A Parent's Guide to Scholarship Tests
Author(s): R Leech
Publisher: ACER Press 2009
Preparing, applying and sitting for a scholarship test can be gruelling and competitive process for the child and the child’s parents, and the disappointment of not being awarded a scholarship can be demoralising and disappointing. The aim of a scholarship test is to identify the very best potential students for an elite school from a pool of outstanding candidates. To be of any use, scholarship tests must find often very small differences in the academic performance of very high achieving students.
The unavoidable truth is that many more students sit scholarship tests than there are scholarships available.
A Parent’s Guide to Scholarship Tests aims to help parents better understand scholarship tests so that they can help their child do their best when it counts. The book contains:
- detailed information about the CSTP, PSP, SST and ACEP scholarship tests
- advice on preparing for the test
- example questions and sample answers with detailed explanations, strategies and approaches
- suggestions on helping your child develop the skills and abilities the tests target
- advice on how to manage expectations and better understand results
- case studies and advice from participating schools.
