if ur parents dont allow u to a school 14km away then surely not one that's nearly 30kms but u never know ig

    Hey y'all,
    I didn't get in this year.. but i'm moving on with a positive attitude! (Or at least, that is what i am trying to do.)
    I'm already preparing hard for SEHS next year, and am prudent of the mistakes I have previously made. Such as, not practicing vocabulary or doing enough mock tests to gain a feel of the actual test. I personally believe that doing more mock tests can really help, as they simulate the exam under time pressure. No wonder I was sweating my ass off in the actual exam. I got BA in reading comprehension, so that's the area I am focusing on the most. And I got averages in all other subjects apart from writing where I got top 20%. I definitely think that building a proper study routine enhances and improves the chances of your overall success. Because rather than relying on pure motivation to study, (which lacks clarity and consistency) you build a concrete plan of action, which you will follow each day. But regardless of my thoughts, do what works best for you! And I hope you all succeed in your paths and please give me and others like me some tips!

      GY Hey GY, I actually self studied for the most part.. so not much tuition tips there. I'm aiming for either Melbourne high or Suzanne next year because most of my friends went there, but I really want to go to Suzanne. What school are you going for? (if you are doing it). For tips, I know from experience that it is extremely beneficial to practice vocab around this time before the test (which i didn't do last year). Also, keep practicing tests and material you think you struggle with, build a concrete plan and routine of what and how you are going to study each day and since this is year 10 entry they're going to check your extracurriculars. So, make sure to do something outside of studying. Personally, I am signing up for cadets, and I am extremely good at cross country as I placed second in my cohort (but second isn't good enough.. jk). I also play the piano and chess. All these tips are things I didn't think about last year when studying, and now that I have been mindful enough to start implementing these into my day, I can already feel a difference. The most important thing though, is to do what feels best to you. So study hard!

          At last i am back and trying to get over the fact that i didn't get selected this year but just like @"PotatoSinghThe3rd" i am applying for SEHS year 10 entry next year. This year i didn't get in because of my RC and VR (both b.a) so i am trying to focus on that only and bits on writing. But i still cant improve my RC.. i keep on getting the same marks no matter how many mock tests i do. Worst part is I don't even know where i am going wrong. Soooo, if anyone of u have any advice or literally anything on how i improve my RC and VR, it would be really appreciated.

              Interested
              I think i'm gonna try as i am very interested in the field of science but its actually far from where i live so idk yet. Still my first motive is to get in SEHS in yr 10. r u applying JMSS tho?
