Hey I was just wondering what the questions on the science reasoning test will be like? And what sort of things should I do to prepare for the science reasoning?
sorry for the inconvenience and thanks ;D

Hello, I was just wondering (if we pass the exam and get an interview) how much of an effect school reports and special awards will have on the result?

My school report last year isn't the best because I didn't cope well during the COVID-19 pandemic. Do you think they might make an exception for that?

You can't really prepare for the science reasoning questions as they are reasoning and it is related to how you interpret graphs and diagrams more than general knowledge. If you really wanted to, you could go through the year 9 science content but if you're doing well in science right now then there is no need.

Don't worry about your school reports from last year and focus on making this years reports as good as you can. I had terrible grades in year 8 cause of annoying teachers. In year 9, i got my stuff together and tried as hard as I could. Ended up doing pretty well. I also didn't have many awards or extracurriculars and I somehow ended up getting in.

hi everyone, i believe that i have sufficiently practiced for the mathematics part of the exam, but I'm struggling on what to study for the science. I think studying for the science reasoning is almost impossible as its quite a lot of knowledge. Is there any advise on what I should do. I tried finding some icas but couldn't really find many! should I go through a whole science textbook or something?
Thanks   :)

 im actually having the same trouble, but I did go through the entire year 8 textbook. I quit when I started my year 9 textbook bcoz it got kinda repetitive aha. So im only doing chapters like sound, light, energy and bio related stuff (so i guess physics and bio??)
Im not sure if what im doing will help but i thought id share haha. sorry if i didnt help tho. :)

But do you mind giving tips for the maths? I'm getting kinda lost these days.

Thank you for this! I just went through my maths text book from this year, and I also went through quadratics! There are lots of lists on which particular stuff you should study :)

They definitely will make an exception, remember you have your interview before they look at your report cards, and judging by the way my 2020 report card looked (I failed 1 science tests and 2 maths tests) they value the interview more.
Awards are important, but dont higlight it if you dont have any. I got my Australian Scout Medalion as well as a few science competition awards, and they help to show that you're a well rounded student who exceeds what they need to do. They like well rounded student. If you need any help just ask or pm me whatever

It is dependent on the school you attend, but roughly 2000-ish students sit the test and around 200-250 get in. The rule of thumb is you need to get an interview in order to get in. Normally you should try to aim for 2-3 superiors just to be safe for an interview.
