Core Skills Tests focus on essential foundational skills across all subjects, including mathematical techniques, vocabulary, grammar, reading skills, verbal reasoning and quantitative concepts.
Although very few students reported seeing direct core-skill questions in the 2026 Selective Entry Exam, these question types appeared more often in previous exams and remain important foundations for solving application-based questions in the 2027 exam.
Students should be able to apply these skills accurately and within a limited time before attempting full exam-style problems.
