I think your report looks good. Come to ruse, not baulko :)
for edutest, you want to have 3 superior to 4 superiors. but then maybe 5 for year 10.
year 10 entry can be really tough (only 2 people accepted this year), anwyay dont be too disappointed if you dont get it for year 10 entry and try...
i assume he is thinking of applying for next year into yr11, we only took 2 people into year 10 and they both started already.
i have few friends at nsb and imo ruse and nsb isn't too different other than co-curriculars offered and being co-ed vs boys only.
many talks on about rank 1 vs 2 but...
hey congrats and welcome.
dw about connections. on the orientation day, you will meet your buddy who you can ask any questions. on top of that, ususally gc and discord created by the transfers.
i am not sure but from what i remember, once they get your edutest result, two teachers look at your reports and portfolio and grade them, then it goes to interview. good luck!
always impressed at how well Sethio writes. agree that edutest practice papers are useless. total waste of time and you might get a wrong impression that it is really easy.
for hast, i heard that you need to prepare for abstract reasoning.
I think this is what thisas is referring to about edutest. Hope you find it helpful. good luck.

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...
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...
