An extremely competitive entrance test identifying high-achieving students for GATE (Gifted & Talented Secondary Selective Entrance Programs)
Introduction
To secure a place in the Gifted and Talented Secondary Selective Entrance Program, interested students must take an entrance test, the ASET (Academic Selective Entrance Test). This fiercely competitive and standardised test is used to screen and select students fit for the GATE program.
Knowing about ASET in a quick glance:
- This test is used to gain admission to 1 fully Selective School and 18 select Public Schools in WA.
- Students in Year 6 are eligible for appearing in the test for the next academic session, i.e. Year 7 entry.
- A student’s higher-order cognitive skills are put to the test.
The ASET comprises 4 tests, of which 3 are of multiple choice type, and one is in open response format. The tests are:
Reading Comprehension
In a multiple-choice test, the student must answer 35 questions in 35 minutes. This section tests students’ ability to understand and interpret excerpts from various literary genres. The stimulus piece can be from any genre and be of any subject matter. Each question has four options: A, B, C, and D. The student must choose the most appropriate answer from the four options.
Communicating Ideas in Writing
This is the written response section of the test, in which the student must complete a creative writing piece in 25 minutes. A prompt, which can be in any form: an image, statement, or combination of both, will be provided. The student’s ability to think creatively, generate original ideas, and communicate them in a structured, organised, and coherent written form is assessed. The style of writing and genre are completely the candidate’s choice, but the student might be penalised if the written content is not original.
Quantitative Reasoning
A multiple-choice test requires a student to answer 35 questions in 35 minutes. This test section is very different from any other test they might have appeared in school. Here, the student’s ability to logically reason on a quantitative basis, i.e. to interpret and extract information, identify relationships, patterns, connections, differences, similarities and problem-solving abilities are put to the test. Each question will have 4 options- A, B, C, D- and the student must choose the most fitting answer of the 4 options.
Abstract Reasoning
This is a multiple-choice test in which students must answer 35 questions in 20 minutes. It is a pretty concept for Year 6 students, but it essentially tests their problem-solving skills. The questions are mainly pattern problems, where students identify, strategies, and solve. Each question has four answers A, B, C, and D. The student must choose the most appropriate answer from the four.
The competitive quotient or difficulty level of the ASET increases each year, which means good preparation is absolutely necessary.
