Yep. Read the part in my previous post where I said I got in
StudyFREAK:
Would I get into MHS with these scores:
Maths: Sup
Writing: Sup
Verbal Reasoning: HA
Numerical Reasoning: AA
Reading Comprehension: A
These aren't really my scores, I was just wondering whether I would get in, especially with the new writing system.
If you are wondering, I go to a grammar school and I think like 5-8 people are participating.

Hello StudyFREAK
I got in with four superiors but a friend of mine got in with 2 superiors and a below average in the writings. Although he didn't get a first round offer but he did get an offer a few months later.
I hope this helped. :)

Hi guys, I did it last year. As far as I know:
You need to get over two hurdles: your overall mark needs to reach a certain minimum (varies year to year) and you also need to be better than some of the exam-goers from your school (if there are more than 5% of the year level sitting the exam). The first hurdle is not too bad and the second greatly depends on the school.
As someone already said, two Sups are not necessarily better than a sup and a AA: like, 90 + 90 vs 99 + 88.
As such, questions asking about how a certain result would fare will NOT have accurate / meaningful answers.
For argument sake, if a school has a yr8 cohort of 100, while six students sat the selective school exam and all scored 6 Sups - then there would be someone missing out even with 6 sups.
Of course, in most real world scenarios things are not so extreme at all. The common consensus on this sub (at least from what I read) was multiple S and AA while without any A were good marks.
There could be gender difference as well. I think there are considerable more boy places than girls, though there were also more boys applying / sitting the exam. Maybe overall it is still favouriting boys? >:( >:( >:(
