Yea I'm applying for MHS Year 9 entry. There was also a few typos in this weeks maths as well.

Good luck on the exam and it is really infuriating with the typos. I'm applying for Suzanne Cory.

and sometimes they get things wrong, like they won't have a single right answer,
This week I knew I was right because it was a simple equation and they had no right answer so then I used a calculator and there was no right answer

there was one time where all the right answers were in bold
Yeah I remember that lmao. Perhaps we should move this discussion to Casual chat so we don't over fill the recent posts board.

Pretty good, I usually get around 80-85% on the tests so I'm coping well I think

Is this the TT Edu exams and also under timed test conditions? If so that is quite impressive. I've seen those exams as I have a younger sibling sitting the exam next year. They are not easy and have some bizarre questions at the year 10-12 level for things like Math...

I time myself and when we had on location tutoring they used to time us, the topics became gradually harder and the times became shorter so we used to get 5 minute extensions (not sure if other people had this)!

It's not the end of your life.

If you are academic, you will do really well at any school iMO. The school won't define you.

Are your parents ok or r they pissed/upset?

Hey,

First of all, its ok to feel upset. I understand you're disappointed, and so are your parents. But it's important to remember that even though you're not able to get into macrob this year, it's not the end of your academic career. There have been many people from non-select entry public schools who have scored 99+, and honestly, even if you end up attending macrob, you can't guarantee that you will necessarily do very well (have seen cases where people who did better than me in the select entry exam get a much lower ATAR in the end).

I think your parents may have a good reason not to pay for your tuition. If your current school's decent and there are a few dedicated teachers, if you stay at your current school and work hard, there will be teachers who go above and beyond and help you to achieve the best academically. On the other hand, being an ex select entry student myself, I've had some of the worst teachers I've ever encountered, and had to rely on a lot of self-study to push through. That saying, I did not attend Macrob, so teachers there might be quite different. But I just wanted to let you know that it's not the end all be all, and you can still do really well even if you don't get in.
