Take Advantage Of Your Second Chance!
The process of preparing for the Victorian Selective Schools exam can be daunting. Firstly, students are required to sit a grueling 3 hour exam which will test students on concepts beyond the Year 8 curriculum. After passing to a high enough standard, students may find themselves just missing out due to the 5% rule.
What is the 5% rule?
The maximum number of students admitted to the four selective schools from any one school must not exceed 5% of that school's year 8 enrolment. For example, if there are 100 students in year 8 at a school, then no more than a total of five may be selected, even though more students may have reached the required academic threshold.
What does this process involve?
Students given the opportunity to apply for the principal's discretionary category, are firstly required to write an application letter, similar to an employment cover letter, outlining why they feel they would be a good fit for their chosen school.
If the school is impressed by your response, they will invite you to sit a group and face to face interview with the principal who will make the final selection.
The challenge for many students is that, even if they are a 'perfect fit', they may not have the skills or experience to communicate this clearly to their target school.
This is exactly why we created this bundle.
We have combined both resources into this highly valuable package, giving you every opportunity to refine your responses and prepare for both components.
After helping countless students with their application letter and interview, we have produced an all in one resource that provides you with a structured way to think about the application letter, interview and practical strategies on how to weave your skills and talents into your response effectively.
More specifically, in this package you'll learn;
* how to structure and write a winning application letter
* how to structure responses to tough interview questions
* how to conduct yourself in the group interview
* what 'winning' responses look like.
