Wait nvm I read about the section on the website. I'm assuming they expect you to remember stuff from years 7-10 science 😭
No, they don't. You don't need to study any syllabus topics for selective. Any information you need during the tests, they'll give it to you. Just in an incredibly complicated way.

AWH I WAS LIKE U LAST YR :(
i went to the 3 lowest skl jn the state (u can check that skl) cus it was my local n i had reports ALL STRAIGHT A’S (yr 8 sem 2 n yr 9 sem 1) w a fair amount of extra cocurriculars (im new to Australia so literally had no idea what that was so i was slowly participating in some) n until now i still think that my skl was the reason for not accepting me :(
(i moved to selective for a partially selective skl)
i dont mean to be rude or anything but FOR ME even though i did much better than my sister in the HAST last yr i feel like they only considered her cus she was selective? Ik another girl who also got in n she also was selective
ANYWAYS I RLLY RLLY RLLY HOPE THERE ISNT A ‘TREND’ WHERE THEY ONLY CHOOSE SELECTIVE STUDENTS CUS I FEEL U (i went to lowest 3) N I THINK U DESERVE IT (WE ALL DO)
*fingers crossed*
what schools ru applying for

Hey I know you probably don't remember what you got on your HAST test, but I was just curious (because I'm also applying for st george) if you have a rough idea of how high did you score to get an interview for the school? (around what percentile)
trust me, sgg basically accepts everyone LOL try aim for at least top 30 percentiles and you'll probably be considered. do u do sport, cuz if u have sport achievments they'll look at it and be like 🤩 also how are ur grades and ur report? and ur extra curiculars?

Oh sweet I should be alright then. Uhm. should. I got like bottom-mid top 10% last year
Yeah you have a pretty good chance then but also be mindful of teachers comments on reports they look at that alot - as for girra i dont think they gaf abt extracurriculars much
