Arrive early. Make sure your child has eaten and is well rested. A calm, confident mindset matters more than last-minute study.
Listen carefully to all instructions. Fill in the answer sheet details correctly — name, year level, school.
Work through questions steadily. If stuck, move on and come back. For MCQ, eliminate clearly wrong options first.
English (30 questions, 45 min) = ~90 seconds per question. Mathematics (40 questions, 45 min) = ~67 seconds per question. Science (35 questions, 45 min) = ~77 seconds per question.
If time allows, go back and check any questions you were uncertain about. Do not leave any questions unanswered — there is no penalty for guessing.
