Thx. So can you tell me what else I need to practice for my maths? I really want to get into Suzanne Cory or MHS, so yeah.

Maybe do some 'similar triangle' and basic circle geometry questions. Those don't require a calculator so they might test you on it. When I did the test, I remember some similar triangle questions that essentially involved ratios.

Thx, I'll try doing that. Do you guys know what to study for algebra? Easily my weakest link when it comes to maths. Some sites would also be nice.

Algebra is a broad area of Maths, here is a mixture of stuff from Years 8-10:
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))
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
[Insert more stuff here :P]

That's more than enough. Remember the emphasis is placed on problem solving and 'non-routine' questions to differentiate even the best students.
