Year 8-11 Selective Result Discussion (2 Viewers)

[nutgodpeanut]

I didn't make it but I got a top 15% in reading and a top 10% in Writing. My abstract and maths were both in the middle 50%. If I want to try again next year, do you guys think that it is possible that I can improve from 50% to top 10% or 15%? If so, what material and resources do I use to improve, as there isn't any designated for year 10. Thanks.

Tbh I think it’s pretty hard to improve maths and abstract because you can’t really prepare for it but for reading and writing you can do a lot of practice to get better

I mean you don't know whats on the reading either, and abstract all follow the same few rules so I think it's pretty achievable. The only thing is I pretty much can't find any resources, so what do other people use when they practice for year 10, or do they just not practice at all?
