NSN Ah I see, tutoring is so damn expensive though, I'll probably fail.

      Don't worry, your parents will take care of that 😉.
      You just have to study. Also - don't think badly about yourself. Trying and failing does not make it a failure.

        Tutoring is out of the question, I think I have a good chance of getting into at least my second preference, because I have no academic competition at my current school. That sadly means i have no way to determine how smart I am compared to others. I if I continue to study hard I should at least get into nossal, (2nd pref)

        Also I saw on the Victorian website it says that a maximum of 4 percent of students can be accepted from one school into any selective school. Does this 4 percent mean like 4 percent of the total number of people who get accepted, or 4 percent of people who take the exam from my school.

          Mira284
          The 4% rule means that only 4% of kids in one year level at a school is allowed to get into any of the 4 selective schools. So if there are 200 kids in Year 8 at a school, no more than 8 students can be accepted into any selective school.

            is anyone else scared but like they dont think they can get over this until the results come out?
            the first offers come out in august right?

              I feel the same way as you. And yes - the offers for the first round come out in August. The offering process ends in October. I am more stressed than ever!

                DarkPhantomA hi guys i did the test last yr and the first round of offers come out in around September and then there should be another round of offers in november or december. so basically dont loose hope until around the 6th of december if u dont get one in september.

                    I also did it last year, but apparently the exam was changed and stuff and I don't think there is a round in December

                              Guys first round offers are apparently tmr 10 oclock im so scared

                              My son got into SC, but our preference was Nossal. For the second round consideration, do I have to decline the offer, or will he be considered even if I accept the offer?
                              Does anybody know?

                                Veer Got a response from SEHS ..it is regardless of my action (Accept or Decline) he will be offered if he is eligible. Now fingers crossed. Congratulations to all who got the first round offers and good luck to all.

                                  I didn’t receive an email but when I checked the portal I saw my offer.

                                    Yes I did. We got emails even if we didn't pass the first round. There are still more rounds though, there is still a chance. So...🤞

                                      how many rounds?

                                        Oh hi! Did you get an offer yet? From what I have heard, there are apparently 4 more rounds - So five in total counting today's.

                                            i didnt get a first round offer 🙁
                                            do you think there is a good chance i can get in through the other rounds?

                                                so my question is that if all 8 people who got offered from one school accept it will there still be second round offers given out to people from that school??
                                                please help because im rlly bummed that i didnt get first round and its always been my dream to get into these skls and since so many people want this from my skl idont even know if anyones going to decline

                                                My son received first round offer from MHS and also a scholarship interview from Haileybury. Both are good schools. We are confused which one to choose ( assuming money/fees is not a criteria for selection). Which school has the best support, cohort, teachers etc. Does anyone have an experience of both? Or can shed some light from your research or knowledge. Thanks heaps in advance.

                                                Same here 😔. Don't stress too much though, there are still 4 more rounds so there is still a good chance.
                                                If it is meant to happen, it will so don't give up hope! 😁

                                                    IZM sorry I didn’t see your message earlier.. it’s the same portal where you got your admission ticket . Thanks
