The Selective Entry Exam
Is Your Child Preparing for a Selective School?
The Selective Entry Exam has changed. Many students still spend hours at large tutoring centres, complete generic practice questions, and memorise formulas. The exam now rewards integrated problem-solving instead.
The new ACER format groups Mathematics with Quantitative Reasoning and Reading with Verbal Reasoning. Students using outdated methods often struggle when the clock is running. With ~5,000+ applicants each year, targeted preparation matters.
The ACER Format Has Changed
Mathematics is now grouped with Quantitative Reasoning. Reading is grouped with Verbal Reasoning. This is a deliberate move to punish rote learning and test integrated, rapid problem-solving.
Time Pressure on Exam Day
Students who rely on outdated preparation methods often freeze under time pressure. A clear plan for pacing and question selection makes a real difference when places are limited.
