Words Win Marks: The Foundation of Every High Score
Both the NSW OC and Selective Reading papers include a dedicated Word Choice section that directly tests vocabulary. Beyond that, every question in the exam depends on understanding words quickly and precisely.
50%
of the NSW Selective mark comes from Reading and Writing — the sections that lean hardest on word knowledge
1,500
expert-curated Selective & Scholarship words in the Vocabulary Builder — plus 1,200 for NSW OC, tiered from Core to Elite
Reading25% of the mark
A dedicated Word Choice section tests vocabulary head-on — and a broad word bank helps split near-identical answer options.
Writing25% of the mark
Markers reward precise, varied word choice — the difference between good writing and top-band writing.
Thinking Skills25% of the mark
Questions turn on exact words — "must" vs "might", "all" vs "some". Reading them precisely splits close options.
Mathematical Reasoning25% of the mark
Problems arrive as worded scenarios. Marks are lost translating the words — not on the maths itself.
