Do you have to do well in all exams to get through to the interview?
What will the interview be like, I know there is a discussion session where I would be placed with other students, will they give us a topic to discuss about or ???
what would I have to bring to the interview?
Does my report play a big role?
Also how many students go through to the interview??
I rlly need some answers lol 😅

Don't think I saw you on exhibition night where abouts were you?
You were near cells and systems? I think i may walked past your presentation. All I remember is seeing you busy with some others that day. Though i think this girl who i just realised went to my school recognised me and i didnt recognise her lol.

The 50% of people from the exam are given interviews. Interviews usually have a group activity first before your individual interview. I wouldnt stress on that yet as we have yet to complete the exam.

Seeing as we have around a week and a half until the test. Could we compile a list to give a general idea of the content we could revise? (Even better if someone who previously took the test could join in).

Mathematics test:
I've heard it's pretty easy and straightforward, a good knowledge of year 9 maths would be sufficient.

Numeracy and science reasoning:
This should be similar to ICAS and similar tests. Many puzzles, problem solving and reasoning compared to the mathematics test which consists of more standard math knowledge. The science is mainly looking at given information and deducing the answer via logical reasoning. Revise by looking at any past papers of similar nature.

Science writing tests:
I don't know too much about this - if we were to write a prac it should be pretty straightforward. Know your prac structure, and more technical terms such as the variables. Make sure you really get in depth with the discussion (quick Google searches should return key questions you should aim to answer). To practice, I guess just try writing sample prac reports. For the more intuitive writing test, good ways to prepare for this include revising essay structure and writing tips (not too necessary), reading more about current science events and look how journalists write their articles.

In general:
Year 9 math knowledge
Year 9 & 10 science knowledge - know how to apply this knowledge in new and unfamiliar situations too.
Adopt a 'scientific mindset'.

Similar triangles. 15:3 = y+10:10
15/3=y+10/10
=150/3=y+10
=y=40

Hey Guys!!!

I have been reading and checking on this thread almost every single day. You have given me a lot of help, THANK YOU ALL for that. I only have slight doubts about the Prac report. I'd be very grateful if someone could elaborate on that part of the test. Thanks again to everyone!

10 DAYS TO GO!!!!!

I'm pretty sure that it is at Caulfield Racecourse in the early morning (8ish) on the 9th of June (Saturday). I haven't received an email but I know because I went to the Information Night. I'm pretty sure this info is right but you should confirm with someone else, just in case.
