Placement test at future highschool!

Today, four of my peers and I attended the AGGS placement test to determine what class we will be in for English and Mathematics.

There were numerous girls in the auditorium, they were quite intimidating. We went through the subjects we were going to take and made a few changes to the languages we were going to learn. Afterwards we were split into three large groups. My group was first to do the mathematics test. I've got to admit, I was quite nervous and I know the other girls were too! I soon realized that the test was like the P.A.T maths test we had at school, which impacted on how I felt towards the test, confident.

Forty-five minutes later, the girls and I were escorted to the cafeteria to have a bite to eat before leaving to do our final test. The English test was simple, we had to write a description about one of the 6 prompts that we were given. At first, it was nerve wracking but like any amazing author, great ideas just came flowing out of my mind. I was astonished at how much I had written about the Great Manor in thirty minutes. I did my best and hope I get selected to be in a high standard class where my writing can accelerate and gradually become better.

The placement test was my first whiff of college. Making new friends, exams, periods and the teachers. I'm very nervous to go to college therefore I know I will have five adventurous years attending Auckland Girls Grammar School.
