Why School Entrance Exams are Different
High-stakes exams require more than content knowledge
School entrance exams assess far more than curriculum skills. Students are tested on their ability to:
​
-
Think critically under time pressure
-
Interpret unfamiliar material
-
Apply reasoning, not memorisation
-
Write clearly and concisely
-
Solve problems they’ve never seen before
Many capable students struggle because they’ve never been taught exam literacy — the skill of understanding what a question is really asking and how to respond effectively.
