I didn't meet anybody :(

Yeah, went pretty well on the test. I finished all of them and did really well except for the last essay. I messed up on it and didn't finish in time. Other than that I did pretty well.

How about the rest of y'all?

LOL yea... for maths I have to guess like 8 question though... Essays were alright i guess, LOL yea at first i read the essay and was like OH GAWD a teacher teaching a yr. 5 student? :O LOL i was like the nucleus is like the 'brain' Hahaha I picked topic 2,(respiratory or circulatory system) only because i knew it was easier.
Found numerical reasoning the easiest.

Well that was some test huh?, really intense. How did everyone go?
Personally I think I did better on the Numerical reasoning test than I did on the Maths test. I also am very grateful for my friend who gave me videos about cells and atoms on Thursday, so I think I went pretty well on the second essay.
Hannibal I forgot to get your name sorry :c I didn't mean to be rude or anything.

Hey, I only met hannibal cos he was sitting near me.
I found Numerical Reasoning the easiest as well. All the tests were easy except science reasoning. Science Reasoning was literally WTF for me. All the essays and the other tests were good. I did topic 1, the prac! Loved the last essay so much, did halfway up to the final page  ;D I am proud of my efforts. Might have got in, might have not. Does anyone know for sure how many people there was?

I didn't go so good on the first essay. For maths I did pretty bad as well I only completed half the test, the rest I guessed all C's. I met Hannibal during the break I was a bit awkward though sorry about that :P

It was decent I suppose... No major complaints :). SKGUN was sitting near me and I met godzerah during the break haha, it wasn't overly awkward ;).

Science Reasoning - Very similar to ICAS, some questions took a while to get my head around
Numerical Reasoning - Pretty good, a few that took a little long so I skipped :P
Science Interest - The topics were terrible -.-. Decided to do the relationship between circulatory and respiratory because the other one was so ambiguous :/.
Maths - Probably the easiest one haha, only a few that were a little iffy.
Science Reasoning - Loved the topic, I made plenty of analogies and tried to relate it to a younger audience, although I wish I could go in depth about some of the concepts.

Overall, it was alright haha! How did everyone else find it?

I was in the 600-700 area, and I saw the numbers go up to something just short of 800. I was expecting waaaay more...
That increases our chances by about 10% :P.

Yeah, I don't think there were even 750 people::) because my last name starts with a "Z" so I was actually sitting on the
last row with no one else on my right, haha :P and my table no. said G0733, so I'm guessing that I was the 733rd person. There were only about 10 more people behind me ;)
