The scores seem to vary a lot and that is very surprising.
I just have a few questions :)
1. I go to a grammar school so how much superiors approx do i need to get a offer into Suzanne Cory or MacRob (around 15-20 ppl trying out aprox. I think)
2. If you get 2 superiors for maybe reading comprehension and numerical reasoning, HA for 2 and then 1 AA or A , does that stand a good chance? Or maybe 1 superior, 3 HA and 1 A?
3. Does anyone that got in last year have any tips for me? Basically tricks and how to not stress lol cause I would probably stress out heaps on the day.
Thanks

The more competitive the school, the harder it is to get a spot.
Usually private schools are regarded as 'good' schools, so the judges who mark your tests look at how good your school is, and will determine if you get a place.
For reference, I had a good friend who went to Scotch College, and he got 5 superiors but didn't get in, whereas I went to a pretty low scoring school and I got in with only 1 superior (it was also competitive).
My tip for exam day is to not always look at the clock. You're wasting a bit of time every time you look. I'd probably look every 10 questions done to see where I'm heading to.
