How competitive is Auburn Girls HS?

Entry is moderate — Auburn Girls HS is less contested than the fully-selective schools while still offering a selective stream. With around 30 places offered each year, places are allocated by placement score, not a fixed mark. There is no published cut-off: the effective threshold floats each year with the strength of the applicant pool and the number of places. How selective scores really work →

The Selective Placement Test for Auburn Girls HS

Entry to Auburn Girls HS is decided by the one statewide NSW Selective High School Placement Test (sat in Year 6), made up of four equally-weighted components:

Reading — 45 minutes — comprehension and interpretation across several text types.
Mathematical Reasoning — 40 minutes — applied problem-solving, not curriculum recall.
Thinking Skills — 40 minutes — logic, deduction and critical reasoning.
Writing — 30 minutes — one typed response, assessed on ideas and control of language.

The Thinking Skills section is the least familiar to most students — see how to prepare for it. Key dates are on the placement timeline.
