    THIS IS FROM THE BOOK THAT SAYS ALL INFO

    1. Eligibility criteria
      2.1 Eligibility
      To be eligible to apply for and attend a Selective Entry High School, students must be in their
      second year of secondary schooling or its equivalent (usually Year 8), have not previously sat the
      examination for Year 9 entry, and be:
      • an Australian citizen, or
      • a New Zealand citizen residing in Australia, or
      • holders of a visa or ImmiCard, which would exempt them from paying International Student
      Fees to attend a Victorian government school (for further information, refer to International
      Student Visa Fee Table at: www.study.vic.gov.au/en/Pages/school-accreditation.aspx and
      the ImmiCard section of the Department of Immigration and Border Protection’s website at:
      www.border.gov.au/Trav/Refu/Immi, or
      • able to meet the above criteria by the time the offers process commences.
      Students attending government and non-government schools, as well as home-schooled students,
      are eligible to apply.
      The above eligibility criteria apply to students living in Victoria, as well as those living and studying
      interstate or overseas. More information for students living interstate/overseas can be found in
      section 5.
      Fee-paying international students enrolled in Victorian schools are not eligible to apply.

      trinh Ooo, are there any other tests that ACER makes (scholarship tests, school tests or any type) since I will try to find them online as it’s better than nothing 😭

          chxin Thank youuu for the info I have already inquired about it and their response was that I was automatically eligible since I had an Australian passport and place of residence in Victoria 😁

            chxin Could you share where to contact him please 🙏

              a📀 Omggg where are you applying from, I have to apply from Indonesia since my parents are government workers assigned here 😭

                    Alp🏔️ im from hong kong!!!

                        a📀 Ooo do you know any additional revision material that you could share through like email or anything cause I've been scrolling some other forums and they're quite limited 😭

                          Alp🏔️

                          1. The only sort of disadvantage would be (i assume) is if the country you are applying from is competitive as the acer website says that interstate and overseas applicants are grouped into regions in which the 4% rule applies

                          3. Here is some general advice on how to handle the exam:
                            -In the multiple choice tests, scan all the question in the pages that are open and solve the ones that you can, then move to the next set of pages and repeat. Once you get to the end of the booklet, repeat the process by solving the next set of questions you can.
                            -When there is 5 minutes left, shade all the unanswered questions with a guess and then answer the unanswered questions.
                            -There will be a timer going off to indicate that there is 5 minutes left (the invigilator will announce it), so don’t panic when you hear the timer go off for the first time

                              Alp🏔️ you can use free resources by studying the test like using online free resources or if you do have a printer you can print some of the SEHS worksheets and replicate a similar format to the test.

                                Alp🏔️ it is a bit difficult and i can relate to that but you can study the format of the test and research practice questions and mock tests related to the exam, it will definitely give you an idea of what the test will be like and what it contains.
                                Don't lose hope many people have gotten into an SEHS school with free resources because even if you made it or not, you wouldn't have anything to lose.
                                Just try your best and believe in yourself anything is possible.
