Victorian Selective Entry High Schools 2024 - Results!

MHSNERDD

:):

.. What kind of test papers did u practice with? Hendersons? Also did VR had more vocab questions or logic based ones. Because I suck at vocab and those logic ones r the only ones i rely on in VR.
umm, if possible can u or anyone just tell how u studied and practiced overall for the english part of the exam and can u roughly estimate what scores we should aim for in henderson tests (RC and VR) to get a good score in the actual exam.

..

:): Anyway to answer your question I believe VR had more logic based questions, cus the vocab on the test was hard. Btw I can't really help u with writing cus I didn't do a single practice essay(bad idea, writing was my lowest score) 💀 For Rc I just read more complex literature, did tests, reflected on why I got a question wrong and how to improve, and did some speed reading practice time to time. For VR I jus did tests and memorized vocabulary from different vocab books cus I was good at them already. For henderson tests I don't know if they are harder or easier now, but try to get 50+/60 in VR and 40+/50 in RC to ensure sup. When I did some James an tests my friend gave me last year I averaged 50/60 on VR and 35/50 on RC 💀 only got into the 40s/50 for RC one week before the test.

:): mb if this isnt relevant but ive done hendersons for sehs and ngl it wasnt too helpful ( most of the rescources in the workshops were from free websites online or the material were better for the edutest format)., Tbh I would rather go to Jac as the rescources they give you are hard, so it prepares you for the exam better. Hendersons was lwk easy for some workshops like maths and RC. But if you really want to go I would reccomend going to The writing, VR and NR workshops. Hopefully this helps n feel free to ask any questsions if u hv any.

:):

.. ohk thanks, but i still dont understand how you got an above average for writing without doing any practice essays, that's some serious dark magic lol

:):

𝖉𝖍𝖗𝖚𝖛𝖎❦ wait u just said that henderson was better for the edutest format and the year 10 entry to SCHS is also edutest, so isn't that a good thing? also, i am not going to any workshops, i am just doing papers that someone sent here on the page last year... But thanks, this helped me a lot, also is there any specific way that u study for VR and memorise vocab? The thing which is happening now is the same thing which happened to me last year and i am stuck on cramming words but i keep on forgetting them...

:): I did hendersons for year 9 entry and didnt get in so thats y i said it wasnt too useful, and I think its better for edutest then acer js cs all the stuff they provided was way too easy for acer format tests. So yea potentially the material they gave me for year 9 entry I could use it for yr 10 but, then again I found it not too useful. For VR I would recommend practicing the "1100 words everyone needs to know" book, cs it gives you 5 new words everyday to memorise and it gives you a few exercises to memorise those words. Since your doing practice tests, if you find any words in the VR tests js practice those n read alot of books or js search up "hard reading comprehension worksheets/ articles" and js read those and memorise meanings of the words u don't know. I used a website last year it was https://www.indiabix.com/verbal-ability/questions-and-answers/ But it has alot of aptitude resources so rlly good for NR and VR. Hendersons also gave us huge lists prefixes and suffixes so if we come across a word we dont know in the exam we can use the prefixes and suffixes to help us so def do that. Lastly theres this book I think i got it from amazon but its the R.S. AGGARWAL books for Verbal & Non-verbal reasoning, I would def recommend these books they r rlly good (kinda hard but worth it) they have tons of prac questions ( I think its like 5000+) Its so so good for NR and also VR. He also has some for quantative and english i think. They have great explanations and theres this guy on youtube who goes through all the chapters (it feels like an online class) These books are def worth the hype, you could prolly find an online pdf but I personally love these. Sorry this is so long omg but hopefully this helps!

:):

𝖉𝖍𝖗𝖚𝖛𝖎❦ alright, i would try and find these bookss, 🙂

chxin

𝖉𝖍𝖗𝖚𝖛𝖎❦ what book for RS Aggarwal, for vr and non vr cus im gonna buy it but theres like 500 different types

𝖉𝖍𝖗𝖚𝖛𝖎❦

chxin I have like 3 of his books but for VR I use " A Modern approach to Verbal & Non-Verbal reasoning " this is good for verbal and NR. For Maths I use " Quantative aptitude" this is amazing for maths, problem solving and NR. And for reading comprehension I use "Objective General english".

..

MMHS I heard the reason Yall don't have food studies is cuz the buildings are too old to build a kitchen to do food studies in. But I heard it a long time ago so it may be wrong.

chxin

.. mhs has newer buildings such as the ches building which they can build it in or also the renovated classrooms , however they chose not to, and what does a schools age got to do with it having a kitchen or not?? Like theres a school that was established in like the 1800s and they have food tech with creaky old buildings

..

chxin yo mb if I offended you, good point tho. Maybe MHS thinks food tech is a waste.

chxin

i mean im not offended but cus mhs has alot of kids which parents push them to there hardest and are normally asian or indian there parents are normally wanting to go them to become doctors,lawyers,scientist etc. So if they did introdouce food tech litreally no one would take or maybe one or two people which would be a waste of money.{IM NOT TRYING TO BE RACIST ITS TRUE LIKE 60% IS ASIAN AND LIKE 40% IS INDIAN}

DV78

chxin ye u make a good point

..

chxin Bro they have photography, theatre, viscom and media as electives. Absolutely no one is gonna do those subjects as there career but they take it as a elective because they can enjoy those subjects as a recreational thing. Food tech is in the same category, but maybe there are too many electives already for food tech to be available.

Dosanjh (NHS/SCHS)

chxin Yeah I can definitely agree in selective school mainly Nossal and MHS there are about 40% to 50% are Indians and then there is 35% other Asian's and the remaining 15% are Aussies (Etc.) BTW I'm not trying to be racist.

MMHS

.. yes the point you make is very true, not all schools will have food tech, though many do. MHS aims to build the whole person, and won't allow you just to study for 10 hours a day, get an award for academics and think you are the greatest. A prerequisite to be able to graduate from the school is that you have to be able to swim a certain level, this is a) beneficial for health, and b) an important life skill. They also have PE classes until year 12, and i think you have to undertake at least 2 co-curric, however i may be wrong about how many you must do.

chxin

there to many electives

DV78

Dosanjh (NHS/SCHS) not even that many aussies,i went on a tousr to schs recently and there was just indians and asians there was like on white girl but that it, i aint tryna discriminate

n1khilNossal

[deleted] TECHNICALLY but idk why people call east asians asians and most people some times consider brown people indians

Random_Person_You_Happen_To_Be_Encountering_Now

[deleted] THAT IS WHAT I ALWAYS SAY

and at this point I have way too much to say about this
but I will try to be brief

I think it is because East Asia is more popular in other parts of the world due to anime, Chinese food, etc whereas people only know India because of spices, loud Indian music and curry😭 when that should absolutely not be the case
could also be because India is almost like an entirely different continent (the Indian subcontinent, anyone?) when compared with the rest of Asia. Or yk, people are just in ignorance.

MMHS

Random_Person_You_Happen_To_Be_Encountering_Now people just regard asians as the 'stereotypical' chinese asian

a📀

Random_Person_You_Happen_To_Be_Encountering_Now yeah fr but i think it’s cuz more brown people go to sehs than other asians so they became their own category
