Why Most Students Lose Motivation During Select Entry (And Top Students Don't)

In this video, Ashton, my Melbourne student who achieved 5/5 superiors in the Victorian Selective Entry Exam, shares his thoughts on motivation, discipline, and staying focused throughout the selective entry journey. Many students start preparation highly motivated, but as the exam approaches, it becomes harder to stay consistent. Or sometimes the other way around, students only become motivated when it is far too late! Being motivated for a month or two is often not enough, in order to really have a chance, you need to be motivated for at least 6 months. In this discussion, we talk about: • why students lose motivation • what separates top students from everyone else • how to stay consistent when you don't feel like studying • balancing school, tutoring, and exam preparation • dealing with setbacks and difficult periods • building habits that lead to long-term success If you're preparing for Melbourne High School, Suzanne Cory High School, Nossal High School, JMSS, scholarship exams, or the Victorian Selective Entry Exam, this video provides practical advice from a student who has successfully been through the process. The goal isn't to be motivated every day — it's to keep moving forward even on the days you don't feel like it.
