What is the difference between year 9 and year 10 (entry) selective school exam?

I'll be sitting the MHS year 10 entrance exam. Anybody else trying for MHS year 10 :D?

Just curious is there an great fluctuation in the difficulty?  Any tips or advice?

Thanks

Hey, I might be trying out for the Year 10 entry as well. As far as I know, they still have written tests, but once you pass that, there is a much bigger emphasis on co-curricular activities.

But anyway, good luck! :)

:)  you too! Might happen to see you there :P. Just worried as I have no clue if the test will be extremely difficult compared to last year

Essentially the same, but It's obviously a bit more advanced.

and as mentioned, Co-curricular activities are crucial, especially if you're trying out for Nossal and MHS.
