then manly to baulko (y10 to 11)

wow that's actually such a long journey.

 

[aaa_shinhye181]

thats good bro

I don't rlly think so bc it's only like above average in edutest, but i need to make it above 90% accuracy so i can get superiors.

I may do chatty as my back up for this year's test, did u enter chatty in yr 7 or after year 7?

thats not true bro, on bigbrain my scores were 80 for verbal (which i got sup), 91 in numerical (which i got sup), 94 in math (which i got sup) and 91 in reading (which i got high avg (tbh the reading section last yr was SO sack))

i havent done chatty specifically, but hast is relatively easy compared to edutest (in terms of time). hardest part of hast is reading which is worse than edutest reading
