Last minute tips for the selective school exams

i got a first round offer into nossal, but also a principals discretion thing in macrob. I dont know if i want to go through the whole interview process. they check your reports and although my report for last year was really good, (only A's and A+'s) my report for this year wasnt very good (A's and A+'s in english and history stuff but some B's in maths and an occasional C in some subjects) I spent so much time studying for the exam that i kind of ditched school work and ended up getting B's and C's in my best subjects.

There is a pretty large emphasis placed on co-curricular for principals discretion (Or it might only be the case in Year 10 entry?), but if your reports aren't straight A's then don't worry, I doubt your competition will have those.
Try to smash the interview! Good luck :)

Thanks Hannibal,
I'm not sure whether i should go to macrob or nossal though. Nossal is like less than ten mins away from my house whereas id have to travel three hrs a day if i went to macrob. im happy with either but going to nossal would be much easier for me ;D ;D ;D ;D
lolface:
thats great, extra curricular is my jam ;D
