Year 8-11 Selective Result Discussion (3 Viewers)

35?? for edutest? the max is 25 or something from what I've heard and that is what's on the website?? I was just wondering if it's actually 15 minutes and if we have to write like 2 writing pieces?

Its js one and the website might not be too accurate honestly

For written expression in HAST, it says there could be a topic or issue that prompts discursive writing, or an image that prompts narrative or creative.
It also says you can write in any style.
So if it shows an image, can I still write a persuasive text, or will I loose marks for not writing in the style that is suggested by the prompt?

I think it's 35 mins overall

Oh okay has anybody done edutest writing part before? Because do you have to write two pieces??

 

[notboard]

The last time I did that question, you just have to come in the exam with at least a basic structure and a well thought out character before going in because i got the 2nd percentile for the one section.

ah thanks
do you remember what last year's prompt was tho?

For HAST, I got an email saying that I’m in group 3 when I get to the test centre (Penrith high school), and some of my friends got group 1 and 4. How do they choose the groups? Is it in like alphabetical order or like your grades??

Anyone applied for Normo? What is the timeline of outcome? What the result looks like? Do they let us know score or rankings?
