Please send me these weekly I have a selective exam coming up and I dont know how to study for it

Just keep on practicing ur head off untl the selective exam, make sure to time yourself too so u could do questions faster, and also read lots of ur books that you've got at home.

Would love to see more tips

Hi Shikha, will probably put out more more tips in the next few weeks or so about little short cuts students can do to help them best use their time. Will be sending it out in the next newsletter :-)

I have the selective test coming up soon and there is so much pressure. I literally feel like I'm not improving whatsoever. I was great at English and terrible at math but now I'm bad at both! What do I do! It's in 2.5 months!

Hey Cdance, I know you might feel a lot of pressure and that's normal - students do feel stressed coming up to it. The most important thing is to focus on the task at hand and try your best on the day. While doing well in the test will help you secure a place in a selective school, remember that schooling is only one part of life and the school you go to does not determine what you can achieve for the rest of your life. That's up to you. For example, a girl I used to know is now working in the US at Google (she didn't go to a selective school, nor did she get the high scores needed to get into a prestigious university). Thanks for taking the time to comment and I wish you all the best in your upcoming test Cdance!

Hey Lizzie! Yep - I'd agree with all of that! :-) Especially reading heaps of books.

How do I tryout for more than one selective school, Is it all at the same time for each school, or can I decide which day or which time I can sit the exam. Thank you so much.

OMG IM FREAKIN OUT MY TEST IS IN A FEW DAYS SO IM STUDYING HARD PS THANKS FOR THE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In 6 months I am entering the selective test, but I don't know how to 'Study"... Because when I "do" I get distracted and do stuff that does not relate to it.

Hi, I’m a nearly year 6 student in Perth studying for the selective school test as it’s in 13 weeks. Academically, I get around 4 A’s and the rest B’s, i’ve been doing some practice tests online and have been getting 18 out of 20 for general ability, reading and write pretty good narratives and persuasives but for maths I get as an average, 12 out of 20 which was unexpected because I always get A’s on it. Would all of the things I’m doing be good enough to get into Perth Modern?

Hey, I’m in yr 6 now! And the test is in 2 months . . .

Help!!! The test is legit in one week! I hope to get into James Ruse or Hornsby Girls, my dad is going to kill me if I get into Gosford! How can I improve my reading? My marks are very high for the others but I always flunk English!

OMG! The test is in three days! I'm not actually nervous surprisingly, I really want to become a doctor when I'm older but my mum says if I don't get into James Ruse then I'll not have a big chance of becoming one. Are there any tips on improving my English marks? Especially Reading.

LOL! Peeps try to get into selective, just saying the test is really easy like as long as you do good in the GA you'll get in alright. Maths is super easy, English is the same as Pre Uni and writing was easy but you guys might get a different mark.

**** ohh my gash the test Is after tommprow 2018 in the house brahh and undies

I’m so scared Test is tomorrow help meeeeee......is the test really hard??

I have one tomorrow

ya but mines tomorrow

same here

Good job!! Hope you’re liking high school

That’s nice ,but the highest ever is 255 so it is hard to believe you...

That’s fine Ella. Even I do that sometimes but practice is the key, so just practice every day an I bet you’ll get into Hurlstone with flying colors.. Don’t give up. 🙂

Just practice your struggles and don’t get distracted.... I bet you’ll pass with flying colours... I am doing the test tomorrow too, but because I’ve practiced and studied, I am not stressed....

Hi, Just try and concentrate on reading and understand the text.... If you need, look at the questions first and then read the text so you can find the answers in one go... Good Luck!

Don’t worry, and I have left some feedback on your other comment

Guys, Don’t worry!! It is okay, we will do great.. Don’t stress!!

I was just searching on tips for practicing and preparing for Selective, then I find this! I definitely think this will help me because I have about a couple of months less than a year to practice (I'm in year 5). I am really nervous to! Most of my year 6 friends go in and they said it was really hard. I hope this will help. THANKS!

Hey Everyone! This website looks quite old but I just want to say, it's nice to put tips here, as it's helping a lot of people. Thank you for the tips. They helped me a lot. Tomorrow's my exam, you know. I just hope everything will be fine.

You know you can also look at other webs or click into the links on this web if you didn't.My selective test is also tomorrow. It said on the permission note (you need to hand one in otherwise they wont allow you in) that there is no need to practise on the day before the exam just to let you know. But if you have like a month left I recommend you to study if you haven't studied yet. It's helpful if others read this too! I'm nervous myself, but that won't do you any good in the test. I'm pretty sure you're not the only on nervous, so much others (as you can see on this website) are nervous and so much other people sitting the test are too. :)

My test is (as some people already saw) is tomorrow. I have went to tutoring to, I'm lucky I'm above average. But not enough for Fort St, sad life.
