It's normal to feel nervous about it man, you still have a long time so chill out in the mean time
Anecdotally, I only found out I was taking an 'exam' a week before the actual test, so yeah I was shitting bricks, but I still managed to get in anyways.
relax man and study efficiently. if you know your stuff and you're a quick thinker, then you're pretty much guaranteed entry :)
all the best!!!

Wow, congrats!

tysm!! Honestly, idk if I am studying enough. I study around 1.5 hours a day but compared to other people who study for literally the whole day makes me loose all my hope. Moreover, sometimes I get lost, like idk what to do next. I go to edu-kingdom tutoring and I will be doing 2 hendersons mock exams and 2 workshops. One of my mum's friends let me use her daughters henderson booklet with which she got into macrob.
Also, in one day I do 1-2 chapters in my year 8 maths textbook and then the hendersons booklet and then some other material I have.
If you dont mind, could you please give me some tips on what to study??
-
I'm only regurgitating information that I've heard already, but just cover all of the year 9 maths and focus on reading books and writing every now and then. There is no important reason to specifically spend time on things like prefixes and suffixes, just gradually build them up from reading and writing, in contrast to memorising them from websites.

1.5 hours a day is decent, probably more than enough unless your behind your normal schoolwork as well. Once feb-March finishes, maybe 2 hours would be great then in the last month, 2.5-3 hours would be great.
That痴 just what I would do:)
-
thank you :)
Right now I am going through the lines,shapes and solids chapter in the year 8 textbook. However, there are many chapters in there and I don't know which ones to focus on more. If you could tell me what things/chapters I must know from the year 8 and 9 textbook, I would greatly appreciate it.

I知 giving the test as well, so I知 not sure. Maybe just work on the chapters that would be in the exam, eg:
Inequalities
Liner equations
Non linear equations
mx+c
Number patterns
There was a guy who said what would be in the exam, maybe check him out
The title of that thing is DETAILED Selective exam details or something like that.

maybe study on a few quadratics questions, brush up on linear stuff (maybe surds)?
I went to edukingdom from yr7-yr8 (not because it was for getting into a selective school, just to get better at my subjects), and honestly, it really wasn't that good. The homework they set up are barely even related to the stuff you were given on the exam. I have no clue about henderson tho.
How's your english man? Hope you're not neglecting it.
A really good friend of mine tried out for nhs/mhs, and he got 2 superiors for maths, but then the rest he got the ranking below average/average.

I might also get avg/below avg in all the English subjects lol

no worries man. Depends on what school you go to and how competitive it is.
someone in my year level got into nossal and she didn't get any superiors at all.
just pray you get in to at least PD
-
oh. what year did you do the test?
My english in my opinion is probably above average but there i plenty of room for improvement. In edu-kingdom, for the writing tasks, i usually get in the 80s out of 100.
I am trying for SCHS.
However, my preference list is SCHS, MACROB, NHS.
tysm for your help

I tried out in 2014. Looks like you're smashing English, which is definitely good.
How quick of a thinker are you? I remember the numerical reasoning was terribly difficult and required a lot of time.
Maybe work on your nerves as well if you get anxious during testing
-
I guess I am not that quick at thinking. Sometimes, as soon as I look at a number pattern, I immediately recognise the pattern but sometimes it takes me forever. I guess I could improve with more practice.
In the math trial tests I usually get 35+/60, numeric 30+/50, verbal (35+/60), reading (38+/50).
Recently, I have been getting 41 and 42 out of 50 for reading comprehension :)
