Common mistakes parents make
Misconceptions we hear most often about this school
Passing a selective test is not the same as being guaranteed an offer.
Qualifying as selective-eligible is only the first hurdle. Final allocation depends on oversubscription criteria, and distance from the school is frequently the deciding factor.
Third-party 'pass marks' may not reflect final offer levels or waiting-list movement.
Parents often assume the highest scorers get priority. In practice, once a child meets the selective threshold, proximity to the school can matter more than raw score.
