what were ur hast results??

Mine were pretty good. I got top 10% for maths but it was more of a top 5%, for reading it was top 15%, for writing and abstract reasoning I bombed them somehow, especially abstract. I got the top 50% for both which is average. For abstract, I was surprised that I did the worst because I believe I did the best in the abstract on the day, but it probs mean others did better since it was an easy test, and if everyone did very well it would have been hard to be in the top 10 or even 15%

I ended up getting top 15% overall though

Reserve isn't bad is it? Does anyone know how many students are put on reserve approximately?

i believe that reserve lists are usually 20 ppl, i heard this from some other thread so dont fact check me here

You sure, 20 people, that's way too much to put on reserve. I believe it is the number of people they accepted plus a few more for their reserves , and approx 5-10 are given straight acceptances. So shouldn't there be approx 10-15 reserves at max?

You never know, they had a shit load of people that's what I was told.

we just gotta pray ppl leave the school now, but from what my friends said, an average of like 4 ppl do leave hurlstone to go to a higher school or just bc of moving houses

 

[SMARTYPANTS_SINGH]

I remember for year 11 entry into Penrith there were 77 people as the woman collected the booklets she was counting. And year 7 trying to get into year 8 was hectic
