Melbourne High Practice Tests for the Year 10 Edutest Exam

Practice tests for the Melbourne High School (MHS) Year 10 entrance exam: what each Edutest paper asks, how long you get, and a free diagnostic to find out where you stand. How the papers are built, where to sit a free diagnostic, and how to use the question bank are on this page. Format, topic lists and the application steps live on the Victorian selective exam guide. The campus is on the Melbourne High school page.

Big Brain does not host an official Edutest PDF. Official registration and any sample information Edutest publishes lives on Edutest. Timed practice (Edutest-style questions in the question bank, not a downloadable booklet) lives on the platform.

What is specific to Melbourne High

Melbourne High is the boys' selective school in South Yarra, founded in 1905. The Year 10 sitting is for current Year 9 students and uses the same five Edutest papers as Mac.Rob, Nossal and Suzanne Cory. This page covers that paper; the Year 9 ACER Selective Entry exam is a separate test.

Most students enter at Year 9 through the ACER Selective Entry exam, and Year 10 fills a limited number of extra places. Current Year 10 students can also sit for Year 11 entry, on the same five Edutest papers. Some schools add an interview or a written application after the exam, depending on the school. Dates and fees stay on Edutest and the school. We do not republish them here.

What the practice tests cover

The Year 10 selective exam is five Edutest tests (ACER runs the Year 9 exam). The table matches Big Brain's VIC Selective Year 10 exam record. Topic lists for each paper are on the exam guide. Shared Edutest patterns (how a percentile works, writing timing) are on the Edutest exam guide.

Free diagnostic, then the question bank

Start with a diagnostic, not a full mock. A 30 to 45 minute diagnostic on the free diagnostic page maps which of the five papers is costing marks. The sitting mixes speed (Mathematics and Verbal Reasoning) with slower reading and two written pieces. A student who practises their strongest paper first stays busy without improving.

After the diagnostic, timed section practice in the question bank is the method. Mathematics is 60 questions in 30 minutes. Verbal Reasoning is the same pressure with words instead of curriculum. Reading Comprehension is 50 questions in 30 minutes, including sentence correction, so a student who skims the passage and ignores the grammar items drops marks. Written Expression is two pieces of 15 minutes each, with no planning or reading time, and the paper sets the genre. Practise both creative and persuasive on a 15-minute clock so either set style is familiar.

How to run a practice week

• One timed mathematics or numerical-reasoning set, then review every miss. Without an error log, students repeat the same mistakes at speed.
• One verbal-reasoning or reading set, timed. Untimed runs hide the pressure of 60 verbal questions in 30 minutes.
• Two written pieces, one creative and one persuasive. Stop each at 15 minutes, planning included.
• A full five-paper mock only once the section times feel ordinary. Starting with full mocks burns stamina before the question types are familiar.

Month-by-month runway stays on the exam guide and the Edutest exam guide. This page is the drills.

Where this sits next to the other pages

• This page: practice tests, the free diagnostic, and the question bank for this school's Year 10 Edutest sitting.
• Victorian selective exam guide: format, topic lists, and how to apply for 2028 entry. One exam guide for all four schools.
• Melbourne High school page: the school itself.
• The same papers, named for the other three schools: MacRob Practice Tests, Nossal Practice Tests, Suzanne Cory Practice Tests.
• JMSS is a different Edutest sitting with science papers, so its drills do not transfer here.

Live classes, if you want them later, are with JT Education. This page is self-study.

Note: Exam formats can move year to year. This page follows the VIC Selective Year 10 Edutest record. For the current sitting, use official school and Edutest communications.
