How long does it take to finish the maths test tho ...

I'm pretty sure we get 45 mins in total for maths if that's what you're asking.

I did it last year for year 8 into 9 entry and if I recall, there was 1 prompt

 

[notboard]

how many writing prompts are there in the edutest exam? apparently there's 2 to complete in 15 minutes each...

 

[saneetaa]

guys i need help!! im about to answer sudney girls questions:

Why do you want to come to Sydney Girls High School
What are you passionate about
Tell us about a difficulty or disappointment you have experienced and how you overcame it
Moving schools after Year 7 is challenging. If successful, how will you adjust to a new school environment


does anyone know what they like/looking for or know what anyone else who got into sydney girls high school trhough edu test did?

thanks!

 

[notboard]

you have to answer the questions by lying basically. you want to show them your social, productive side so you can write about how you love sports (if you don't just say that you're not good at it but you love it) and how you'll make a difference when you transfer. you should also glaze the school and make up small anecdotes in questions that are appropriate to do so such as the difficulty/disappointment question. make it so that you have character development yk.
I know I probably know nothing about sydney girls so don't take my advice heavily.

that said, are the two writing prompts for edutest each narrative and persuasive or is it random

 

[saneetaa]

thank you!!


also to answer ur question i only know for hast test but i feel like going on to the actual edu test site and seeing what they are doing might help

 

[notboard]

ah thanks
the official edutest website doesn't say anything besides the fact that the test is 15 minutes long
guess I'll be failing that bit

i'm pretty sure there is only one writing prompt for edutest, either narrative or persuasive but i'm not 100% sure just based on what i have seen in this discussion
