Hey everyone,





I just did Edutest this year and, tbh, my Reading and Verbal Reasoning scores weren’t great 😅. I’ve seen ppl here get multiple Superiors and I’m really curious how u prepped.





  • What specific resources or sites actually helped (not just “read more”)?
  • Did u mostly grind past papers or work on vocab/logic stuff?
  • How early did u start, and how much did u practise each week?
  • Any hacks for staying focused and managing time in those long reading comps?
  • Did tutoring or study groups help?







Would love to hear what worked for u guys cus I wanna level up big time for next year 🙏🔥

Hiiii, I still don't know my edutest scores but I'm doing the interview to Ruse on Wednesday. My mum bought the edutest past papers, and they are really similar, so I would say work on them. They also basically tell you what's tested. For eg. math, there will be trig, geometry, financial, so like focus on that. Take screenshots of wrong questions (and right ones if you want to). And for vocab, write it down and go over it (memorise). I think there were at least 3 words that came up again. ALSO MAKE SURE TO READ THE QUESTION PROPERLY. I pretty much only started revising make 3 weeks before, but my math is ok, so it was fine for me. In all honesty, I kind of revised last minute so... Anyways, for reading comps, read the questions first AND THEN read the passage. I don't have any tips on staying focused though- I kind of just get into the zone of doing an assessment. Tutoring did not help like specifically, I think just make sure you are well rounded in all areas (eg. I would do math regularly regardless of assessments so I was well versed in all the math topics rather than revising purely for the edutest).

I hope that helps!
