Hey guys in an interview do you reckon i should do short answered questions or long answered questions
Though I haven't been in a school interview before, I think you should provide elaboration when necessary, e.g. 'what makes you a good student', as opposed to 'what do you in your leisure time.' I believe if you provide long responses for every/most questions it may be quite tedious. Personally, having long responses for some questions shows your preparedness, but also tells whoever is interviewing you that you have judgement skills, meaning what things to place emphasis on and you prioritising ability. But, at the end of the day, pick what is best for you. Even though I may not know you, best of luck and you got this!!!!

Usually they send out offers with reserves before rejections, because the offers require signed paperwork to confirm if they are transferring or not

Yh, he got interview with penrith
Man, I don't want to assume, but just called them up again today, and they said the same thing and said that the results come the first week of October by a call. So unless your friend applied for another year instead of year 11, I don't really know man.
