i wouldnt really stress out too much for the essays; if you do well on the other 4 aspects of the exam then you should be alright
that is if your year level at school has nobody but you attempting the exam or if the ones that are attempting it are a bunch of retards
i know a guy who didnt get any superiors and he got in because his old school had no one else try out

pi:
Might be worth having a look at these threads too:

I know many people with superiors in the 4 other sections and only top 17%s in written, they didn't get in. They look for all-rounders.

+1, if thats the case, then don't stress too much!

Would it be that easier if I go to the test without anyone from my school? Because I am the only one going to take the exam at my school and i think probably the only one in the whole town. (I live in Ballarat lol so no one even knows about the school there). Also, do you know any topics that has already been used for the analytical essay?
the ones i know that has already been used are:
should public transport be free
is google map good (or something)
and something about cloning

When I did the analytical part, I'm pretty sure it was on Kevin Rudd and his views/ideas on broadband access across Australia. I'm not 100% sure to be honest.

A good tip: I'd be reading newspapers (online if you want) for the most current issues/news with the Australian government etc.
It would be a good idea because most of the analytical topics come from current issues.

taiga:
Back in my day it was whether or not we should make transport free.

I think "should we introduce an internet filter" or something along the lines of that might be good.

If you like you can write a practice essay, post it in the English boards (clearly stating that it is a MHS entrance test) and I will mark it for you. (others may help too!)
