The Selective High Schools Test measures ability and is set to discriminate at
a very high level. Students who are accustomed to answering most questions
in tests correctly should not be discouraged if they get a number of questions
wrong. It is very rare for even the highest scoring candidates to score full
marks on all components of the Selective High Schools Test.
Selective high school entry does not depend entirely on a student's
performance in the Selective High Schools Test as school assessment scores in
English and mathematics are provided by the primary schools. It is important
to note that selection committees and appeals panels will not accept students'
performance in this past paper as evidence of academic merit for the purposes
of entry into a selective high school in any future year.
If you decide to change your answer, cross it out with X and mark your new answer
clearly.
If you want to work anything out, you may write in this question booklet, but remember
to show your answer in the answer booklet NOT in this question booklet.
In the tests you will find Answer Check boxes like this:
ANSWER CHECK (Mathematics No. 1)
Look at your answer booklet was the last bubble you filled in for Question 15?

This is to ensure you are answering the question in the right answer bubble.
