I know right! 2 weeks is so close, i'm just relying on my writing and maths at this point.
Anyone else sitting Suzanne Cory for year9 2025

Me too! The first question for maths which was about the mid point just seemed too hard but when I looked back that was probably one of the easiest ones. I found finding the equation of a parabola quite easy as well as all of them were different

Same! Honestly, I messed up the mock test. I remember skipping both the mid point and race track questions. But now that I attempt them, they are not that difficult. For verbal and math I got high average, reading average, persuasive above average and creative superior. I'm just really upset about my numerical.. I got low average 
. But overall I probably would have got high average if I did not screw up numerical. Congrats on the above average by the way!

Heyy thanks! You must be great at writing. Im not sure how you got middle, one of my friends got less than that and got higher. Math i got high as well and verbal got above. Mine was almost opposite for writing, higher creative and superior persuasive. Same, I skipped race track, although it was a bit timetaking
Im quite upset with my math though i could've gotten at least 65

idk abt you but I finsihed both writing pieces with 10 mins to spare so I was just looking at everyone writing away lol. I got up to go to the toilet and realised how large the james an company is honestly, around 900 kids attend and that ,means james an students take up about 20-30% of all students who take the exam!
Now that I think about it, how did you get middle, you should've gotten above as well bc we had similar scores
also, what was your preference order? mine was MHS, Suzanne and nossal i didn't put coz of the distance and travel time
also i find factorising and finding the value of x questions to be particularly easy and so i usually whizz through them, hence why i found the parabola question easy
Oh yeah and simulation was quite easy, writing was quite easy, math was surprisingly easy too, and luckily i fracticed my fractional powers that same day because there was that one question on fractional powers that ik a lot of people got wrong. verbal easy as always, reading was also easy and quantitative was fairly easy apart from a few timetaking ones.
PotatoSinghThe3rd Same!! My maths and both writings are consistently getting above or superiors but like numerical is … dog water

for numerical, I remember a question about the average of cricket scores for the mock test, I find these rlly easy and usually answer them first. U?

Hello again! So, my mistake I got higher in persuasive which means we were literally the opposite. Yeah, i'm also pretty upset with my math but it's numerical that killed me. That's also probably the reason why I got middle. I have these panic issues, so i'm really trying to just meditate and focus on staying calm during tests. For preferences I put Suzanne first followed by MHS and nossal. Just saying, i'm not the fastest when it comes to quick calculations, but the cricket averages are quite easy. It is more the tricky worded problems for me. Hope we get in!
Haha, yeah. I can 100% relate, i'm fairly upset with my math though. But we can do this!

Yeah same like on the mock test I just went in a state of 'dumbness' i guess for just maths lol. Just make sure that you keep practicing at home under TIMED conditions as this is the best way to get rid of that stress/panic
PotatoSinghThe3rd
Yes I agree 100%
I can definitely associate with the state of 'dumbness', that's the worst part for me. If that happens during the actual test.. i'm a goner. I'm just trying really hard NOT to freeze. And yes, practising under timed conditions, as always. For me it just feels so different when I am taking test at a site, like with other people. Bc i'm not really used to that. Anyway, good luck!

That's 100% me! I don't know what happens to me, i just become a statue and my brain goes blank and this never happens at home (of course, timed) but as you said at a site with hundreds of other students flooding all around. For numerical, it was a complete surprise because i am more better in maths as compared to english but in this N.R, I got the worst scores... If I get this for N.R then i am gone..
I am honestly really mad at myself for N.R because i got so much into solving the puzzles at the start of the test that i completely lost track of time and ended up randomly filling up the bubbles for the worded questions in the middle that i would have actually scored on...
Anyways, Good luck to everyone!
It is soooo nearrrrr alreadyyy!!!
