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

Do you know how many people usually sit the test at ruse for year 9 entry?

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

Okay thanks!

I fear ruse is on its decline though 🥲 the amount of people getting 99+ atar is reducing quite a lot

Viva_student2025 · Oct 12, 2025

But ruse would probably accept people that put them as 1st preference right?

Not saying that an atar less than 99 is bad

Um I don’t know about that I’ve only heard about that for hast, they don’t gaf, they’re just trying to loot the best performers so if you put it as second pref and don’t get into first but you got good reports, good extracurricular, and 4-5 superiors with at least one high average then ruse will def be sending that email to you

Viva_student2025 · Oct 12, 2025

What subjects in the edutest do ruse consider the most? I'm assuming it's like maths and reading right?

ah i see, i remember my ruse friend mentioned that he applied to take edutest at school so that makes sense now

not trying to downplay my own school but like people who get in during selective, a portion of them start to not care because they think they’ve achievers everything and it drags the grade down so then the entry into 8-11 opens up to try bring up the standard

Yeah it’s fine if you get one high average on one of those though as long as you get superior in the rest you’re sure to get processed for your edutest Marks
