{"product_id":"year-5-6-scholarship-tests","title":"Year 5 \u0026 6 Scholarship Tests","description":"\u003cp\u003eWritten by Mr K Suga\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe are aware that several books have already been published which aim at this very large and ever increasing market. The few publications available at this point in time usually consist solely of test papers containing a wide variety of typical scholarship multiple-choice questions. Practising on these papers is obviously beneficial and useful for assessing the overall ability and potential of a student. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, the problems in each paper vary considerably from question to question, both in content and difficulty level. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition, there are usually no theory, examples or useful hints and methods on how to solve the great variety of problems given. These limitations make it very difficult to help and tutor students for the scholarship exams, because every question in the paper is usually totally different from the others – each requiring a different approach and set of thinking skills.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo overcome the problem, Mr K Suga has carefully researched all the previous types of scholarship exam questions and divided them up into fourteen (14) major topics. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach six page topic is divided up as follows:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"um-table\" style=\"width: auto;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"th2\"\u003ePages 1 \u0026amp; 2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUseful theory and typical fully worked examples. These give students, parents and teachers useful hints and strategies on how to solve the problems in the next four pages.

In fact many schools and coaching colleges have told me that they also use the book in the early and middle high school years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce again, the presentation and layout is of a very high standard, and the test questions (although based closely on the format of previous scholarship exam questions) are unique, interesting and at times extremely challenging. Teachers\/Coaches\/Parents\/Students will now find it much easier to teach or master a particular topic area. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hunter Education","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54677345632529,"sku":"9781875462247","price":27.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0786\/7786\/8817\/files\/year-5-amp-6-scholarship-tests-9871875462247-2139-1317104282b_2.jpg?v=1789523164","url":"https:\/\/www.teachersuperstore.com.au\/products\/year-5-6-scholarship-tests","provider":"Teacher Superstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
