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

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

Oh phew I was worried that the ruse students would get like all superiors or something lol

Viva_student2025 · Oct 12, 2025

So technically the lowest you can get on edutest and still get into ruse is like 3 superiors and 2 above average right?

Viva_student2025 · Oct 12, 2025

I'll still aim to get all superiors though

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

yeah i agree w this
i didn't have many extracurriculars and i lowkey flopped the interview, but in the end test results matter the most

for year 9 entry yh probably but i reckon you would need good excs/reports or something that makes you stand out
i mean 5 superiors is ideal bahaha

lol yeah that’s fine if your reports are like basically all As especially in all core subjects and no Cs and beyond and you perform well on the test it’s completely fine you’re getting in. I know I’d you apply to Baulkho, maybe it changed now but my friend applied last year for entry into year 10, and she got 2 d’s, one in maths and one in engkish and she still got in cause of edu

Yeah I can’t believe there were people who studied for like a month and got into any edutest transfer school

if you don’t mind me asking, what rank school are you from like top 10,20/30. And also you spiderlemonade?

my schools usually bottom of top 10

Oh that’s still pretty good. I just wanted to know where the majority of transfers came from. Most come from top 10 too, so it shouldn’t be too hard to adjust here. The lowest i know who’s transferred is from a 40+ ranked school.

when I tried searching up my school's ranking, it said it's not publicly available... But all I know is that my school's ranking isn't very high. That's basically the reason I was aiming for a higher ranked school. Do they take the current school ranking seriously when determining transfers for year 9?

Ahh not too much, especially if you score quite well like all to majorly superiors. But if there’s like a group of higher ranked school students and they perform and their reports and stuff are similar they might tend to prefer higher ranked students because they think it’s hard for students beyond a certain range to adjust. But I think it’s since, if the ranking isn’t available then it shouldn’t be an issue

woo_879 · Oct 12, 2025

I mean people transferred from a 40+ school recently which is a big jump so it really shouldn’t matter in the end

Yeah hope so...

Didn’t Someone here transfer from hurlstone to jr this year? That’s like a jump from mid rank to top rank school. So it should be fine for you. Also you should try out for Baulkho too like put it as your second pref because there’s a good chance you could get into there as well
