oh i also grinded the cambridge maths year 8 textbook but thats pretty much it
and if i had to retake the test, i would also expand my vocabulary because there were quite a few vocab questions in verbal reasoning that i struggled with :[
if you feel like you do need extra tutoring ive heard that selective specialist and eduvision r good although i havent been to either myself

Do you know how much the mark scalers in ruse usually get? Like all superiors or some above average? Just so I have an idea of where to aim...
um my friends and I got 4-5 superiors, but the least they’d dip down to accept is 3 superiors and the rest high averages

there was like 80-100 this year, we had to go to two different exam venues based on last name so i got separated from my friends
For year 9, it’s like a lot of people maybe like 150+? Because year 9 is where they practically accept a whole class. I don’t quite remember, the amount of people trying out dwindles significantly for year 11 entry because at that point it’s so late in high school that you’d join. Also for year 9 entry there were only like 1-3 mark scalers whereas in year 11 entry there was 8-10 scalers.
Oh damn yeah but you’d also have to count the people that put James ruse as second pref or third cause they wouldn’t do the edutest at ruse but at their first pref school
