Anyone else sitting Suzanne Cory for year9 2025

MMHS

Hello again! So, my mistake I got higher in persuasive which means we were literally the opposite. Yeah, i'm also pretty upset with my math but it's numerical that killed me. That's also probably the reason why I got middle. I have these panic issues, so i'm really trying to just meditate and focus on staying calm during tests. For preferences I put Suzanne first followed by MHS and nossal. Just saying, i'm not the fastest when it comes to quick calculations, but the cricket averages are quite easy. It is more the tricky worded problems for me. Hope we get in!

That's 100% me! I don't know what happens to me, i just become a statue and my brain goes blank and this never happens at home (of course, timed) but as you said at a site with hundreds of other students flooding all around. For numerical, it was a complete surprise because i am more better in maths as compared to english but in this N.R, I got the worst scores... If I get this for N.R then i am gone..

So you did the James an mock test. What were results if you did it?

Hi Miio! So, I'm not really sure if we are allowed to share questions from the mock exam... but why not. Here's a few example questions from a couple subjects.

For math we had a few simple and straightforward algebra questions like:

Find the value of (2 ÷ √16 - 2 ÷ 2√9)
Solve for x in 3²(x-3) = 81
Make x the subject for (2x-4y)/x = 1

Verbal:

Choose the closest synonym for the following word:
Annihilated
A. Dismembered
B. Reduced
С. Destroyed
D. Split
E. None of these

If STOCK is coded as NPLAJ the code for Price is
A. KNFAD
B. OQHBD
C. NKDAF
D. FKDAN
E. None of these

I'm not sure if that was too helpful, bc most of the problems were very lengthy and I couldn't bother typing them (especially numerical and reading). But that's an example of a few questions on the easier side. Good luck! As there is literally 19 days left and counting.

What!! Sup for maths, what was your score, jeez you must be good. Did you find the track question hard or easy. I got a high average so you must be good. High avg for numerical, above for vr, high for creative, sup for persuasive and high reading. lol lots of high. Overall got above. I needed to go to the toilet as well during the writing but i managed to finish with ten mins to go and went after which was good. Ive got a few tips for persuasive. First, improve your vocabulary as this helped heaps with mine as I got a 5 for my vocab part of writing criteria. Secondly, include a rebuttal as I added this in my mock test piece and pulled it off well. Key to writing a good rebuttal would be to come up with a sound idea and then make sure to refute it again within rebuttal, one thing a lot of people forget to do. Thirdly, this will vary person to person, but do a lot of research on topics that not many people would study on, these can be found in newspapers and news articles as for this weeks simulation (Sim 2), I came up with a good few ideas for why i though rural life was better. I found it helpful knowing a lot of prior information and this helped me strengthen my point. So yeah, include VERY high standard vocab, structure it in a way that suites you ( I just stick to the normal 2 paras for/ against then my rebuttal), and don't spend too much time on planning if time management is an issue. For the actual time management aspect, don't get distracted by what others are doing in the test and only focus on yourself, try write fast (obviously) and go into the test with an open mind. Do you mind sharing any maths advice on how you understood the questions and get great scores for math, because currently, the questions themselves aren't the issue but rather time management and just not recognising the 'types' of questions in the heat of the moment.
