MMHS ye so i reckon your first pref is suzanne second mhs so i reckon to get a spot and offer for suzanne you would need 2-3 superiors and if 4 people from your school try out that means that only 1 get sin right

      Not necesscarily. So, according to the 4% rule, only 4% of students from one school can get accepted, meaning, if everyone got all superiors, they could only take 4% of them, thus ruling out the other kids. Do i have a higher chance of getting in, maybe, i don't know, but the thing is I still have to perform well to get in. Also, keep in mind, its not definite that getting 2-3 sups will get me in because it all depends on the cohort, because its the top 11% of kids get the superior meaning if the average for the math test for example is like 20/35 because it was hard, then if I get a 30, I will get that superior, same thing if the average is 4/35 for arguments sake. If everyone in my school gets superiors then everyone is almost guaranteed to get in bc there if 260 kids in my cohort meaning that around 10 kids could get in MAX.

          MMHS wait so if i have around 250 kids in my cohort and 7 of us try out because i didnt try out for high achievers bc i forgot but all my friends didnt forget does that mean if only 8 people try out and we all get good marks theres a chance that we all might get in

              whats high achievers? Also yes if you all do well then you should all get in i think

                  MMHS high achievers is like an accelerated class that studies subjects 1 year ahead so if you are in year 8 you study year 9 and i made a dumb mistake not doing the test for it

                      Oh, alr,yeah being in an accelerated class shouldn't have any impact on the overall marking scheme bc i find that unfair. I hope it doesn't affect it.

                          MMHS ye ik but they kind of have an advantage but idk because i know their teacher because she knows i wanna join nossal so she just sends me their work

                              Ronaldo if you are in a high school, only 4% maximum people who tried out from your cohort get in and if you are in a p-9 school its 10%. Correct me if i am wrong but i think thats how it works.

                                  No it is not as it is 4% of your school's year 8 cohort (regardless of the number of people who did the exam) and for p-9 schools it is 10% of your school's year 8 cohort also (regardless of the number of people who did the exam).

                                    Other33 so what ur saying is how ever people in my cohort only 4 percent can get in well that’s good cause I have a large cohort with only 7 people trying

                                        I was also wondering if I should change my preferences as a lot of people in my school are putting mhs first preference and that is what I currently have. I live really close schs and I was wondering if any of you guys could give me some info onto which school is better.

                                          Other33 im not lying mhs you will need four superiors if that isnt a reach for u go for it but i would put schs as first preference bc of the higher chance u get in and put mhs second

                                            Hi everyone, so just curious what would be the minimum score needed as in estimate to get into NHS?
