  • Selective School 2024 Exam(tips and Questions)

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?

Thanks,

    Hi! Sorry I might not be much of a help as Iā€™m doing the exam this year as well, but for verbal reasoning if your having trouble with it look at the root of the word. For quantitative Iā€™m also struggling on but usually just do a bunch of number patterns šŸ™‚ good luck!!

    Thanks for the help šŸ™‚

    sui Hiiii I did the test last yr but didn't get in, honestly it's quite chill. I think they modified it and made it easier than the edu. I forgot alot of it but the mathematics test only had 35 questions, Reading comp didn't have alot either. However, expect more questions on verbal and quantitative. Expect alot of vocab questions on the verbal. For quantitative there was a fair amount of number patterns and js like basic numerical reasoning stuff, but I think it was less mathematics more reasoning. For writing, you get a narrative prompt and a persuasive prompt at the same time, with 40mins in total, your expected to write them both, so time management is important because u dint wanna leave one to the very last minute. For narrative the prompt we got was js a picture of a boy looking at stars and that's it. Persuasive we had to write about space travel and they gave a decent amount of statistics on the prompt page. Hope this helped šŸ˜ I recommend u to try doing some acer tests and writing on any prompt u can find online.
