I go to ruse but I was there for the edutest last year because they use some ruse school students as like mark scalers, like to see the performance of the cohort for the edutest in ruse
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...

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

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
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

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

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
