hi guys!! I was just wondering whether my submitted academics/extracurriculars/awards could lowkey carry my year 11 applications into ruse/nsg because i have horrible luck with day-long tests so i kinda can't bank on doing insanely well on the edutest. Also for context, I currently attend a mid tier selective school.
but anyways they are as below:

In my application, I also included my 2024 Short List letter from Fort Street High School, A letter of recommendation from my 2024 English teacher and one of my speeches from a public speaking competition.
My 2025 school report only has 1 B in music and the rest are A's, I also currently study agriculture and I have an A in it as well, so I think that's pretty good for Ruse. However, my 2024 reports aren't as good.
My 2024 NAPLAN is all in the exceeding bracket with grammar & punctuation and numeracy being in the triangle.
My 2022 NAPLAN is alright but my writing is below the national average in it.
I obviously know that the edu test is still a huge portion of whether they accept you or not but if anyone could lmk just how hard i need to try to stand out that would be great thank u!! #plsdontdoxme
