I am not sure but I don't think it's 5% of the people trying out from your school. I think it's 5% of ALL the year 8s in your school. So if you have 200 students in year 8, only 10 can get in. If 5 are trying out then all 5 of them might get in. Not sure but that's what I believe!

Logical reasoning for the thing I just said lol: If only 5 people were trying out from your school..then 5% of that would be 0.25 and it's not possible that none of the students can get in and therefore it makes more sense to me that 5% of all year 8s in your school can only get in.

Yep that's correct but, not all 5 ill make it cause if someone's performance is below standard, then thney won't make it.

ureba:
Yeah, that's why I said it might be a possibility that all 5 would get in meaning no one would need to worry about being cut because of the 5% rule :)

Selective User:
I am getting so nervous now lol, only 6 days left, and now I'm getting serious doubts because of the PD-5% thing and seeing that some people got good scores... BTW the tests were different on both days I think because on Saturday people guessed over 20 and on Sunday people guessed only 5 or so for the maths tests, some kids at my tuition who got really low scores did well in the test

Lots of kids from my school sat, a good number dropped out before the test.
Numerical =  :'( abysmal. I was prepared Maths was going to be bad but that one was worse.
Verbal was doable. Same for Reading. I was bummed they cut the written test.
What did you think?
