Melbourne High School entrance exam

Hello.

I'm trying out for Melbourne High next year. How smart do I need to be to get it? What type of questions will I get? What subjects do they mainly focus on? What do I need to know and study to get in?

Any other tips? Please help!

If there's any advice/tips I would give... have a good look at the thread on this board. You're bound to find information on the topics for selective school exams since most are the same (E.g Mac.Rob/MHS/JMSS [for maths]) ad it hasn't changed drastically over the years so to speak. so just have a look through there for nifty tips from previous members who have also been in your current situation.

I guess one thing I would stress really would be to have the right mindset for the exam. Not really tested in schools since well... it's not really applicable as such but if you know that you get nervous/anxious during pressure events (such as this)... you might want to start preparing yourself mentally for the exam. Don't let the MHS exam be a life/death situation. Don't put any unnecessary stress on you because you're thinking of it like that. If you think you can do the exam without any hiccups or are feeling slightly positive then you've already won half the battle (hypothetically speaking).

Good luck and to you both (Arnav & Abhi231 :)))
