Same reading, VR, maths, and writing were good for me but i really struggled in NR. its ok tho we jus have to wait for results. My brother went to baulko (year 10 entry also) and he made it in with 2 superiors so if you think you're confident with atleast 2 - 3 superiors u should be good. Idk how i did for HAST though, everything was easy except for maths, only because of time pressure, but i think i should be fine. Good luck to you tho, im pretty sure youll make it in!
for hast i did great for maths cuz i did 9-10 entry maths n 11-12 entry maths paper which is bought fromt heir website n i did awesome in abstract n writing idk cuz i wrote a narrative abt a father telling his exerieince AAFC where he leared leadership n its benefits from this activty n told to his son n his son understood it (he told the son since he saw the son's essay task ). n for eng it was alr tho it was hard like its just so confusingn ty same 2 u

You did Edutest for entry into year 9 right? If you did, do you by any chance remember the text in reading comp about flowers. I was kinda confused by that one, like the question about what part of the rose are they talking abt. I put hair tho I'm not sure if it's right. Do you remember what you put?
oh i put hair too dw im fairly sure its right

I felt pretty similar. I’m confident that I got full marks for reading comprehension and mathematics, I believe I did alright for verbal reasoning as my vocabulary ain’t the best but it was adequate, maybe screwed up writing (really depends if the marker likes my plot) and messed up numerical reasoning. I think the thing about numerical reasoning was that there were too many time-consuming questions. There were also so many people from other selective schools, for instance, NSBHS, NBHS, SBHS, NSGHS, FSHS and etc, which makes me hesitant that I will make it. Based on my personal reflection, I believe I did strong in edutest and it was really hard to believe that some NSG girl sitting next to me (disclaimer: I did not cheat. I have morals, I know the consequences. I am able to utilise my own academic abilities). I don’t want to be rude to her but she struggled to finish like every single test. I was able to finish the majority of the tests in time, but I only struggled with numerical reasoning. There was no need to copy as I finished everything and everything wasn’t that hard. the questions were all pretty straightforward and simple. They weren’t really sophisticated. It was just all time management. However, overall, I don’t believe I will make it into James Ruse AHS as there are probably people who done way better than me. In addition, I don’t think my application was good enough to guarantee an INTERVIEW for the school.
This is pretty much my exact experience! I feel like next year, I need to read more and focus on time management- the questions were easier than I expected(except for numerical lol). Numerical was terrible for me, I suck at those profit/loss type of questions and I had to guess about 5. I currently go to one of the schools you mentioned but tbh my reports weren't that good. But now that I've experienced it, I feel more motivated to study for next year's Edutest

Was it the question about what the "petals" are referring to? I put hair for that one too
