Hi there! Chances are that if you have thought about applying for selective entry during high school you have stumbled across some of my posts. I had quite the struggle from year 7 to year 9, applying relentlessly to as many schools as I could to maximise my chances of getting into a selective...

depends on how other people sitting the hast perform (ie if everyone does super well the top 15% mark cutoff will be a higher score but if the exam is super hard then it will be lower)

hi try searching up thsc i didn't give the link to any paper in particular also i used it for edutest, kind of useless for hast

depends on what grade ur doing because ik from about term 4 year 9 b class is behind by quite a few lessons and some people i know who got demoted from a3 negotiated with the admin coz a3 was already so far ahead and they didn't see the point of retaking the lessons so don't move down it'll be...

if it’s still the same as it was during lockdown i think for promotion from online if your average is above 90 for the online quizzes they make you come in person to do a promotion test (when i did it it was a combination of 3 different in person quizzes from that term selected at random) maybe...

relax i’m obviously not neglecting my hsc all together but if there’s an opportunity to maximise my chances into getting into the course i want clearly i’m going to take it

thank you for both your helpful responses! i did see that someone a couple of years ago on here used this method for usyd med, maybe it’s worth a shot

this was mostly referring to hast from what i can remember it was more about your ability like the test i did in y7 was completely different to y8 even tho it was the same age i would say its somewhat similar to amc combined with icas science. from what i can remember there were a couple of...

for hast or for edutest? the links i provided have some examples as well as what other people on bos have posted that’s how i found most of mine personally i studied from about january-the test but that being said i did so in both year 9&10 (year 9 it was sort of pointless due to lockdown but...

yeah it was the teaching but that obvs depends on what teacher you get

all my friends who went to ace moved to cog if that helps

a2 w no lecture note that is unheard of maybe they js forgot to print them or smth then unless his class is rlly big

i think it’s coz there’s too many students (like 50ish) in a1 classes (usually idk if it’s like that for urs asw)

i was doing that combination + 3u eng imo chem was SOOOO much more enjoyable than physics chem is worth it the workload isn’t too bad just don’t cram work in small chunks throughout the term and you’ll do great plus mod 2-4 is quite easy imo mod 1 is tricky but easy once u memorise and structure...

ikr i’m really torn coz like i think ill do fine without it but i don’t want to regret not doing it either
