Benefits of Doing the 2024 NSW Selective Test on Paper

Описание: In this video, John goes through how students can leverage this year's paper-based format of the 2024 NSW Selective Test to their advantage as it is the last year before it goes online from 2025. With over 18,000 students registered for the exam on Thursday, May 9th, 2024, it's crucial to plan your study effectively. As someone who has navigated through Penrith and Girraween High Schools and now tutors students for a decade, I have firsthand insights that could help you and practical last-minute tips with annotations.

This video breaks down essential strategies:

Strategic Annotations and Time Management: When you encounter paragraphs loaded with details crucial dates or concepts, you can underline or annotate directly on the test paper. Methods will be shared to help prevent you from getting stuck and ensure that you cover all questions adequately from a time perspective.

Optimising the Writing Process for the Writing Section:
Being able to physically interact with the paper during the writing test allows for dynamic planning and structuring such as drawing mind maps or simple diagrams can significantly aid in structuring a narrative or argument effectively. If points are repeated or not unique, they can lose marks for the response. The same goes for if it is not aligned with the structure of the question that is being asked.

While the paper format allows for these strategic approaches, it’s crucial not to experiment with new methods in the final days leading up to the exam. Stick to the annotation and planning strategies that have worked for you during your preparation and try your best.
