North Sydney Girls HS: Estimated Selective Entry Score 2026
Our model estimates that a child needs a placement score of about 103.4 out of 120 (≈86%) to be competitive for North Sydney Girls HS, a girls fully selective high school. This is an estimate only — the figures below explain how it is derived and how to practise toward it.
What score does your child need?
To be in range for North Sydney Girls, aim for a practice-test average around 103.4/120. Because the selective test weights Reading, Mathematical Reasoning, Thinking Skills and Writing at 25% each, a balanced profile matters as much as a high total — a strong maths score will not offset a weak reading band. Track each section separately as you practise so you know where the gap is.
How this estimate is calculated
The NSW Department of Education has not published official minimum entry scores since 2021. To give families a usable target, we model each school's likely cutoff from the Matrix Education 2025 High School Rankings (based on 2024 HSC results): higher-performing selective schools attract higher-scoring applicants, so the placement score needed rises with rank. North Sydney Girls HS ranks #4 of the fully selective schools, which maps to an estimated 103.4/120. This is a statistical estimate, not a figure released by the school or the Department.
