How to Ace Selective Exams

Preparing for selective exams can be daunting, but with the right strategies and study tips, your child can excel.

Here are three effective tips to help your child ace their selective exams:

1. Create a Study Schedule

Tip: Help your child create a detailed study schedule that covers all the subjects they need to study. Break down their study time into manageable chunks, focusing on one topic at a time.

Example: Divide your study time into 45-minute sessions with 10-minute breaks in between. For example, Monday: Math from 4:00-4:45 PM, English from 5:00-5:45 PM, and so on.

2. Practice Past Exam Papers

Tip: Encourage your child to practice with past exam papers or sample questions. This helps them familiarise themselves with the exam format and types of questions they will encounter.

Example: Set aside time each week to complete a full practice exam under timed conditions. Review your answers thoroughly to understand where you can improve.

3. Focus on Weak Areas

Tip: Identify your child's weak areas and devote extra time to improving them. Use additional resources like tutoring, online exercises, or study guides to help them gain confidence in these topics.

Example: If your child struggles with verbal reasoning, allocate extra study sessions specifically for that area. Use online practice tests and exercises to build their skills and confidence.

By implementing these strategies, your child can improve their preparation and boost their confidence for the selective exams. For more personalised support, consider one-on-one tutoring to provide targeted assistance and maximize their potential.
