Perth Modern School is the only fully selective school in Western Australia. To get into Perth Modern School, students need to sit the Academic Selective Entrance Test, which is coordinated by the Department of Education under the Gifted and Talented program.
According to the Gifted and Talented Application Guidelines 2015, the Academic Selective Entrance Test has 4 parts to it.

Hi Asma, I took the GATE test 2 years ago and managed to get into Perth Modern. Honestly the public school I went to offered no help in preparing for the test as the majority were expected to go to the local high school which was Shenton. The only aspect which I can recommend that you child work on it writing as this is the area where most people ran into trouble the rest comes more naturally in the form of reasoning
Hi Asma. Did you received the papers . Did you found them to be helpful . I'm also interested in getting them.
Hi Vi, I'm interested in getting the papers for the preparation of GATE exam this year. Dot you have preparation packs for 2017 available ?
How did you prepare for the test? What sites/materials can you recommend for preparation?

Hello Anon! Congratulations on getting in to Perth Modern. I'm gonna take the test in 2019 (for 2020). I am already bad in Writing. Anyways, how did you prepare for the test? Like what site did you use or who? Hope you can answer and help me! Like I really want to get in to Perth Modern, it sounds like a great school. Lily
I strongly recommend Exam Success. Vi's preparation made all the difference in helping our sons both get into Perth Modern. Some things to do to help pepare for the test include 1) Start at least a year in advance. Do the practice tests found at the nsw government website for academic selective tests (they are free to download and include answers). Use this as the baseline. Aim for 60-80 percent as the end result. 2) Find out where the weakeness are based on these practice tests. Draw up a schedule of work based on Exam Success's courses and what you need to work on. 3) Plan to work 1-2 hours per evening on the work and at least 3 hours each day of the weekend/holidays. 4) Do at least one novel study that includes academic vocabulary and questions/answers comprehension. It's a good idea to select a novel that you are interested in! Quiz academic vocabulary and do vocabulary building to help with reading comprehension for the test. 5) After a year of work, take the tests again and see if you have improved from the start. Again, assess any areas of weakness and work on those before the test. Do no work the last 5 days before the test and just relax or exercise, but don't stress as much as possible. Good luck!
