This is a free sample Reading Comprehension paper from the Melbourne Tutorials Mock Exam Library. It is written in house by our English teaching team and reflects the reading load, question style and timing pressure students meet in the Victorian selective entry examination.
Inside the paper you will find a set of passages spanning narrative, persuasive and informative writing, followed by multiple choice questions that test inference, tone, vocabulary in context, authorial purpose and the ability to locate evidence. The accompanying solutions file explains why each correct answer is correct and, just as importantly, why each tempting distractor is wrong.
It suits students in Year 8 and Year 9 preparing for selective entry, and capable Year 7 students who want an early measure of where they stand. Sit it under timed conditions, mark it against the solutions, and use the error pattern to decide what to practise next.
Delivery is instant. Your download link appears on screen at checkout and is emailed to you, and the files remain available in your account. The paper is designed to be printed at A4 so students can annotate the passages by hand, which is how they will read in the real examination.
