Attention, 8th Graders! Preliminary results of the small maturity exam arrive on June 27th, and the real drama kicks off on July 1st and 2nd – filling out your high school wish list! This isn’t just a piece of paper; it’s your ticket to the future. Don’t know how to do it right? Here are ten key tips to help you avoid a catastrophic mistake and not end up without a school in the first enrollment round.
Why is the wish list more important than the test? The small maturity exam is done, scores are in, but the real battle is just beginning. Filling out the wish list is like putting together a puzzle – you need to know what you want and how to get it. The order of schools on your list is crucial! The school you want the most must be first, and it’s recommended to fill all 20 spots because leaving blanks risks missing out on your desired school.
Mistakes parents and students make Parents often think a school is just a school, but it’s not! One school can have multiple educational profiles, each with its own number of seats and point threshold. If you don’t know how many points are needed for a certain program, you might be surprised – this year, for example, some schools raised their threshold by 0.2 points! If you don’t list the desired program, you can’t get in, even if you have enough points.
What if you don’t get into a school in the first round? The second and third rounds are like a backup exit, but points hardly matter there. You get placed where there are free spots, regardless of your success. So if you’re lazy or careless when filling out the list, you might end up in a school you didn’t even want.
How is enrollment scored? You can earn up to 100 points – 60 from your primary school grades (6th, 7th, and 8th grade) and 40 from the small maturity exam. So it’s important to know your points and realistically assess your chances for your desired schools.
Important dates you must not forget
- June 27: preliminary results
- June 30: final results
- July 1 and 2: filling out the wish list
Missing these dates or making a mistake can cost you dearly!
Where and how to fill out the list? You can do it online at the “My High School” website or directly at your school. But don’t wait until the last minute and don’t do it without thinking.
Conclusion Filling out the wish list is not just a formality; it’s a key step that can decide your future. So, 8th graders, don’t make stupid mistakes! Get informed, ask questions, plan, and fill out the list carefully. Your future is in your hands – don’t throw it away because of carelessness.
So, have you already filled out your wish list? Or are you waiting to see what happens? Share your experience or fears in the comments – maybe your story will save someone’s school!
