Victorian Selective School Year 9- Exam Guide [Edutes]
Is atest that measures year-level appropriate mathematical
knowledge. Normally the concepts and problems have a difficulty
ofa year above your current year. Any of these topics can be
tested so make sure to try to learn as much of these before you
can. Many people will run out of time before finishing all questions
in detail, so it is best to practice quick maths before you enter the
exam room. Assuming answers (guessing the answer that looks
the most correct) is also really useful to make you finish the test
in time.
