      There is no strict time limit for the untimed quizzes, as they are designed for flexible practice. However, we recommend spending about 20–30 minutes per quiz to ensure focused learning. This helps build endurance and familiarity with the question types without the stress of a timer.

     

    18. How do the timed exams work?

    • Answer:
      The timed exams mimic the actual Selective Entry High School Exam conditions. Each section is strictly timed, with durations similar to the real exam:

      • Creative Writing: 40 minutes
        Scores are provided after each attempt to track progress.

    20. What is the format of the questions in the quizzes and exams?

    • Answer:
      The questions follow the format of the ACER Selective Entry Exam:

      • Verbal Reasoning: Multiple-choice questions testing logical thinking, word relationships, and patterns.

      • Reading Comprehension: Multiple-choice questions based on passages, assessing literal, inferential, and vocabulary-based understanding.

      • Creative Writing: Open-ended prompts for imaginative, persuasive, or reflective writing tasks (not scored but provided for practice).

     

    21. How do the tutorials help me prepare for the quizzes and exams?

    • Answer:
      The 8 tutorials provide step-by-step guidance on key concepts and strategies for each section of the English components. They include examples, tips, and explanations to help you understand the reasoning behind the answers. After completing a tutorial, you can immediately apply what you've learned by attempting related quizzes and exams.

     

    22. Are the tutorials linked to specific quizzes or exams?

    • Answer:
      Yes, the tutorials are designed to complement the quizzes and exams. For example:

      • A tutorial on Verbal Reasoning will include practice theory and example questions that align with the Verbal Reasoning quizzes.

    23. How long does it take to complete all the tutorials?

    • Answer:
      The time required to complete the tutorials depends on your pace and familiarity with the content. On average, each tutorial takes about 30-45 minutes to complete. With 8 tutorials, students typically spend around 4-6 hours in total, not including additional time for quizzes and exams.

     

    24. Can I access the tutorials separately from the quizzes?

    • Answer:
      Yes, the tutorials are standalone resources and can be accessed independently of the quizzes and exams. However, we recommend using them together for maximum benefit. Completing the tutorials first will help you understand the concepts, while the quizzes and exams allow you to apply and reinforce your knowledge.

     

    25. Will the timed exams feel like the real Selective Entry Exam?

    • Answer:
      Yes, the timed exams are designed to closely replicate the format, timing, and difficulty level of the actual ACER Selective Entry Exam. They include multiple-choice questions for Verbal Reasoning and Reading Comprehension, as well as Creative Writing prompts, ensuring students are fully prepared for the real test.

     

    26. What happens if I run out of time during a timed exam?

    • Answer:
      If you run out of time during a timed exam, the system will automatically submit your answers. You'll receive a score based on the questions you completed. Use this feedback to identify areas where you need to improve your speed and accuracy.

     

    27. Can I review my answers after completing a quiz or exam?

    • Answer:
      Yes, after completing a quiz or exam, you can review your answers along with detailed feedback. This includes explanations for correct and incorrect responses, helping you learn from your mistakes and avoid them in future attempts.

     

    28. How do I know which tutorials to focus on for my weak areas?

    • Answer:
      After completing quizzes or exams, your scores will highlight areas where you may need improvement. Based on these results, you can revisit specific tutorials that address those topics. For example, if you struggle with vocabulary-based questions, you can focus on the tutorial covering synonyms, antonyms, and contextual meanings.

     

    29. Can I pause a timed exam and resume later?

    • Answer:
      No, timed exams cannot be paused once started. This ensures the experience mirrors the actual exam conditions. However, untimed quizzes allow you to practice without time constraints, giving you flexibility to pause and resume as needed.

     

    30. Are the Creative Writing prompts included in the timed exams?

    • Answer:
      Yes, the timed exams include Creative Writing prompts, just like the actual Selective Entry Exam. While these prompts are not scored, they are timed (40 minutes) to help students practice planning and writing under pressure. Feedback is provided to guide improvement.
