if you can do them last minute then go for it
guys does anyone know how hard edutest is
my studying is wrecked and not going well because I have no idea how hard it actual is and I have no resources because the official one is easy and no other website is giving out free resources
someone help me-

First you needa buy some practice tests even if they're like a 100$ or smth. They're gonna help you dw. Then complete a set and find the questions you got wrong - put em in a doc and then practice that type again n again until u understand? Ykwim?

well ok I alr bought the 3 pack thing so I'll review those questions.
what I'm wondering os that if those practice tests actually reflect the difficulty of the actual test

Hi which notesedu package are you buying?? Because there's a lot

prolly like the premium one? i think it's ~$200 but if it helps me get into my dream school(ruse, ive wanted to go since yr4) then it's worth it

 

[spiderlemonade]

I feel like having an a in math and English is pretty important but you're gonna make up for it with other subjects

thankfully my report for this term is coming out after the edutest applications close.. so ig i dont have to submit it?

 

[spiderlemonade]

anyone know if merit awards count as achievements for the portfolio? my school puts them on sentral and i have merit awards for maths and jap

 

[nj_0]

I have merit awards but they're not exactly certificates

 

[nj_0]

Honestly js put any award/ certificate you can find. That's what I'm gonna do lol

omds I acctually can't w abstract reasoning how do yall find it so easy...Like I've seen so many posts that are like I did the test and abstract reasoning was the easiest, like how?? Or maybe it js because all the other subjects were way harder idk.

IT HURTS MY BRAINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

oof for edutest, we dont have to do abstract reasoning which is a relief
I hope you get the hang of it because it is the worst (even my dad raged on it lmao)

 

[nj_0]

I find abstract reasoning easy kinda cuz when I was doing selective in yr 6 I really picked up on it

LUCKYYY
except I'm doing edu test and HAST...
I've been doing thinking skills and GA for years so abstract reasoning should be easy except there's no formula or an organized way to solve these types of problems so they just pmo...
whats schools r u applying too for btw?

I find everything else easy except abstractv reasoning. What are your tips for it?

 

[saneetaa]

I think I'm mainly scared for writing and nr

im doing both tests, for hast im scared for abstract reasoning for edu test im scared of verbal reasoning. I also feel like for math im gonna do a silly mistake and even a little mistake can mess up your chance of getting in...so im locking in

 

[nj_0]

for me I'm scared of writing; I don't do well under pressure for that

just practice(i did a lot of practice papers) and eventually you'll start to understand the patterns. for both year 6 HAST and selective, my best test was abstract, mainly because of all the practice i did, but also bc i enjoyed it. if it's not something you like then balance it out, make sure you study for the other tests asw.

 

[notboard]

for yr 6 hast, I kinda failed because my dominant arm was in a cast from high jump lol
