I think 26-30 spots were available for year 10 entry 2025, around 400ish tried out for it. I barely remember anything from my writing prompt, only that it was a narrative, had a quote and two pictures we had to implement in the story. One picture had a locomotive moving over a valley and the other picture was two individuals with raincoats and backpacks walking with their backs only shown, the quote had something to do with mystery of the unknown or something. They don't expects a specific word count, but they just want a solid and detailed story. In my opinion I would aim for 400-500 words. There are some new topics in the math test, but it was very small amount, and they were basic year 10 topics not complex. Majority of the math test was easy algebra, the main thing that messed people up for the test was prob time management.
