Absolute horror...3000+ went for the exam this morning ..to get into the 4 selective schools in Victoria..this year 2 more schools opened..thus if they take in 200 each ..would roughly equate to 1 in 4 chance..
I took her early..we got there around 1045am..they had to assemble outside the allocated doors by 1130am with their photo IDs..clear plastic bags with only the necessities..no calculators..only 2B pencils, pens, eraser, sharpener..a snack and clear drink bottle..everything else was provided..
by 1110am people already moved closer to the doors..the speakerphones were not loud enough for the crowd that gathered..parents, siblings..the examinee themselves..
we were like sardines..I had to really listen to see if it was her turn to go in..it was lucky I'd registered her early..she was the second lot to go in..even then she had to excuse me and weave through the whole sea of people..some inconsiderate enough not to make way...
it is all done now..asked her how she went..she said she did okie.. she told us she overheard one of the girls told her parents she didn't know the answers to a few.in VN.. con khong biet..only to be asked by her dad..tai sao khong biet ??
she also told us her cousin and her niece was there...her cousin was there because her parents made her..she said she loves her school..but she felt if she doesn't get into this school her parents won't be too pleased..
I am glad S went for it because she wanted to ..not because of us..she really wants it bad..fingers crossed and hope she gets in...she's just like me..once she gets it she gets it..but if she doesn't get it it is like butting your head against a brick wall..lol..
