              Hi guys, I've been using the Deroza tests for practise but found some of the questions too straightfoward and formulaic whereas in my tuition, the questions (especially maths) are very wordy and take time to understand. So i was wondering whether the deroza tests are similar to the actual exam or not?

                Miio omg yay!! so glad this makes things a little bit better for me 😆

                  ikr most of them are just straight up maths, but in James an where i go, its way more lengthy and involves higher order thinking

                    This slow countdown is worrying me.. I'm actually even more worried that during the test i'll be too scared and just freeze and malfunction than my abilities..😭

                      Melona ⭐ I know!! I would freeze during the tests and end up solving nothing 😭

                          Miio Ahh it's so stressful righttt?? I wish u the greatest luck during during preparation and the test 😭🙏we can do it haha

                              hey guys,can everyone pls check out my new discussion page,called SELECTIVE EXAM FORMULAS

                              would rlly appreciate it cause i wanna make sure im good in maths

                              Hey guys i'm pretty weak in creative writing so was wondering if u have any tips on how to improve?

                                anisha If you have any good (and hopefully willing) english tutors/teachers, try writing some pieces in a timed environment and sending them over for advice/tips!
                                As for things you can do by yourself, try work on idea generation by taking inspiration off other sources of like content/media (movies, tv shows, books, etc) but not too heavily

                                Make sure you have a good structure/plan, like how you'll sort the story out. Flow/timing is very important and it's ideal to go into the right amount of depth while not making it extremely complicated
                                I've been told it's good to include a moral/message/connection to a real world problem or something similar, just to make your story more advanced and therefore grant you higher marks

                                Wishing you the best of luck!!
