Selective School Exam (Victoria)
Hello!! I’m sitting the exam this year as well, I was wondering what stuff to revise for numerical reasoning, I’m really struggling with it right now!!
Hey guys, I was just wondering how many questions out of 60 should you aim for to get a superior.
Good luck to anyone sitting the exam this year!
Hello, I am going to sit in the test for Year 10 entry too. Would anyone be able to share the past exam materials here? Thanks.
Hi guys,
So, I am a Year 8 student going to sit the Year 9 sehs exam with only a month left until the tests date. I was wondering if anyone who has completed the test in acer format has any tips or any idea of what to expect in the test. I was also wondering if you had any websites or links that help with quantative and maths that help broaden your concepts and well as keep you under pressure (maybe like timed tests)?Also if the 4% rule of the numebr of students to get accepted is applied, and majority of the candidates are boys but you are trying to get into Macrob, is there a better chance with less girls to compete with?pls respond asap cause im deperrate
Thanks,

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!
should I go this month to school since there is less time
MMHS

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?
