Quote from the use Hannibal whose suggested the main points:
Year 8:
- Simplifying (10x+2y+4x+3y)
- Standard Equations with no Surds (3x=4x+2(3+2))
- Inequalities (3x+2>5)
- Linear Equations (y=mx+c)
- Expanding ((6+x)(4+2))
- Basic Factorising (6x+3=3(2x+1))
-Surds
Year 9:
- Simultaneous Equations (2x+4=y, 2x+18=22)
- Quadratic Equations (y=ax^2+bx+c) [There's a few variations]
- Factorising Trinomials (x^2+4x+4=(x+2)^2)
- Perfect Squares ((x+2)^2)
- Difference of Perfect Squares ((x+2)(x-2))
Year 10:
- Quadratic Formula
- Completing the Square

how many people would attend the nossal year 10 exam? Is there an interview after the exam? also when would you get your test results and when would you be notified that you got into nossal.

oo, I know them all quite well. Trig, pythagoras and ratios would be good to know as well. Does everyone get an interview or is there a cutoff mark? I am worried about the verbal reasoning and reading comprehension! :-\ I think there is like 100-300 people trying, according to figures last year. :-\ 10 get in right? Good Luck everyone! Do your best!! ;D

I'm assuming that the people who missed out on a spot by a few marks gets an interview with the principal. Don't worry, I'm sure you'll do fine. For Reading Comprehension, read the questions first so you know what to find in the text. Lastly, verbal reasoning is quite difficult, but try drawing a diagram in your head and crossing off the wrong answers until you're left with the right one. ^^
