  • 2022 Victorian Selective Entry Test Results

The 4% cap is there for a reason. Say for example, Glen Waverley and Box Hill school, every year I heard they have hundreds of students sitting for the selective schools. Most of these students are quite smart. If there are no cap at these school, I am sure they will take out most of the places in selective school. But the problem with these school, I am sure there are many students will get 5 superiors in the exams. Say around 30-40 students got 5 superiors out of 150 students, only 20+ will get the offer for a place in the selective school. Its a harsh reality, I think the best way its to go for a big school and less competitive one.

    hopeful Thanks for replying, but that's not what my question was.

    I was wondering if it is possible for a selective school to send a rejection email even if it was intended for a acceptance letter to be sent

        Why does he think it should be an acceptance letter? Was he being told about this? Or he thinks he should get accepted? I am sure there are other students think they should get an acceptance email too. Sorry I didnt understand your question. Best way is to email Nossal school to ask about this. Good luck.

        Book I don't think that's possible. As you said before, they are extremely professional, and it would've been double checked by multiple teachers and computers before the offers were sent.
        And what TryYourBest said before also plays a huge part cause if the 4% capacity has already been filled in your school, no matter how good your friend got, he wouldn't have been able to get in.

          Book
          I don't want to say it's impossible for them to accidentally send a rejection letter but it's extremely unlikely. The emails are most likely checked many times and rejection and acceptance letters are sent out at different times so they can't accidentally be swapped in and out. Unless your friend had extremely high scores like 4-5 superiors, then I doubt he was accidentally sent a rejection email. Like there was someone that didn't get in despite them having 4 superiors and 1 high average so your friend was probably actually rejected.

            Yea, that's what I thought.

            The reason he thought this was because someone with lower scores got accepted but he didn't. They are in the same class as him.

              Book

              If the other student got into Nossal and has lower scores than the friend, I think your friend should write to question. But if the other student got accepted into Melbourne High, then this might sounds right because Nossal only accepts 200 students whereas Melbourne High accepts 300, its more competitive to get into Nossal I am afraid. Hope this helps.

                  hopeful
                  Isn't Nossal co-ed? If the person who got lower scores than him was a girl, maybe that would play a factor as well?

                      Book
                      Nutella
                      Yeah gender could play a role for Nossal because they usually try to make the amount of boys and girls even. And also if the friend is under Equity Consideration or they rank higher than him in class. If they're male, not under Equity Consideration and rank lower than him then I really have no idea why he didn't get in but his friend did.

                          Nutella

                          Yes the gender plays a part too. For example JMSS such a great school, have one of the hardest selection process, will accept 100 girls and 100 boys, because its a math, science and technology specialist school I believe more boys are being rejected (more interest from this gender). The boys have to compete more.

                            Christy
                            Absolutely not. If you were to receive a place, the school is not allowed to use any kind of bias under any circumstances to preclude sending you an invitation, especially when your email involved simply asking a question.

                              Hello everyone, I just wanna ask what prior knowledge is necessary for intermediate French at Nossal?

                              5 days later

                              hopeful this has happened to me as well, but I think I know why. My friend had two superiors and got in, I got 3 and didn't but was instead offered PD, then a second round offer (I'm talking about mhs). I asked around about it and came to a conclusion that because I did an alternative exam date (I had caught covid on the main exam) the administrators of the exam maybe decided to check if I wasn't faking covid jsut to get 3 more weeks of studying. Needless to say, once I submitted the PD papers, I received an offer 2 days later. Maybe this could help but I honestly dunno.

                                I just read this in the website "The required knowledge in any section will not exceed that found in the Year 8 curriculum". This is for my daughter who will start Year 7 this year in GWSC. Does this mean my daughter need to prepare materials from Year 8 or Year 9?

                                IZM Hi Wanted to check, if your daughter went to any tuition. I am considering a good one but cannot decide for my daughter too. She is in GWSC in Glen Waverly from this year.

                                    GWSC Hi, Yes she went to James an & College (Glen Waverly Branch)... Now my younger one who is in year 7 this year, also going...she is in Dandenong High.

                                        Hello I'm sitting the select entry school exam this year for entry in 2024. Do you think I should put Nossal or Macrob as my first preference, (macrob and melbourne high seem like more popular options at my school and there are less places at nossal.)? Also I attend a very very very competitive school, do you think equity consideration will help me? Thank you.

                                        I am going for the selective entry exam this year and I would like to ask something. I have been browsing around on the ATAR NOTES Selective School Admission Test Server and have commonly seen this phrase "Keep it simple." Should I really keep my written expression simple? One of the people gave a really bad essay idea to show that even that essay if kept simple would get you a good high percentile in the test, is this true? Some other guy said to make your essay sound deep even if it isn't. So I am conflitcted as to whether to keep my story simple and boring which could be a bad decision or make it sound deep which also... could be a bad decision. An experienced person please give me your thoughts!
