Oh damn yeah but you’d also have to count the people that out James ruse as second pref or third cause they wouldn’t do the edutest at ruse but at their first pref school

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.

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

Not saying that an atar less than 99 is bad

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

like they just use people from that school as a comparison to the cohort taking the test

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

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
plus there were a few ruse ppl doing the test in my hall lol

woo_879 said:

yeah lol it’s kinda silly but idk it doesn’t make a big difference because I remember like a few years back maybe before 2020, someone told us that the ruse scalar performed better than the whole cohort so the it couldn’t be used for comparison

But trust no ruse student is really going to be taking it seriously my friend literally dozed off half way through so scaling shouldn’t be too influential on your marks and admission
