mate told the principal that he was the 2nd best rugby player in sri lanka, and got in. Got a decent 97/98 ATAR too, so somewhat made a contribution to the median anyway :)

LOL!!! (Who?)

Well, I know this kid who got in, he wasn't the brightest in the class(probably just above the middle) and he got in the year 10 one. I'm guessing because of his co-curricular activities(Sports, Music, Leadership etc.).

Also, I know another guy who got in the top 5%(i don't remember but it was very high) in the Maths part but low in English, and he didn't get in.

Top 5% wasn't on there.. I don't think? If this is the year 10 results from edutest.

Superior is top 1%, high above average is like 17% and above average is like 33% and then it's average.

That makes FatnessFirst and I completely wrong then 0.o?
W.e, I'm pretty sure from memory it was 1%... either way; a superior is still superior.

Could still be Top 11% in Year 9, either way it sounds like it was easier for me, I think they were looking for people that were good at both English and Maths to some extent, I got two Top 11%'s, one in each, and the other grades weren't great
sometimes I feel as if I'd be more enriched in life if I bought an RV and started cooking meth

ye superior is top 11%, above average is 12%, high average 17% and average is 20%. its been like that for the past 3 yrs for all i know.and im pretty sure 2 superiors or more is usually enough to get you in - i think. i know someone who got one superior and got in WITHOUT the principle discretion thingy :D depends on overall markee i guess

Who's the state fencer in our school?

Congratulations though!

C'est moi~

In any case, you could try the other selective schools for year 10 entry; John Monash, Nossal, etc.
