Where do you live, and where are you hoping to apply?
The information for Bucks (for those who applied through Buckinghamshire) is on the website, for example here. There is also information about waiting lists here. The Buckinghamshire Council website really is very good and has lots of information available in a very clear format.
For other schools in other areas you will need to speak to the local council or the school (which area did you apply through?).

I think you need to speak to Berkshire to see how to go about this, as you will have applied through them - different authorities do things in different ways. I don't think you will be able to stay on the waiting list for more than 6 schools (also see Bucks' information about changing preferences).
Have you been allocated a school?
I know it's too late this year, but for people reading this thread in the future, the advice is to always include one school on the CAF that you are absolutely sure of getting & will be reasonably happy with.

Just if anyone is interested, The Wycombe high waiting list has moved by 1, Becky high by 10. So not a lot of movement.

It doesn't necessarily mean that 1 person & 10 people respectively have been offered places (although of course they may have been) - in between allocations people can be added to & leave the waiting list so even if your position changes by 1 or 10 it doesn't really tell you.
People also seem to be being offered more than one place from waiting lists, so some of the recent places offered won't be taken.
