Hey, thank you for this update. It really sucks to hear because now the stress will continue to burn.
Yeah, I think it makes sense, but it also have some negative connotations as well. Infact, they conducted online testing with the Year 10 entrance exams, and due to the restricting time frame to select students they cancelled the essay componentand students were asked to submit a personal statement outlining the reasons for them wanting to attend a selective school to the school itself.
However, we will probably not have to write a personal statement as the selection for year 10 entry is at the principals discretion and isn't governered by the department of education, like the year 9 entrance is. But there is a possibility of the writing examination being cancelled, which isn't good at all and it'll make the whole thing 20% more competitive.
But anyways guys, lets not worry about what will happen with the examination. It's the Selective Entrys units job to worry about what will happen.
However, I will also like to say, when you hear information about the examination details make sure its from official sources. There do exist people who would be willing to create such documents to hurt or mislead others and give them the false hope/information as a result of it.
