it doesn't matter what school yk he could be hella dumb even though he goes fully selective while you might only go partial selective you could be way smarter. have some confidence bro
I agree, also, not all full selective schools are good. Schools like Syd Tech are kinda on the poorer end.

anyone have any resources they can lend me to prepare for the test?
the tests are really easy according to people I've met who have transferred to sbhs, so Id suggest you practice writing if that's not your strong point, and otherwise find resources online that are around the level of questions you do at school

no cuz like this is what SBHS said they will be assessing students on to gain entry:

Selection Criteria
Students selected for enrolment at SBHS are expected to support and enhance the ethos of the school in its pursuit of academic excellence, through its competition in the AAGPS and by participation in a range of co-curricular activities. The Selection Committee considers:

  • the educational history of the student
  • his performance in academic competitions
  • his sporting interests and accomplishments
  • his co-curricular interests and abilities
  • his reasons for wishing to attend SBHS
  • the availability of subjects/courses or combinations of these
  • his proximity and ease of access to the school
  • compassionate circumstances
  • whether he has siblings already enrolled in the school
  • his desire to access single sex education
  • the impact on local public comprehensive schools
  • the effects on local area selective classes in comprehensive schools

"The school that the student attends" is not something they mark you on. Contrastingly, they do mark you on your proximity to the school so like oof
tell me toms if u got an invite for the test or not
