Questions on Melbourne High Selective School Exam

 Hey Guys!
I've been wondering if James An College Trial Tests are similar or easier than the real Selective School test. I usually get Superiors and whatever it is directly below superior, but I'm not sure how hard it is in comparison to the real test.
Also:
-> What are examiners looking for in a writing test
-> Is there anything else you have to know other than Trig?

no idea about James Ann though I've heard that most tutoring tests are harder than the actual exam. not sure though, but if youre getting superiors that's a great sign!
in the writing persuasive test, remember that it's not so much what you say but HOW YOU SAY IT. namely: FOLLOW THE STRUCTURE. this is the most important thing. as long as you visibly show that you know how to structure your essay, and make some decent points, you'll be fine.
for the creative, you need to BE creative. think of something outside of the box, something unique that will make you stand out from the rest. also, use a lot of really illustrious language and show off your vocabulary.
i dont actually remember the content of the maths test (whew that was a year ago haha) but it'll just be your basic year 8 and 9 maths. the questions on the maths test aren't that hard, it's just there's a lot of them, so make sure you can identify how to solve the problem and do it quickly!! just a tip: sometimes it's easier to substitute the answer into the question. :)
if you have any more questions, please ask!!! i'm happy to help :)

bro. i did all the practise tests on the website and got 50 - 60% on all of them. Ended up getting 4 superiors. If ur getting superiors in ur JAC tests youll be fine come the actual test. best of luck.
