The largest component of the Selective Schools Test is Thinking Skills, which accounts for 35% of the overall test. The Thinking Skills questions can be challenging and require a strong foundation in critical thinking, problem-solving and spatial reasoning – skills that are similar to those developed through debating and logical reasoning.
However, Thinking Skills are not always taught consistently at school. This book provides targeted practice through mock Selective Schools Test questions, making it a valuable resource for accelerated Year 4–6 students preparing for selective high schools such as:
- James Ruse Agricultural High School
- North Sydney Boys High School
- North Sydney Girls High School
- Baulkham Hills High School
- Sydney Boys High School
- Sydney Girls High School
- Fort Street High School
- Caringbah High School
- Sydney Technical High School
- St George Girls High School
