EBSS SELECTIVE SCHOOL EXAM HELP!!!!

[Stormbreaker-X]

Have you enrolled for the test yet? Did you receive any email about information regarding the test? (i haven't enrolled yet lol, probs will enrol on monday)

Yeah I enrolled already and no I didn't receive anything from the school yet. I think we receive information after the closing date.

I wish I did that, lol it sounds pretty cool.

Also do you think EBSS is easier than our year 8 selective school competition?

If i did that, i will graduate at 16... WWOW

Hahahhaha xD

I think for math, doing 60 questions in half an hour will be a problem. I struggle with time more than knowing the concept.

Mmmm maybe since there is less people trying out for it which means we have a greater chance of getting in. I also heard that the mathematics test is easier than the year 8 one. At least we don't have to do numerical and persuasive/creative writing.

Oh I did some research and the cohort for University high school was under 150-200. I don't think it was over 200.

Same i'm worried that the last few pages will be more difficult which means i need to spend more time on it.

I'm glad this thread has been useful for everyone!

Just make sure you don't break forum rules by double/triple posting - try to include all your text in a single post (even if you are reponding to multiple people at the same time)

Hmm maybe pinpoint your weakest math topic (like do the practice exam to see which topic you struggle with) and focus on them more? I wrote a list of the topics which i struggled with during the practice exam.

For some reason, math always freaks out. I did high average, but I am just scared of it.

Same.. it's such a broad subject, there's so many topics 

What books does your school use for maths and science? Mine uses cambridge for maths and pearson for science.

[Stormbreaker-X]

My school uses Pearson for math and Oxford for science. yeah true math is a board topic and there is a lot to learn.

Do go to tuition for those selective school exams?
