One Exam, Four Schools
Victoria's four selective entry high schools all select students through the same ACER exam, sat in Year 8 for Year 9 entry. The current format groups Mathematics with Quantitative Reasoning and Reading with Verbal Reasoning, plus two pieces of writing - a structure designed to punish rote learning and reward fast, integrated problem-solving.
That means preparation is not about memorising more formulas. It is about exam strategy, pacing, and practising on questions that match the real format. Read our full Selective Entry Exam guide for the format, dates and scoring in detail.
