    Girraween Interview Help

    Most likely, they will ask you questions like: What can you bring to the school? What extra curricular activities are you involved in? Favourite subject and why? Why do you want to come to this school specifically? What do you want to do at uni? Subjects for year 11? For agricultural schools -...

    How do i revise for maths?

    I'd say go full steam with as many papers as you can find. Doing actual papers will be far more valuable than textbook questions with the exam less than a month away. Focus on your weaknesses now, and during the actual exam, focus on your strengths. Also, I'd recommend marking each paper you...

    Year 11 Selective Test

    Ah had no idea that was the case. Best thing would be jst to stay on ur toes and prepare for interview questions. If the outcome doesn't pan out well, remember that in the end everything boils down to your own individual marks, school ranking, scaling, and all that aside, so don't associate...

    Year 11 Selective Test

    Yep I had mostly 90s and 80s in my report as well, which would translate to As and Bs I'd imagine. I ranked 2nd in maths from yr 8 - 10, so that mightve helped, although I heard that they also place some emphasis on teacher comments - can't say if that is true. Have u applied for any other...

    Year 11 Selective Test

    I had representative swimming, competitive tennis and martial arts. Thats all. No duke of ed, no leadership, and still got a year 11 first round interview offer, don't be so quick to depreciate your application :) If you do reach the interview stage, preparing for those kind of questions can...

    math tutoring for extension 1 URGENT!!!!

    Whereabouts do you live? Kurt, Dr Du and Ngo and Sons are popular options. You could also opt for private if all of those options are too far.

    Selective schools

    I honestly didn't have many extra curricular involvements. Only had representative swimming, tennis, and martial arts outside of school. Zero involvement with any leadership stuff, no duke of ed, no public speaking, no volunteering, no music, no school clubs. As for my report: maths, English...

    Selective schools

    There may be some late round interviews handed out, so don't assume it's all over. I had friends who had interviews a week or two after mine which was unexpected.

    Am i the only one who found s2 really dodgy. I narrowed the answer options down to 2 and then kidna educated guessed which was right. Other sections were alright, and s3 was fine for the most part except maybe 2 or 3 questions.
