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

hi there, any idea how many total year 8 took the test last Saturday Edutest? Is it your first time sitting for Edutest? Did you do preparation before test?

 

[saneetaa]

You did Edutest for entry into year 9 right? If you did, do you by any chance remember the text in reading comp about flowers. I was kinda confused by that one, like the question about what part of the rose are they talking abt. I put hair tho I'm not sure if it's right. Do you remember what you put?

do you mean the alice in wonderland extract? In my paper for sydney girls there were no options for hair I'm pretty sure, I put Alice's dress. Or maybe there was (Ican't remmber exactly), but it seemed better to use her dress in the context. I think the answer is hair and I'm wrong. but If youre not talking abt that then im not sure what u mean sryy

Its my first time taking edu test I did HAST last year, I did preparation such as coaching and resources and I also bought practice ests from offical edu test website, and I counted approx 40 people in my cohort year 8 entry to year 9 doing Sydney Girls edu test

 

[saneetaa]

lmao I acctually remmber some of the texts in reading year 9 entry edu test bcs I read them before. Malala Yousafzi, The lion and the mouse, alice in the wonderland and the last was about an animal called honey badger pretty sure. I think there was smth else but the others were just grammar and small paragrpahs, like the first one was about dscovering water/ice on a different planet.
