Title: real Selective school test vs vic practice papers
Post by: kevmei on May 20, 2019, 07:34:34 pm
Are the vic practice papers similar to the real test? it feels like the practice is too easy and doesn't have any worded problems(i mean maths). Thanks.

No, they are way easier than the actual exams. Don't rely on them aha

It's not that hard finishing the practice paper but near impossible trying to finish the real thing within 30 mins

was this because there were a lot of worded problems in the maths or just because they were hard. Thanks

From what I remember, the practice test was a joke compared to the real test. Not only were their more worded problems, the math sections required higher level knowledge than portrayed in the practice test. Reading comprehension also had much harder vocabulary and lengthier passages.

Yep it definitely took a lot longer to read and understand the maths questions.
