Do y'all remember those questions about what is certain, most likely, etc. to happen based on a short text in Verbal Reasoning? Did you guys find that confusing, hard...? I guessed A (certain) for all of those questions (which was about 15?) since I knew I'd waste away too much time on those :-\

Oh really? I thought those questions were quite easy, though I didn't answer a few of them until the end. I finished most of questions with about 5-10 minutes to spare and then did those ones when I had time left.

I guess I was too concerned about running out of time :P
Please tell me that most of your answers from that section were A's :o

I'm pretty sure most of the answers were either 'Probably True' or 'Probably False'. I remember a few of them being 'Insufficient Information' though. I know at least one or two of them were 'Certain' though. Sorry N.R <3

Can anyone go in depth into the 5% rule and how the offers get sent, like will they email you saying you didn't get in or something like that?

Cheers

Hello!
The 5% rule is talking about how much it is of a cohort in your school. For example, if your school had 100 students, 5% of it is  students. This means that only 5 students can only get into any of teh selective schools which are Melbourne High, Macrob, Nossal and Susan Corie.

They will send you an email if you got in and if you didn't, ii'm pretty sure they won't send you anything. Then a week later or something like that, they send your actual results which are how many superiors and above averages you got etc.
