It’s an exciting time of year at Spectrum Tuition. Over the last two weekends, we held our Selective Schools Mock Exams and feedback sessions. These sessions were designed to give students a chance to get a feel for what it takes to succeed in an actual selective school exam. All of the students who sat the mock exams will soon be sitting down, alongside roughly 3000 other students, to try to gain a place in a prestigious Melbourne selective school, such as MacRobertson Girls’ High School, Melbourne High School, Suzanne Cory High School and Nossal High School.
Some students sitting the exams have been preparing with us since the middle of last year in our Selective Schools Exam Preparation classes. We wish them the best on actual exams over the coming weeks!
But now is the time to start thinking about next year and ask yourselves a few questions…
Is your child talented, dedicated and enthusiastic about his or her studies?
Does your child often feel unchallenged by their current schoolwork?
Do you want to make sure your child gets the best possible opportunity in life: a good education?
Is your child currently in year 7?
If so, then you really should start thinking about preparing your child for a selective schools exam. A place at a prestigious selective school can offer a huge range of possibilities for a talented student. Students at these schools consistently achieve high ATAR scores, and go on to gain top university places and pursue rewarding careers.
However, places are extremely competitive, and the selective schools exam is incredibly difficult. That’s why many students come to our classes to gain an advantage over the competition. Our 40 week Selective Schools Exam Preparation course runs on weekends and covers absolutely everything that your child will need to succeed on the exams, including content that they would never learn in school. Topics include numerical reasoning, verbal reasoning, reading comprehension, persuasive writing, narrative writing and exam skills. Further, many of the topics covered in the mathematics portion tests material well beyond what is expected in the Year 8 curriculum.
