Year 8-11 Selective Result Discussion (2 Viewers)

[jane1820]

Hey I know you probably don't remember what you got on your HAST test, but I was just curious (because I'm also applying for st george) if you have a rough idea of how high did you score to get an interview for the school? (around what percentile)

wait (ok serious mode) my sister got the interview for sgghs too for yr 11 n her HAST was like … um… (trying to word it to not make my sister sound stupid) lower ig? anyways she made the shortlist but unfortunately didnt make it in but her REPORTS N EXTRA CORRICULARS WERE LIKE RLLY GOOOD SHE CAME I THIK 1ST IN ENG 2ND IN MATH N TOP 10 IN OTHER SUBJECTS AS A SELECTIVE STUDENT so i guess sgghs dont consider HAST as a big thing

*cough* she got low 15% *cough*
but at the time she had her reasons

Okay thank you so much!! That makes me feel a lot less stressed about the test. My reports these past 2 semesters have been pretty good, but I also go to a really really low ranking public school so I'm going to hope that doesn't influence their decision too much

AWH I WAS LIKE U LAST YR
i went to the 3 lowest skl jn the state (u can check that skl) cus it was my local n i had reports ALL STRAIGHT A’S (yr 8 sem 2 n yr 9 sem 1) w a fair amount of extra cocurriculars (im new to Australia so literally had no idea what that was so i was slowly participating in some) n until now i still think that my skl was the reason for not accepting me
(i moved to selective for a partially selective skl)
i dont mean to be rude or anything but FOR ME even though i did much better than my sister in the HAST last yr i feel like they only considered her cus she was selective? Ik another girl who also got in n she also was selective
ANYWAYS I RLLY RLLY RLLY HOPE THERE ISNT A ‘TREND’ WHERE THEY ONLY CHOOSE SELECTIVE STUDENTS CUS I FEEL U (i went to lowest 3) N I THINK U DESERVE IT (WE ALL DO)
*fingers crossed*

[jane1820]

Dw abt it then

 

[jane1820]

like WHOLE SECTION??? what is tested in that?

No its part of math, check this website; scroll to secondary tests n click mathematical reasoning n read it; it tells u exactly what subjects u r going to be tested on

HAST program

[jane1820]

Wait nvm I read about the section on the website. I'm assuming they expect you to remember stuff from years 7-10 science

NAH CUS FR MY DORI MEMORY DOESNT REMEMBER YESTERDAY FOR SHIT HOW TF AM I TO REMEMBER YR 7-9 (i thought today is saturday )

 

[Bendwhat?_over]

Wait nvm I read about the section on the website. I'm assuming they expect you to remember stuff from years 7-10 science

No, they don't. You don't need to study any syllabus topics for selective. Any information you need during the tests, they'll give it to you. Just in an incredibly complicated way.

Wait nvm I read about the section on the website. I'm assuming they expect you to remember stuff from years 7-10 science

I'm p sure they give you the information for the question and you just need to know how to apply it.

trust me, sgg basically accepts everyone LOL try aim for at least top 30 percentiles and you'll probably be considered. do u do sport, cuz if u have sport achievments they'll look at it and be like also how are ur grades and ur report? and ur extra curiculars?
