[WishingForPastPapers]

Congratulations!! If you don't mind sharing, can you please give me some tips for the test and tell me what your results were? I'm doing edutest for JR year 9 entry this year.

Good luck

Good luck

Sorry for respond rlly late but I'm pretty sire Viva_student2025 is correct :> Different schools use different tests for late entry (like year 8-11). Generally for later entries into top selective schools you use Edutest.

Thank you!! If anyone has any tips please give them to me

yeah, but like many of the people ik who did it for middle secondary (9-10 entry) said that the questions will include science but you don't need any prior knowledge as it will be given to u, wanna work together?

also do u think with my profile until now I have like even a little chance of making it, or like good chance. many people have straight a's tho ..

 

[Viva_student2025]

Yeah sure! I need help to prepare for maths and reading

 

[eager3908402734083]

ooh ok

 

[eager3908402734083]

Yeah sure! I need help to prepare for maths and reading

my reading isn't that good, I could probably only help math and abstract

 

[Viva_student2025]

Yeah I think you can definitely get in if your year 8 sem 1 report is good. As long as you don't get any C's, you can do it!! Your profile will also stand out because you got top 5% in Australia for icas.

[Viva_student2025]

oh alr, for math basically there are like from what I've heard and researched, permutations, combinations, ratio and rates, linear/simultaneous equations, and logic as well as science

Ah ok ty. Well I guess I'll share any resources I find with you.

 

[Viva_student2025]

Wait did you do hast for yr 8 entry last year?

 

[eager3908402734083]

Ah ok ty. Well I guess I'll share any resources I find with you.

np, also btw not sure if yk this, but for abstract reasoning there are mainly 3 types of questions, next in sequence, middle of sequence, and complete the pattern. I suck at middle but otherwise im all
