It really depends on how other students did compared to u, and ur school.
If ur in a school with a lot of smart people and a large amount of people are doing it, then it's gonna be more challenging, and vice versa
If u get majority of the questions right, like 70-80%, then most likely you will get a sup. But it really depends on how other people did in the test.
But idk i just did the exam last year.
And im in suzanne its pretty chill

If you don't mid me asking, how many superiors did you get?

Hey guys!
I am currently in year 8 and applying to sit the Victoria Selective Schools Exam for both MHS and SCHS.

I am preparing with hendersons and north shore mock exams, I was wondering if anyone who sat the
exam, and completed the mock exams, can tell me their scores for each section of the mock examination and
real exam? So I have something to compare with.
Here are my mock exam results:
Numerical: 70%
Verbal:65%
Mathematics:80%
Reading:64%
Persuasive: 93%
What do you think I would've scored on the actual test?
And what do you think is the minimum percentage to earn a superior?
Any comments/answers will be greatly appreciated.  ;D


To give you an example; I've known people who made it into MHS with 2 superiors and others who missed out with 4 superiors. As already mentioned above, the school where you currently attend comes into play, and the cohort of students that you will be competing with on the day will be important too. Just aim to do your best :)
