Ask me questions about Mac.Rob!
- Edited
liiilie (from a person who made nossal with 3 top 10s and 2 top 20s this is my recommendation) even though others didnt recommend jac, i do as it was personally very similar in rc, nr, and vr and also it was done in real test settings making you familiar for the real day, it also gave u the best bang for your buck as edu kingdom is horrible and hendersons is good but extremely expensive.
yo guys are the practise tests on the acer website actually similar to the test or are they easier

hi, i have done the test this year and got a spot into macrob 1st round. Similar to you, my strong suits were maths, numerical reasoning and vr. I think VR is easy as long as you have a very extensive vocabularly. I would reccomend having a word book where you learn a few days words every day (or every week). This will alow you to build your vocab which will not only assist you to build you vocab but also help you in the writing component of the test. For writing, I believe that everyone can write in their own styles but scoring high requires using high vocab, sticking to the prompt, being unique (creative) with your ideas. Ideally you want to give some sort of orginality so that the accessors do not compare your piece with others and rank yours low. For writing daily/weekly practice is crucial to get a hang of writing within the 20 minutes time frame and generating ideas on the spot. The prompts itself wont be to diffiuclt but its more of how you interpret it and generate quick and creative ideas. For RC (which is my weakest subject), the main advice i can give you is to do lots of RC. This requires getting some sort of tutoring for practice, doing worksheets online or purchasing books online or borrow RC books from the library. These strategies will assist you to develop better RC skills and be prepared for the test. Also, you got to be mentally prepared to the fact that there will be a variety of texts like poems, non-fiction, reviews, graphs, fiction, comics, reviews etc. You will need to read a variety of genres to grasp and understand how to interpret texts. To achieve all this I wouolod highly reccomend tutoring. Many people call James An useless; however, i strongly believe James An tends to give you a good insight into how the overall test is structured. I think VR and writing are almost identical to the actual test. I also went to melbourne tutorials which helped me to develop vital skills to ace the exam.
i have also heard hendersons is good but expensive as some people have states b4. Feel free to ask any other questions
MauryanBroski Thats what I thought about tutor, my writing are not really good and vocabulary are a bit off. But currently actually live in another state and we are moving to Melburn next year. My parents don't agree with the tutoring and told me it's useless ( well still I'm gonna give my best shottt, Good luck to anyone whose sitting the exam next year

liiilie if ur vocab is no good, grab yiurself a copy of 1100 word you need to know.
do you guys have any rc resources because its one of my weakest subjects and i would like to improve it before it becomes a problem in the future
