chxin i got 4 averages and 1 below average, made it into mhs 5th round (also did principals discretion). my tip is to cherry pick questions

Chessisthebest

chxin a random tip I would recommend to you would be interpreting the prompts from a diff view point, for creative that is. In the 2024 exam, our prompt was a image of a person sitting in a cinema theatre. I took the prompt quite literally and included a segment of the charecters in my story going inside a movie theatre. My friend on the other hand, had interpreted the movie theatre as a stage, and had also set the perspective of the main charecter as a student, making it somewhat relative for the markers ig in a way?? Anyways main point is having a unique perspective of the prompt helps (she got a top 10% and I got a top 20%) .btw my scores were top 10% for maths and reading comp and the rest were top 20%

Edit: I yapped A LOTT 💀💀 but anywayss

Despite mine being not the best and not the worst (Bengali Camel Dont Flame) My english skills are pretty much mirrored as to what I do at school, i always try my best at school, and it pays off, and my maths doesn't mirror so well, coz I'm equally as good with maths as eng at school, i think i may have needed to work on maths more frequently for the test, nonetheless, i hope to cook BengaliCamel in mhs. Nah I'm joking i just want to be top 10 kids in yr 9 next year, and get 99.95 atar, and get into med school Melbourne Uni

TIPS===

mastering time management ()by doing timed practice tests) is crucial. Im pretty sure you have less than a minute per question, so you shouldn't waste 5 minutes working out a super hard question but then getting it wrong anyways
increase your vocab (ask youtube or ai)
DONT STRESS EXAM DAY
not about the test, but make sure your preference list is accurate, I('m-pretty-sure-I)'ve heard of people getting the same scores but one of them not getting in because their preference list was different

chxin Yeah its not about the area much, mainly how good your own school cohort is and how many of them are doing the sehs test
