Yeah I go to a private tutor

Guys, your parents would've probably just received an email from the department. The exam has been delayed and you can request for a refund and withdraw from the exam.

To prepare for the exam I go to JAC and a private tutor. How are you keeping up at JAC?

Pretty good, I usually get around 80-85% on the tests so I'm coping well I think

Do you know what percentage ranks as a high average, above average or superior?

It depends on how well everyone else does. If the average score was 60 percent and you got 60 percent you would be average. You can't really determine if you'll get in or not, because everyone else's score effects yours.
I think superior is like top 10%
Above is the 10% below
And High is the section below that

Yep thank you. I think you would've gotten a superior.

To safely score a superior in the actual exam I recommend 90%+ every week

Is it just me though, or has JAC been slack with there simulation exams lately?
Too many typos imo.

Yep, like 2 weeks ago the practice test had these yellow sticky notes on them that would give you the answer. Are you applying for year 9 entry?
