when you say test results, do you mean from the mock tests??? if yes, do y'all get a rough prediction grade??? dksksks i'm curious as to how it works in america :>>
          
          we have a few sets of papers!! ie for pure science, we have 3 sets: practical, open-ended, and multiple choice! people usually bank it all on the multiple choice papers since it's easier to score marks, but then again the percentage weightage for all 3 papers are different (practical is 20% i think, open-ended is 50%, and multiple choice is 30%). combined science has 2 papers! pure humanities papers have two sets (if i'm not wrong but i'm not v sure cuz i didn't take pure humanities :")) ) and combined humanities have one paper!
          
          yeah i understand! i think there's 2 ends to the spectrum but i rly hope they find a common ground in the middle to effectively judge the applicants instead of just accepting them bc of their talent/academics when they're applying :(:(
          
          we usually use the mock test scores as rough gauges but usually they're not a very accurate estimate since the bell curve is applied on the actual exam (so let's say you don't pass on your mock math paper (so a D to a F grade), but if the kids taking the same exam are mostly bad at math, there's a chance you can still pass the actual exam. vice versa if you get a super high A on your mock math paper but the other kids taking the paper are rly good at math, chances are you'll probably get a high C or low B in your paper if you're not as skilled as them). but sometimes mock tests are so hard that kids end up rly going insane over it and they rly can't take the national exams or they commit suicide (there's a case where a girl from an elite school did that because she failed one of her subjects).

our acceptance is also based on the actual score too! usually if you're qualified (after applying through the early admissions course), the college will offer you a spot in their next intake, but sometimes kids just slack off and not meet the college requirement and end up messing up the exam so they don't get it. but it's usually quite hard to not meet the requirements (for academic colleges) unless you're rly messing up your answers on purpose or you didn't even try studying.
