For those who have done the Sydney Grammar Entrance Exam
I'm trying out for the exam for year 11 entry in | 2025 |. If possible, Could you give me some insight into the test, I'll list them below.
(Could you reply to this thread if you have done the exam, or other similar tests like entries into different schools) Thanks
1. | Maths | What does it mean by general ability? I do understand though, that general ability is ones ability to reason and solve problems
mathematically. But what I don't understand is whats actually being tested on the Entrance Exam, Since GA is such a wide topic. In your opinion, what could you compare it to? Could you give me a general checklist of what to revise, on the test?
2. | Preperation | I have prepared a decent amount for the test. Around 3 hours in school days to | 3 - 6 | hours in the weekends / holidays. Am I studying too much, because I reckon I am. Could you give me some insight on how you prepared for it?
3. | Resources | What resources did you use to prepare for the test? I know its going to be very difficult as the year 11 entry is the most competitve exam out of all year groups. I have a general idea of what I am studying. I am using | ASSESSMENT TRAINING | for some aspects of general ability and other resources such as AOPS, AMC or AMC8 / AMC10. Can you give me a general idea of what resources I should use to prepare for the exam.
Thanks for responding If you reply, It would be of great help.
Btw, I don't know what my profile pic is
