City Habs Boys Entrance Results Comparison
Posted: Thu Jan 28, 2016 1:03 pm
My son got a rejection from City yesterday and is a bit disappointed. I'm not exactly sure what went wrong. I know we took our foot off the accelerator after the Habs exam and let him relax a bit for the week in between the exams. He was a bit off on the morning of the exam and struggled on a couple of maths questions which he probably could have done better on on another day. However, he did think he pulled it back on the English.
Looking at his rankings from City and assuming approx 700 candidates,he seemed to be in top quarter for English, just lower than top third for Maths and top 40% for reasoning which obviously wasn't good enough for an interview.
He was certainly a lot happier after the Habs exam, especially the Maths and Reasoning and also enjoyed the Habs interview. I am just a bit worried now that given the City rankings, maybe he didn't rank as highly as he thought in the Habs exam which maybe reflected in the overall outcome.
Anyone else in a similar situation or have any knowledge of the comparison of entrance exam results or interview percentage between City and Habs?
As I mentioned, he may have just had a bad day for the City exam but this letter has left me a bit paranoid now for results day.
