The test at a glance<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Students sit one combined paper, run by ACER, in Year 8 for entry into Year 9. Content doesn't go beyond the end-of-Year-8 curriculum. There's no fixed pass mark: results are ranked against every applicant.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\tWhy prepare<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t

One attempt, a few hundred places<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Four schools, one test and thousands of applicants. Students get one attempt, in Year 8. Preparation, not just natural ability, is what makes the difference on the day.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t2<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Master the questions<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

\n \t\t\t3<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Master the exam<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

A full timed mock exam every study day, marked and reviewed, so the real test feels routine.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n

Questions parents ask<\/h2>\n\t\t
\n
\n \n \n \t\t\tIs there a free trial?<\/span>\n\t\t\n<\/span>\n\n<\/summary>\n
\n \t\t\t

Yes. Your child joins one full class with real exam-style questions, at no cost, and you get an honest read on where they're at. No pressure and no lock-in.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/details>\n

\n \n \n \t\t\tWhen should we start?<\/span>\n\t\t\n<\/span>\n\n<\/summary>\n
\n \t\t\t

Ideally a year or more before the test. A shorter runway still helps.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/details>\n

\n \n \n \t\t\tIs writing covered?<\/span>\n\t\t\n<\/span>\n\n<\/summary>\n
\n \t\t\t

Yes. Writing is 20% of the score. Creative and persuasive tasks are coached and marked against the official criteria.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/details>\n

\n \n \n \t\t\tHow big are the classes?<\/span>\n\t\t\n<\/span>\n\n<\/summary>\n
\n \t\t\t

Up to 6 students. We keep classes small on purpose, so every child gets personal attention and teachers can tailor their help to each student.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/details>\n

\n \n \n \t\t\tIs the study room included?<\/span>\n\t\t\n<\/span>\n\n<\/summary>\n
\n \t\t\t

Yes. It's open seven days a week and included with classes.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/details>\n

\n \n \n \t\t\tMy child is bright but not a natural test-taker. Will this help?<\/span>\n\t\t\n<\/span>\n\n<\/summary>\n
\n \t\t\t

Yes. Along with content, we focus on technique and timing, which is often what holds capable students back.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/details>\n\n<\/div>\n
