did you meant nsb / north sydney boys? or is there another school when you say nhbs? If you meant nsb, they used Edutest, not hast, last year. Edutest writing prompts are very generic, to a point where you can fit any story around it, so have one or two narrative ready to go. it should be the...

no i was saying that because parents still needs to be pay more than $45,000 every year, and just because they have an entrance test and does well in hsc, doesn't mean its a selective school, so i thought.

are you a parent or a student? Sydney grammar is not a selective school, it's a private school but you can apply for a scholarship. are you saying you are studying 3 hrs a day? or have 3 hours to spare to prep for the test? if you are studying 3 hours on top of homework and...

wow. how were you able to fit everything in with ext 2, english (phys and chem)?

curious, when did you start studying for ucat? i heard as early as year 8, mostly year 11, some starting at year 12 (who still managed to scored great marks but they are probably super smart anyway)

are you referring that 2 people transferred into year 8 ruse this year? if it is, that's correct info (although they didn't get to come at orientation day). 29 of us transferred into year 9 this year (~13 or 14 boys from my memory). I glanced through your previous posts and saw you spoke to both...

i dont think any of them uses edutest. i thought only ruse, nsb, nsg, bualko, sb, and sg where they use edutest.

hey, which schools are you applying to? For edutest, you can probably use my previous post, link below. As a very short summary, make sure you can read quickly and solve maths quickly. Good luck...

lol. is she dropping you off at school? maybe too much hassle for her to pick you and your sister up when in different school. given that applying doesn't mean that you will get in, apply to all the schools you want and then decide if you get an offer. if you are interested in Edutest info...

tbh I was generalising rather than being hornsby specific but if I was in your situation, I wouldn't limit myself to just hornsby. Apply for others like sydney and north sydney girls (although they use edutest) if you are keen on girls school only, so build your portfolio.

make sure you participate in co-curricular activities at Chatswood and build a solid portfolio with activities you enjoy in. I didn't do HAST, so can't give you advice there, but what I will say is transfer into Year 8 is harder than transferring into Year 9, purely because there are less...

Hey Sethio, congrats on multiple offers! enjoying the new dilemma? based on our previous chats, you sounded like you wanted to go to baulko and scholarship wasn't even a thing you mentioned of. But, because they offered to you all of sudden, you are now in this dilemma. thats all I will say...

you should try ruse again next year, and given that you were shortlisted this year. you will have very good chance of getting for yr 9 entry (which has +25 intakes compared to year 8 entry) as long as you keep your current standards. i dont think any school has given advantage, new students this...

Congrats! Although its not baulko, I used below link for an my interview prep, which is similar to what was mentioned already. https://boredofstudies.org/threads/james-ruse-entry-application-and-interview-tips-and-questions.388262/

Congrats! Both great schools. I don't think you will regret with any of them.

I did as well but Secretive fish's year would have been harder to get in as only 11 people were accepted for year 11 entry next year

I read Q14 now. 9 seeds? 0.333333.... is the probability when I plant 3 seeds, so 9 seeds. if i plant 8, it might be bit less than 0.9

I read questions 14 and 15 very well. I am not that confident but my answers are; Q24. 1/12 (only way you can pick up $20 is picking two $10, so 3 cards out of 9 cards multiply by 2 cards out of Eight cards left

They can't give you an offer even if you are top 1% at all subjects when there is literally no spot available. If someone in year 7 decides to leave at the end of the year, you will be contacted for an interview, so waitlist makes sense.

Yeh I think weird as well. Did you hear anything from nsb btw? There was been no rejection or acceptance email from nsb, although it doesn't matter too much, I was curious.
