I'm so worried though. I don't want my tutor or my parents to be disappointed in me. I know they will say they aren't but in the inside they are. For now, I'm going to keep my head high and hope for the best.
You won't be a disappointment. The only person this should effect is you. It shouldn't matter to your parents or your tutor. Getting in doesn't make you any more intelligent than not getting in. Some people guess all the answers and get in. Unlikely, but it happens. Just don't consider your self a disappointment based on one exam and an application for one school.

Thank you, I'll definitely take these wise words into consideration.

Hi everybody!

In light of the Premier’s announcements on Sunday the 6th of September, the exam will be postponed, confirmation of the postponed details will be sent only to registered email addresses, and I will also keep you all updated through this thread. I don't have specific details now. All I currently know is that the examination will be postponed.

Suzanne Cory, a school who is apart of the selective entry high school network has made a post on their facebook page explaining that the exam is going to be postponed again.
Here is the post for convenience:
Due to the announcements yesterday in regards to the extended Stage 4 restrictions currently in place in Metro Melbourne, the examination date will need to be postponed to a later date.

The Selective Entry Network, consisting of all four Victorian Selective Entry High Schools are currently being guided by The Department for the next steps moving forward.

Thank you again for your patience as we are guided through this unique situation.

Stay safe!

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.

Anything posted on this website or sent form this email [email protected] can be seen as official and confirmed. As well as the schools who are apart of the Victorian Selective Entry High Schools networks' websites.
