Selective School Test Q&A Thread

[ureba]

I don't think you can because it said no digital watches. I don't think you should take the risk as I've heard that these supervisors are really strict.

Can I bring my G Shock watch (Digital), I am just a bit confused because it is not a smartwatch.

I’m not exactly sure but I think it is fine to take it with you. As it’s not a smartwatch (like an apple watch) it should be no problem but it’s best to check with someone else just in case. Good luck for your exam.

Those are fine. Just don't wear it and only use it to keep track of the time.

Thanks for all the replies . I think ill just play it safe and bring an analog watch.

Yeah, that'd be a good choice, my parents bought a small analogue watch which I could wear during the exam. In the james an mock test, we were only allowed to bring an analogue watch and we couldn't wear it during the tests - it had to be put on the table and the see-thru pencil case/water botle (which I just brought a zip-lock bag) on the floor.

Which practice exams have you done - hendersons, james an or whichever tuition you go to?

[ureba]

I haven't taken any tuitions but I did the Henderson's practice tests.

[Selective User]

That's alright you don't take any tuitions, what did you get for your hendersons practice exams

[Selective User]

Did anyone also do the james an mock test last weekend?

[ureba]

I've only done one for now and I got really bad lol. I'll finish the others one this week so I have a bit more practise.

Well, from what I heard, Hendersons is accurate for the english exams and JAC for the maths ones, and the practice tests on the department of education website are considerably easier than the real exam. I was also a bit worried about the writing, because on a website (I think it was exam success), it said even if you get all superiors but an avg in the writing, you might not get a spot. Anyways, good luck trying out for Macrob

there is no writing this year because it got extended so much.

ahh! the selective entrance exam is already tmr, does anyone have any last min tips that would be helpful during the exam?

Bois i am happy to share I got into Melbourne high (my 1st preference) with 4 superiors.

Nice job, I also got 4 sups and chose Nossal as I live 5 min away from it

I also got all superiors and got into the school of my choice. I wanted to share my experience on the exam and some tips and tricks so see below for a Youtube video I made.
