wait so they mostly likely dont take you if you are not there first choice?
More ppl apply for girra than sghs, last yr for y11 entry they had like 20 spots and there were only 20ppl applying for 1st choice

No it doesnt lol, most of the girra transfers were from non selec or partial selec schools and alot of the penriths got rejected
hmm alr. It probably cos girra isn't too highly ranked. It definitely does matter in higher ranked schools tho.

that's true. There was lwk like 200 year 9s applying for year 10 last year it was crazy. But then again there were 20 spots, which is a ton of people.

dont worry just make sure you get good reports and do well in the edutest. i havent done the edutest personally but i heard its easy just rlly strict with the time but im sure that there r like online courses u can buy to practice for it. also assuming u live near penrith isnt sg kinda far?
