Is it not? Also as far as I know it is not just for mother tongue and Mathematics any more, but covers all the sections and there is a good weightage for English too. (I know this because some years before my niece was saying she could score 100% in English, but lost marks in other sections) Please correct me if I am wrong.

The best students are already in the elite national or international schools and they don't sit this scholarship exam. Mastering Sinhala/Tamil and algebra doesn't make you smart.
