Selective School Test Paper for Year 7 is a placement test for Selective High School. Students sit for the test when they are still studying in Year 6. Most parents get their kids to have lessons in tutoring centre nearby when they are still in Year 5.
The Selective School Placement Test for Year 7 has changed. The first group of genuine pigs was the students sitting for the placement test in 2021. Unfortunately, they did not have too much time to prepare for the changes. It was because the sample paper prepared by The Department of Education was not ready until mid-December 2020. There were only three (3) months before the Test.
Because of the short notification, school and tutoring centre may not be fully responded on the their English tutoring or math tutoring program. They may still be working on the original Selective School Test Paper.
What Are the Selective School Test Changes?
Before going through the details of the changes, we have a quick review on what was Selective School Test before the changes.
There were four (4) sections which were English (Reading), Math, General Ability and Writing (refer to table below). The original test structure has been used for many years.
The new test structure emphasis on problem-solving and the skills of thinking. There are still four (4) subjects
Sections – English (Reading), Math, Thinking Skills and Writing. Thinking Skills is a new section to replace General Ability (G.A.). Most parents would enrol their kid in a tutoring centre for all those subjects. Click here for details of our program.
Except for Writing section, all of the others are in multiple question format. Some questions are 4-option multiple choose and some are 5-option multiple choose questions Table 2 below summaries the details of each test section.
Although the number of sections and testing time are about the same, we find out there are great different in the content by compare the old sample test paper with the new one.
When Will The Test Changes be Implemented?
The new structure has been introduced in the Selective School Test this year on 2021. There was no visual details or sample paper available until three months before the Test on March 2021
As usual, the Education Department emphasis no extra work or tutoring is required to prepare for the test. However, most parents are still eager to get their kid to have some sort of practice or lessons for the new structure.
