Selective Exam Entry Tips
Know the Format
Understand the exam structure (e.g., multiple-choice, short answer, essays).
Focus on key areas: Reading, Mathematics, and General Ability.
Practice Past Papers
Use past exam papers to get familiar with the types of questions.
Time yourself to improve speed and accuracy.
Work on Time Management
Practice answering questions quickly but accurately.
Don’t spend too much time on one question—move on if you’re stuck.
Strengthen Weak Areas
Identify areas where you struggle (maths, reading, etc.) and spend extra time on them.
Use online resources, tutoring, or study groups.
Improve Your Reading Skills
Read a variety of texts (fiction, non-fiction, articles) to improve comprehension.
Practice answering questions about what you’ve read.
Mathematics Focus
Practice mental maths and solve problems without a calculator (if allowed).
Work on algebra, geometry, and word problems, as these are commonly tested.
General Ability Prep
Work on pattern recognition, logic puzzles, and reasoning questions.
Practice IQ-style questions to boost critical thinking skills.
Stay Calm and Focused
Practice mindfulness techniques to reduce exam stress.
Get plenty of rest the night before the exam.
Check Your Work
If time allows, review your answers to avoid careless mistakes.
Stay Consistent
Study regularly instead of cramming. Consistency is key to long-term improvement.
