Hey guys hope the exams went well, all the best with the results. If you don't get what you were looking for you can try in future years or if you stay in your current school you can definitely still do well for year 11 and year 12 it will just take a lot more hard work and discipline from you guys. If you are looking to sit it in future years I would highly recommend practicing way earlier for the exam as it can be make or break so it is good to practice beforehand. Please do not cram as the skills you need for time management cannot be learnt in a week before the exam. A lot of the skills assessed are not covered in school and dedicated practice over a long period of time is needed to perform well.

Based off my experience, the tests weren’t extremely hard. They were pretty easy. The hardest were probably just numerical reasoning and verbal reasoning. Math and Reading Comprehension were really self-explanatory and straight-forward.

Did anyone do year 8 Edutest this saturday (for entry into year 9)?
I did really well, especially in math. I think I'm going to get full marks. English was also easy, and so was verbal reasoning. I finished it in 3 minutes. Writing was plenty of time and I think I idd good. Verbal reasoning was the hardest I educated guessed 12 questions rest I did

I just did edutest yesterday for James Ruse Agricultural High School. I would like to ask people about their experiences.
I also did the ruse test for entry into year 9. Reading and writing were my best, verbal was alright and i messed up numerical. There were so many people there especially baulko kids, im not confident that i'll get in

Same i think im going to get full marks in math. Reading comprehension was not too hard. In numerical reasoning I had to guess a few questions. Writing wasn't too bad. And for me verbal reasoning was the hardest I had to guess more questions than in numerical reasoning.

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.
