Now that the exams are finally over, how did everyone go?

Definitely harder than I thought, personally felt like I did pretty good in writing and reading comprehension, but needed to guess like 10-15 questions in the other modules. Overall, pretty trash tho lol
okok i stuffed up literally everything
verbal- did like the first 20 then went to guessing
numerical- same with verbal
writing- finished this one in 10 mins ( i prayed for creative)
reading- finished exactly in time, surprisingly pretty easy
math- no joke did 10 questions and then went to guessing (i had given up at this point)
so i think i got 3 low averages and 2 highs or aboves
not jinxing anything but probably flunked it

Honestly the exam went the same for me except for maths I probably done alright at that.

Oh My Gosh,

So relieved to read that Maths was hard for everyone, I thought I stuffed it up, having prepared so hard for Maths, had to guess like 20 questions, what are we meant to know at this level, I mean we are grade 8 students for God Sake !!

Fingers crossed !!

hey guys congrats on completing the test and I hope you all make it into the schools you're aiming for! just saying, even if you don't think you did well, you might be pleasantly surprised  :D When I did the test I guessed 40+ questions in maths (all c) and managed to get superior, so don't stress yourselves out too much.  :)

Uh do you think it's bad if you guessed be instead of c

The answers for the tests will change every year of course, so if you're lucky most of the answers will be B. There's no way of knowing whether guessing B or C is better, but B and C are normally the 2 best options to go for so don't stress  :)

Do y’all remember that last question on maths with the 3D parabola thing? Did anyone actually know how to do that?
I just guessed (obviously)

one more thing. if you aren’t feeling confident that you’ll make it in be sure to start preparing for next year if you really want to make it in. I suggest participating in A LOT of co curricular stuff so it looks good on your application. and also try really hard in one particular thing and try making state because then you’ll make it in ez

I didnt do it but a girl near me did and she seemed pretty confident abt the maths, she probably got like 50/60

woah i can't believe the exam is over already !! tbh i was not nervous for some weird reason like i was literally prepared to fail lol

verbal: i think i did alright but i got pissed because there was no live timer so whenever the lady (she seemed done especially during break lmao) called out 5 minutes i would rush and guess the rest. im pretty sure i circled all c but otherwise... hopefully not an average but possibly.

numerical: oKAY so i don't know if you guys saw but a guy literally pissed himself and i wasted like 20 seconds wondering what we was doing because he was calling for a teacher until...yeah that was great. numerical was ehh think i did terrible but time is literally an ass:

writing: oh my god it was creative. the prompt was interesting to say the least and i had come up with such a good storyline but never got to do it oopsie.

BREAK: the toilet line was so long omg

reading comp: easiest of them all in my opinion. didnt guess any and finished with like 4 minutes to spare so im quite happy.

mathematics: this hated me and i hated it. wtf was on the test?? i guessed like more than 3/4 of the test which is shiet but yeeeee. im honestly surprised that there was no Pythagorus' theorem? i studied so much on that but there was n0thing.

They come out August 8, but dont be disheartened if you dont get accepted first round bc they usually just pick people with like 3 or 4 superiors and over
