  • 2022 Victorian Selective Entry Test Results

Ommahp Maybe the quota is 5%? I saw something in the Selective exam handbook thing and it said that for PD, it's 5% not 4.

In Info Pack 2023 (page 9) it is clearly stated that, if 4% from a school is filled up..there will be no PD offer...

An illustrative example of the quota process is offered below. At ABC High School, the maximum

number of standard offers that can be made is 4 based on 100 students enrolled at Year 8. The
Principal Discretion Category cannot be used as the Year 8 quota for this school has been
reached. However, offers can be made under the Equity Consideration category to eligible
students as this category is not subject to the quota policy.

    IZM Correct. Lots of mis-information in many previous posts. My advice is to always refer to the Information Pack by DET for the current year as it does change. This year it is 4% (in the last few years it was 5%, many years ago it was 3%). Page 9 of the Info Pack has clear information about this rule.

    My understanding is the PD process has been completed for most schools with school Welcome Day/Info Evening for new students happening this week. So only a couple of late offer rounds for this year.

    katie damn my friend got in mhs with 3 sups 2 highs

      Train ur friend is lucky..

      2 ppl got in from my class, and one of them is a new student last yr. if he didn't come, i wouldve gotten in. like why would you come to my school if you were gonna leave anyways!?!? I will never stop hating him for stealing my spot.

        katie do you go to a competative school? thats probs why you didnt get in. but my school was very competetive as well (around 300)

          oops spelt competitive wrong

          katie He most likely didn't know he would get in. And your scores were like amazing, what did the other two people have to get to get in??

            Train i wouldnt say its a competitive school, just a small one, only 52 students in my grade. Like those two boys are the only ones smarter than me.

              katie Only 52, that is so small. Which school do you go to?

                i know i have asked this many times but is there any other possible way to get in besides PD? like i am really desperate

                  like is there any way my current school can help me get in? or not

                  katie No not really... The only thing that bypasses the 4% rule is the equality thingy (I forgot what it's called)

                    The equity consideration category

                    katie
                    It's like when you sign up to do the test, you have to say if your parents have a health care card or pension card or you're an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander. You can't file for it now though.

                      katie
                      "Students are eligible for a place in the equity consideration category if they:
                      • have parents with either a Commonwealth Health Care Card or a Pension Card, and who
                      qualify for income support benefits.
                      • identify as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islanders on the application form.
                      Eligibility for the equity consideration category is verified at the application stage."
