It went well for me ig. I kinda started rushing for maths at the end because I had like 5 mins left. The rest were good. Abstract reasoning was super easy thankfully…Some questions in reading were confusing but overall it was ok. What schools did you apply for?

Oh, that's good! My experience is listed before this in the comments if you're interested, but the schools I applied for were Hurlstone, Penrith and Girraween! What are you're extracurriculars btw? I'll list mine. And what schools are you applying too? You are in year 8 transfer to year 9 right?

Ohh ok. Sorry I actually applied for year 8 entry. I only applied for Penrith, but there were a lot of people so idk if I'll get in or not. I don't have that many extracurriculars, I only did dance, swimming and netball. I also played in a school band. For naplan, my yr 5 results were ok but my yr 7 results were pretty good- I got in the little triangle at the top for maths, grammar and punctuation. The rest were in the exceeding part somewhere in the middle. I also got a credit in the big science competition and an academic achievement from my primary school. I'm probably forgetting many other things though. My supporting documents weren't that good sadly, hopefully the exam results save me.

did we need to put both naplan results or was this just for a specific school?
