Hi all, I am currently a year 8 student in the SEAL program. I really want get into Melbourne High school. Is there any tips or tricks that anyone can offer, as well as any materials that anyone wants to share? Anything would be appreciated, and I am willing to supply some of my ow materials as return for some new materials. Thanks.

    ReyanSuccessfulSelectiveAplicant I did the test last year and got into Suzanne Cory HS, Ofc didn't accept but the test was pretty tensed as there were a lot of long as paragraphs for maths and NR. NO Point studying parabolas ect. Just focus on really wordy questions in Math and NR. VR and RC are the easiest but you have to do exceptionally well to get the top brackets.

        Trust bro, use your own textbook from school (extended response questions) as practise questions, None of that linear, parabola, Pythagoras theorem B.S. will be on the test. For RC is pretty simple, just find the answers in the texts which aren't too long. Definitely wouldn't recommend JAC for tutoring. DISCLAIMER: EDUTEST IS NOTHING LIKE ACER. VR is the hardest to get a superior in as the test is extremely simple. (Still Hard). NR is pretty awful and unpredictable. I mostly studied from JAC. Recommend Hendersons, EVEN EDU KINGDOM IS CRAP. Hope this helps

          Hello, sorry for the late reply,
          Here are some free tests that I used to help me prepare: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1CxivEbKwO6AvUfgqoQLocLk1mLCuyIoq

          *Please note that due to the selective test company change to ACER, majority of the material for the mathematics tests are outdated, so I can’t guarantee you that everything there is relevant. However, I highly recommend the verbal reasoning and reading comp tests as they are helpful and are still similar to the actual new test format.

                Hi, Ik ive replied to a few of your questions in other threads but yeah. So, how many kids approx are taking the test in ur school? If most are boys like 70% then maybe u may have a higher chance though I'm not sure. For both co-ed schools the percentage chance remains the same but for both MHS and Macrob idk. If u provide me with more info on the amount of kids in ur school and how many are taking it then i could help further

                  there are 360 kids in my grade levels

                  so far i know that 7 kids are taking it but im not sure how many others are?
