I've been both to Pre-Uni and James An five years ago in order to prepare for the Selective test in Year 6, and I was well-prepared but luck wasn't with me as I was sick a few days before the test, unfortunately. So whilst doing the test, I had no idea about what I was circling for the MC, and I wasnt accepted.

Anyways, I'm trying once again this year...wow, thats nice, but I'm not particularly interested in Penrith..I'm mainly aiming for Girra or Baulko, but Penrith will also do...you should still consider yourself to be lucky because your school is ranked #45 and my school in #257...its a big difference!

hmm, I'm also going to take tutoring but not private tutoring...they don't provide material to study for..I think I'll be joining a coaching academy.

I don't think Baulkham Hills does...doesn't mention it on their website..however, it would be great if they do ;)

haha thanks, but I'm sure I'll be joining either Pre-Uni or James An.

Just out of curiousity, I wonder who else is visiting the thread? Its recieved more than 200+ views! haha

Well, to confirm whether its true or not, you can always make a call to the school and clarify your questions.

haha...well, its was good talking to someone who understands how I feel because none of my friends are interested in applying for Selective. I can't wait till September to find out the outcome..I really hope I'm selected. Wishing you all the best :)

Thanks a bunch! That would be wonderful if we were, but all I can say is try your best because their will be many applicants this year...and the thought of that frightens me even though we have 6 months remaining :D

Just wondering..how are u going to prepare for the test? Just take coaching?

haha hope so :p

yeah something along those lines...but it'll be hard trying to keep up with school work and achieve high marks..I'm still trying to work out how I'm going to achieve the same reports as last year..it'll be difficult.

haha, one of my friends who also attends Girraween was surprised when I told her school takes a test in order to be enrolled.

Yes, so its a class of 25 students..but because each year a bunch of people move from Girra to Baulko, so that must create more vacancies? So, I'm supposing there will be vacancies from somewhat 25 seats to 30.

Thanks for the wishes :)
Is this actually true because i got reserve no. 3 and idk when to wait for them to call me up. was there a date when they do? because apparantly around five are going to baulko im just waiting
