This year only the verbal test is out of 60, maths is out of 35 and so is reading, numerical is 50. So out of 60, aim to get 45-50 out of 60 to ensure the best results, usually 85% or above is a superior. Though, I can't quite prognosticate or see into the future what the cohort of year 8 students will get. Just remember you have to be n the top 11% of students so if there was 4000 kids sitting the exam which there usually are, then 440 students would get superiors.

Even though I am sitting the yr 9 test this year, I know that past papers are illegal to spread over the internet because some reason idk, but u should do some research yourself into helpful websites as there are many to suite your likings. Also, be aware that when doing my research i didn't find too many yr 10 practices but maybe that was because i was in the wrong section, idk. Anyways, look hard and hope u get in!
Thank you MMHS for that information, i really appreciate it!

the exam format is acer this year, there are 50 questions for quantitative (in 30 mins), 60 for verbal, 50ish for reading and 35-45 for maths. Most are done in 30-35mins.
How can I please purchase an exam paper. I would like maths thanks.
do you think more students are taking the exam or less compared to previous years? Is there 2000, 3000, or 5000? Just a rough estimate.
guys what does principal discretion mean? And how to get it?
bro im not gonna lie but skipping school is too far. Like they wont let you in just cuz you end up skippign your required education, to get into the school
@IDON'TGIVEUP Dont skip school. Eg.if you get a principals discretion interview the last thing you wanna say is i skipped one month of school to study.
PD is extremely competitive as about 150-200 students apply and only 15 get in
Anyone know how many questions for reading comp?
Hi! I am sitting for year9, Victoria entry in June, this year. Does anyone know if we are allowed to use erasable pens or pencils in writings and other four tests?
You have to use pen and pen only when shading in the bubbles, aswell as the writing
Ok, Thanks!
But what if you shaded the wrong answer and need to correct it?
Also, do you have any tips on how do I improve my Vocab for the Verbal reasoning area, given that less than a month is left now.
i would think that it wouldve been prudent of you too think about building your vocab at least 3 months prior, anyways there isn't much time now so maybe do online tests: If you can tell the odd one out in this series: Eccentric, flamboyant, unconventional, which of the following couldn't go with the words: Ostentatious, Outlandish, Discerning, Conspicuous, Saliant. If you are able to distinguish the words then you should be good, but then again this is only 1 example. If you also need help on maths then don't spend the whole time practicing vocab as many often are to irrational and don't ultimately know the best strategies in acquiring an expansive vocab.
Alright, Thanks a lot!
