lowk is it worth it to try for the exam. im overseas and currently go to a great school with pretty good “social status” and great friends so there aren’t any problems that are encouraging me to leave my current school. however, the final exam in hk (where i am now) for when ur in year 12 is extremely hard especially the chinese paper
so i guess i would prefer ib over hkdse. if i try out and get in macrob, i’ll have to move to melb by myself and live with my parent’s friends. i’m also concerned that i’ll be under average by a lot compared to the cohort if i get in and i won’t find friends that get me like my friends now do, since macrob is very academic focused. so idk lol can y’all give ur opinion :3
Victoria sehs test 2026
i’ve been studying for the test already but there’s a lot going on at school and idk if i can balance it and my tests at school because i can’t just give up on them, i don’t have guaranteed entry or smth
a
if u think it is better for u, than js do the exam, i think it is worth trying though so definetly atleast try.
a do u have time to study at home?? if so how long?????? maybe spend like 2 hrs studying for school and then 2 hrs studying for school tests and vice versa.
MHS potential candidate not really tbh normal school day i get home at about 5 so there’s enough time for 4 hrs studying but i have 3 days when i get home at like 7:30 so there’s no time
a i think you should do it if its better for you academically and socially. and you shouldnt be worried about making new friends as a lot of the cohort share common interests and heritage. personally at the bare minimum i would try, it doesnt hurt
a oh, ur school seems to be pretty far. u have time to study at school??
a WAIT IS IT GAOKOA !!!!!! 
oh wait... sorry mb hong kong is a different country. BUT STILL THAT'S REALLY HARD. I mean currently your schooling life sounds great but in the end it might fall poorly(not saying you aren't smart enough its just the stress might get to you). coming to Australia might be a good choice but there are a lot of adjustments to make, its good tho that you already know where to live and speak fluent english. idk about the getting friends part, maybe ask @i_need_mental_asylum or @Random_Person_You_Happen_To_Be_Encountering_Now for advice? They both go macrob this year.
hi guys, does anyone know about how many people from one school can get into a selective school? around 65% of the people in my grade are applying for macrobertson.
.iza 4 percent of people trying out i think
MHS potential candidate 4 percent of the whole year 8 cohort, you cant js have 4% of 10 people can you
asianasen nah but in that case i think there would be 1, wouldn't there? or i misunderstood what what the rule was
MHS potential candidate so only (maximum) 4% of the whole year 8 cohort will be able to get in
if there are 200 people, only a maximum of 8 people are able to enter a sehs (if not p-12), the p-12 schools have a higher percentage i kinda forgot how much was it
im gonna sleep now, so ill reply tmrw if possible, gn peeps
asianasen cya bye!!
MHS potential candidate oh ok thanks
MHS potential candidate nor rlly lmao cuz it’s always noisy and earphones aren’t allowed
a This is just my personal experience since I moved from the Indonesian to the Australian Curriculum in G4, I originally moved to Hurstville PS and I have to say that the culture and vibes from people here is wayyyy different from a typical school in indonesia. Usually kids in AU are more loud and extroverted so if you are a social person its much easier to find new friends 
. I'm not sure if this applies to you too but the materials were much much easier in AU since I had learnt the same material from a year before so don't worry about not being able to catch up.
