Last minute tips for the selective school exams

[Servillian]

Yeah, actual testing time is 3 hours total but the time you're there comes up to about 6 (iirc) due to breaks, collection of papers in between, waiting outside beforehand, filing in people in, finding seats etc. At least that's how things went when I did the test.

That's a long time O.o
Are we allowed to bring books?
Also when did you take the exam?

Good luck to everybody going for the Selective School Exam, anybody sitting near me? My seat is 1184 and I'm entering Gate 3, anybody else?

No, no books. And no bags as well. You'll get kicked out for cheating.

Hm...
What about pencil cases?
Also my mother told me told me that I have to bring everything in a clear plastic bag. Is this true?

Yeah, everything in a clear pencil case or a clear plastic bag. I think you'll also have to bring food in clear plastic bag and waterbottle without any labels on.

I believe we get our results via email on August 9 2018.

i was thinking of bringing my water inside a metallic drink bottle, and it is a Pusheen(has pictures of a cartoon cats on it) one that is my sisters. Guess i can just bring a plastic one worth no labels, although it weren't be as cool.

me, but not Hendersons or JAC. I went to JAC in Year 5 for something else tho and it was so useless to me, personally.

i guess i might be able to see you guys at the doors since i'm also door 3, but the only problem is.... i don't know what you guys look like.

I went to JAC since last year for this exam. Btw guys, you know how it says to bring your Exam number, would that just be the email with the paper of ur seat number and stuff printed out?

[cloudyy]

I don't think even if we know what each others look like, we won't be even able to spot each other as there's like 4000 ppl overall this year I hardly think I'm gonna find my irl friends as well oh rip

Yep the ENTIRE document printed out. I think there's 5 pages in total? Also don't forget to bring your photo ID!

I went to JAC when I was like 9.. all we did was go over the homework they gave us.
I went to Hendersons for the exam and it was pretty good I guess.

So a passport, the entire 5 page printout, pencils pens ect, water + food and some motivation is all I need to bring?

[cloudyy]

My hand's so shaky oh god lol how am I going to manage my VCE exam in Year 12 like this?

I'm bringing earplugs as well, apparently it's VERY noisy in there as there are 4000 people coughing sneezing dragging chair etc. I hardly think it's necessary though. And some warm clothes.
