Questions about the Selective Entry Exam

Hi Everyone! :)

I know there have been many of these type of messages latley and I wondering if anyone could answer them.
I'll soon be sitting the exam like many other year eights. Also, I have been doing Edu-Kingdom for the past couple of months,and was wondering is the tests at Edu -Kingdom easier then the actual exam?I also need advice on how to improve my math scores (I have studied the year 8 and 9 maths) in the tests as at Edu-Kingdom I usually recieve average or sometimes high average. If anyone has any questions (besides with math; I literally suck at it  ::)) with english or the actual exam comment below.

Much appreciated ;D

Hello k.herc!
How are you?
Hmm. I would suggest for maths that you look over the mistakes you are making whether it's in Edu Kingdom or self-study. By looking over your mistakes, I mean actually going through them and seeing why you got that question wrong and what the correct way to do it is.
Keep practising and challenge yourself! The selective test is designed to be very hard so practise practise practise!

Which areas of maths are you struggling in?

Thank you for replying Phoenix11! ;D
I'm quite tiredtbh and just stressing a bit >.<
It really ranges in what I have difficukties with in terms of math as some tests I may get one area of math correct whilst the other tests I don't.
I'm having issues with the following:
.Gradients
.Measuring area/volume of strange shapes
.Ratios
.Findig the area of a sector of a circle
And those WTF questions in Numerical Reasoning.
Is there any good (free) resources online to practice math for the exam?
As well as mentioning the main areas on which I should practice for math.
Thanks :D

Hello again.
Guys... i really don't think you should be using that negative language. So please don't.  :)
Anyways, here are attached links for the practice exams on the Selective Entry website.

http://www.education.vic.gov.au/school/parents/secondary/Pages/practicetests.aspx
Scroll down and there are practice tests for each component!
Good luck!
