  • TIPS FOR 2025 STUDENTS DOOING VICTORIAN SELECTIVE ENTERY

um so im actually an overseas student so i dont think i can get tutoring irl🙁
im sensitive to words and im pretty good at english but my math is REALLY bad. i barely pass my tests even though i study. ofc maybe i just needed more time to practice but still. im so scared for the math part of the tests i feel like im cooked💀💀 anyone got suggestions on how to improve math quick???? WANNA GET MACROB SO BAD AAAAAAAAAAA

    a📀
    Do a practice year 9/10 test covering most math topics
    See what type of questions you got wrong
    Practice those questions
    (???)(idek)

        a📀 But I think if you get top scores for English and get above avg/high avg for Maths, then you might have a chance

        You probably have heard this before many times but just practice ig
        Maybe just do the entirety of the Year 9 syllabus from a text book
        I have the IBMYP ones if you need them (online)

            Sejal damn but i thought the acer test didn’t include anything above year 8 math ?? my year 8 term has started already so i’m already learning year 8 math

                a📀 I mean yes but it will be more challenging i.e. the content won't exceed Year 8 maths but it will be more towards problem solving but just in case do the year 9 textbooks?

                    a📀 Do you have a form of communication other than Atar Notes? (I'm unable to upload it here)

                        Like I did practice questions from Olympiad books and stuff and brought year 8/9/10 math books and I actually got into Macrob so... just do it.

                          Sejal so like the question format will be like year 9 but the content is year 8??

                              a📀 kind of yes
                              they will be worded differently

                                a month later

                                Can someone pls tell me what types of questions specifically were on the test last year in math

                                        Hey guys study this words list cuz all of the words from the exam was on this list: https://img.sparknotes.com/content/testprep/pdf/sat.vocab.pdf
                                        Maths is application based less content so practice solving worded problems over learning content (learn simultaneous equations), quantitative is maths puzzles, reading is more interpretation based so use logic, verbal is also logic based but they ask for syllogisms and questions like words in context and the best and worst arguments for certain opinions

                                          BengaliCamel Personally, simply revising a bunch of words in a word bank is not very efficient way to learn. My strategy is to Read a book, Highlight good words, write down their definition, synonyms, antonyms. Then, once i've got around 6-10 words, I would put them in a paragraph. After this ill start with a new bunch of words and repeat the cycle again. Make sure to go over the old words as spaced repetition is good.
