Victorian Selective High School Test – 2025

🚀New ACER Test Format – The test pack is spatially for Victoria Year 9 Selective Entry

Victorian Selective - Grab hold of your Dream School

Introduction

Victorian Selective Entry High School offers excellent education for high-achieving students in Years 9 to Year 12. So, Year 8 students will be able to apply for the exam.

The competitive 5-part test decides if a student will get into one of the four prestigious public selective schools. These schools are-

  • MacRobertson Girls High School
  • Melbourne High School
  • Suzanne Cory High School
  • Nossal High School

However, there is a striking change this year. Previously, the test paper was customized by Edutest. But now, from 2023, the test will be written by the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER). They will centralize the selection process for the Department of Education.

ACER brings years of experience to the mix. It successfully delivers high-stake assessments to its bond with the Victorian Department of Education.

Impact of the Massive Change from Edutest to ACER

One of the most crucial changes mentioned on the website is that the knowledge test won’t exceed, which is found in the curriculum of Year 8. So, students should be able to use their existing knowledge in the right way to solve problems and gain a better understanding.

    Review::

    Without feedback, it is impossible to get the same question right without any help. Feedback is crucial when building up your child’s stamina to get the same type of question right the next time. Also, find out the reason why your child got the question wrong in the first place; and fix them to grant them entry into their dream school, and the final result from the Exam will be a function of your child’s capabilities. Parents will be able to view the student’s performance relative to their peers and see the performance per question type and topic.
