Selective high schools: record number compete for places
March 14, 2014
Alexandra Smith, Rachel Browne
A record number of NSW children sat for the selective schools placement test on Thursday: 13,930 children are in contention for 4188 spots.
They grappled with questions about codes, patterns, percentages and the meaning of words in the exam which tests mathematics, general ability, reading and writing.
There were smiles of relief outside Sydney Secondary College, Leichhardt Campus, which was the test centre for nine schools in Sydney's inner west.
Year 6 students from Annandale Public School found the 2½-hour exam challenging but fair.
Evie Hickson, of Leichhardt, found the general ability section the hardest but described doing the exam as a good experience.
Her friend Sarah Brine, of Annandale, agreed that the general ability component was the most challenging part of the test.
''It was stressful, knowing that you had a time limit,'' she said.
''You had to be very quick in the general ability part because you had to answer 60 questions in 40 minutes and some of the questions were quite hard to work out.''
Daniel Jones, from Annandale, found the mathematics section the trickiest, but sailed through reading.
''I liked the reading the most. I used a lot of descriptive language so I probably aced it,'' he said.
Families will find out in July whether or not they have been accepted into one of the state's 47 fully or partially selective public schools.
Competition for the 4188 places has grown in recent years, selective government schools comprising seven of the 10 top-performing schools in last year's HSC.
