Fr?? What’s so bad about it? My school offers panorama and says that it’ll count towards the Duke of ed 100 hour community service thing.. plus would it make a good exc or nah?

Haven’t thought much abt this, but are north Sydney girls, Sydney girls and hornsby girls also good options for yr 9 entry, or are the odds low for them as well?

Omg what
I genuinely thought it was just doing 100hrs of community service then going out for a nice walk in the woods with ur friend and a heavy backpack for like 10km..
Am I that crazy to think that

 

[clockiework]

yeah maybe the other people who got in or know about it maybe be able to help, @clockiework @Smartboiiii @aaliya yeah sorry if I tagged the wrong people

mb guys im prolly so late, but basically when i applied this yr to 1. syd tech 2. hurlstone 3. mac fields, im pretty sure for these type schools order does matter since a kid in my grade at tuition, he got into hurlstone which he ranked pref. 1 even tho he got same hast bands as me, and i got rejected from hurlstone, i made it to sydney tech, but that could be bcuz more vacancies, although come to think of it , i swear i heard everyone getting into hurlstone, like one in every 4 hast kids in my area (random statistic i made up) got into hurlstone.. and @Smartboiiii said he got rejected from syd tech cuz he ranked it 3rd, im not sure about top ranked schools (or mainly edutest schools), but i think they care a lot more about ECs too, also since none of the top ranked schools use HAST, its hard to tell, but i think for hast schools pref. might matter subtly.

Where did you do urs?

hawkesbury river
but it was wet season and we all got bitten by leaches (i kept itching from them for a whole 2 months after)

They never have many spots until like year 11 since they never open a new class(i think)

[Viva_student2025]

Do you guys think it would be a good idea to use AMC practice tests to prepare for edutest?

 

[Viva_student2025]

Wait so are you going to penrith or girra yr 10 next year?

 

[spiderlemonade]

No, the questions in AMC are harder than edutest questions

 

[boredofdtudiesuser]

Congrats for the offer to Sydney Tech! Coming from a student who attends Mac Fields, it ain't too good of a school, and the rank fluctuates massively. I also did Edutest and HAST this year, and I made it into Baulkham Hills, Girraween and I also got an offer to Syndey Grammar, however, I was on reserve for James Ruse!

so ur going to syndey gramma or JR or BBHS

Yeah same I need some help, could you please share how you prepared and what your HAST and Edutest results were?

 

[Viva_student2025]

ok so for hast, i was top 10% for everything, and for edutest, i was superior for everything.

Oh wow those are great results. How did you prepare?
