Average, high average and low average. The low average was a big let down. What did you all get?

Average on science reasoning
 High Average on everything else

surprised I even got an interview offer but I ain't complaining.

Edit: Also I felt really good about my writing piece, so that may have been a major contributing factor.

All superiors, although I thought the test was slightly hard when I took it.

A low average was my downfall, otherwise I should have got an interview.

So does that mean I will 100% fail? Is there late offers?

1 above average for reading comprehension and 3 superiors for the rest.
Btw who managed to finish the reading comprehension? It was basically impossible because of the lengthy essays and time restrictions, I 50/50 guessed 10 questions after skimming the essay.

Hey everyone!
I did the EBS test and got an interview which is next Tuesday at 1:30 for me. I have a couple of questions for past students. Is it a group interview and then 1 on 1 and if it is what happens in the group interview and how big are the groups. Also I'm a bit stressing out because I have no idea what EI topic to do and I've heard they ask you that in the interview. I know I want to do something to with chemistry but I just don't know what. Any help with that? And anyone know who the teachers that interview are, I go to Uni High so I might know them. Finally I've heard knowing facts about Bio21 and other science facilities nearby is good so anyone know some good ones and how to utilize them in the interview?

Thanks :)
Ali

Are you currently in year 11 or year 10 bc I think it varies for each different year levels like JMSS.

Yes, the writing is what determines whether you get an interview or not since it is marked by EBS themselves instead of EduTest.

Please do not lose hope, you can always try out for year 12 entry entry into EBS next year. Yes, I believe they send out second round offers if people reject the interview invitations.
