Year 8-11 Selective Result Discussion (7 Viewers)

Um I don’t know about that I’ve only heard about that for hast, they don’t gaf, they’re just trying to loot the best performers so if you put it as second pref and don’t get into first but you got good reports, good extracurricular, and 4-5 superiors with at least one high average then ruse will def be sending that email to you

not trying to downplay my own school but like people who get in during selective, a portion of them start to not care because they think they’ve achievers everything and it drags the grade down so then the entry into 8-11 opens up to try bring up the standard

Ohh ok

 

[woo_879]

What subjects in the edutest do ruse consider the most? I'm assuming it's like maths and reading right?

Yeah it’s fine if you get one high average on one of those though as long as you get superior in the rest you’re sure to get processed for your edutest Marks

 

[woo_879]

ah i see, i remember my ruse friend mentioned that he applied to take edutest at school so that makes sense now
plus there were a few ruse ppl doing the test in my hall lol

yeah lol it’s kinda silly but idk it doesn’t make a big difference because I remember like a few years back maybe before 2020, someone told us that the ruse scalar performed better than the whole cohort so the it couldn’t be used for comparison

 

[woo_879]

But trust no ruse student is really going to be taking it seriously my friend literally dozed off half way through so scaling shouldn’t be too influential on your marks and admission

Oh phew I was worried that the ruse students would get like all superiors or something lol

 

[Viva_student2025]

So technically the lowest you can get on edutest and still get into ruse is like 3 superiors and 2 above average right?

 

[Viva_student2025]

I'll still aim to get all superiors though

yeah i agree w this
i didn't have many extracurriculars and i lowkey flopped the interview, but in the end test results matter the most

for year 9 entry yh probably but i reckon you would need good excs/reports or something that makes you stand out
i mean 5 superiors is ideal bahaha
i heard someone made it to interview with worse than that but idk if he got in

Ohh ok. I have like 2 excs and 2 academic achievements lol but I hope my edutest gets me in

 

[woo_879]

lol yeah that’s fine if your reports are like basically all As especially in all core subjects and no Cs and beyond and you perform well on the test it’s completely fine you’re getting in. I know I’d you apply to Baulkho, maybe it changed now but my friend applied last year for entry into year 10, and she got 2 d’s, one in maths and one in engkish and she still got in cause of edu

 

[spiderlemonade]

Ohh ok. I have like 2 excs and 2 academic achievements lol but I hope my edutest gets me in

oh thats more than enough for yr9 entry provided u do well on edutest, but you have like a whole year to study for edutest lol
i had nearly the same amount

 

[woo_879]

Yeah I can’t believe there were people who studied for like a month and got into any edutest transfer school

 

[Viva_student2025]

Ohh that's a relief, thanks for all the info!

if you don’t mind me asking, what rank school are you from like top 10,20/30. And also you spiderlemonade?

 

[spiderlemonade]

my schools usually bottom of top 10

 

[woo_879]

my schools usually bottom of top 10

Oh that’s still pretty good. I just wanted to know where the majority of transfers came from. Most come from top 10 too, so it shouldn’t be too hard to adjust here. The lowest i know who’s transferred is from a 40+ ranked school.

when I tried searching up my school's ranking, it said it's not publicly available... But all I know is that my school's ranking isn't very high. That's basically the reason I was aiming for a higher ranked school. Do they take the current school ranking seriously when determining transfers for year 9?
