My parents just found out today that I got an offer from Sydney tech 2 years ago but didn’t check it, eventhough I’ve spent basically the whole of highschool thinking I didn’t get in.

Omg that must have a been a tough time for U since U thought U didn't get in Sydney Tech this whole time

for reading, i just did some SAT questions which were much harder than the real exam and i got top 15%, for writing i didn't use a single good vocab, just had a clear structure and decided to express my answers in the formed of a half discursive/ half narrative which got me top 15%, for abstract reasoning its literally the same questions as the hast papers you buy online so i got top 10% for that, and for maths i didnt know what to study for it so i bombed it and got top of 50%, my overal was top 15%.

tbh, when i did the writing in year 8 (frankly i got bottom 10%), but this year i didn't do anything really special, i just wrote a title this time, and had a clear structure (intro, body, conclusion), a tip is talk about a relationship (like a father and son), and try to have like a past and present kind of an experience with it where the father gives advice or smth.

 

[KoKoNutz]

also did u get into girra ?
