Hi somebody8442,
Thanks for your reply, it helped me understand a lot more! BTW I go to Kambrya College, which has a bit of SEAL, but isn't a renowned private school or something similar. When you say that the questions in numerical and verbal were relatively easy, are they like the material at north shore or harder? I also agree with you when you say that James An is good with all the tests except for verbal reasoning.  I have, in fact, bought a mock test from hendersons but it is scheduled 2 weeks before the actual exam. Maths does sound a bit hard and contains a lot of topics, and what score do you think will get you a superior there if it is as hard as the one in your year? I heard you can even get a superior in maths with only 30/60. Were the passages relatively short for reading comp and was numerical mainly patterns?

Hi JZou276,
Thanks for your reply. I go to Kambrya as I said before, it's not very competitive but about 70 people are trying out, of which only 16 or so will get in. Do you think James an has accurate tests?

hi I'm not entirely sure if it is accurate, but I definitely think there will be aspects of the test in the real one. The main thing with these tuitions that give practice tests is to essentially replicate the exam environment. So that you are more comfortable when sitting the test and know what to expect.

Well, aim for 60/60 as it's the best you can get. Don't worry about scores and just go for it. I remember worrying about these back when I did the test but in reality, it doesn't matter unless you do your best. I would say that completing 40 questions is a good aim and 50 is really good if you are confident. In previous years, people finished 20 or so questions and got a superior so it depends on the difficulty of the question paper. For maths in my year, I would say a 30 would get a superior. Your school might be competitive so you may need three superiors. Again, don't worry as this stuff is not as important as you think it is.
