The most realistic practice outside the Department of Education.
Year 6 Mathematical Reasoning and Thinking Skills, sat on screen on a player built to feel like test day. One pass unlocks every paper, unlimited — from $12 for a day to $129 all the way to the 2027 test. Start free: one paper, 24 hours, no card.
30-day money-back. If a paper does not feel like the real test, reply to your receipt for a refund.
My daughter feels your practice papers are the closest match to the ones on the Department of Education's website — and really helpful for her to practise with.
New · Online test mode
Sit it on screen — the way it will feel on the day.
The NSW Selective Test is sat on a computer. Most practice sites have their own online mode that feels like a different product, so the interface itself is one more thing your child meets for the first time on test day. Ours is built to look and feel like the real one, so the tool is not one more thing to work out on the day.
On the left, our test mode. On the right, the Department of Education's official sample. Two screenshots, one screen. The first time your child sees it should not be on test day.
Included with every paper in the catalogue, paid or free. The same link opens your online attempts.

Why we exist
Ten free tests is not a study program.
10
Count the Department's entire free supply: three paper-era sample papers (its own site says they no longer match the on-screen format), four online practice tests for Mathematical Reasoning, three for Thinking Skills. A child practising weekly from application to test day sits more than twenty. Every other provider either charges hundreds for a bundle your child will never finish, or sells questions that don't match the real test's format or difficulty — you can feel it the moment a child sits one. We make papers that do — one pass unlocks every one, unlimited. Try one free for 24 hours first. Practising all the way to the test? One pass unlocks every paper to the 2027 test →

Real format
On screen, like test day.
An online test mode built to mirror the real interface: timer, flag, progress grid, zoom, and a side panel. After each attempt, the review screen shows the correct answer and an explanation for every question.
Calibrated
Not generic filler.
Every question reviewed against the real test's difficulty by a Sydney parent preparing his own child. If a paper doesn't feel real, ask for your money back.
What's on the test
Year 6, three timed sections, plus writing.
The NSW Selective High School Placement Test sits Year 6 students in three multiple-choice papers — Reading, Mathematical Reasoning, and Thinking Skills — plus a short writing task. Reading is around 17 questions in 45 minutes (some with several parts); Mathematical Reasoning is 35 questions in 40 minutes; Thinking Skills is 40 questions in 40 minutes. Roughly a minute a question, often less.
Today we publish Mathematical Reasoning and Thinking Skills. Mathematical Reasoning covers number and operations, number patterns and algebra, measurement, geometry, statistics, and probability. Thinking Skills covers verbal reasoning, deductive puzzles, numerical logic, and spatial thinking. Both are calibrated to the real test's difficulty rather than easy school worksheets.
Frequently asked
Questions parents ask before buying.
How similar are these to the real NSW Selective Test?
Every paper is generated, sat, and reviewed against the published NSW Selective Test format — Year 6, multiple-choice, with the real question counts and time limits (35 in 40 minutes for Mathematical Reasoning, 40 in 40 minutes for Thinking Skills) and the same skill mix the Department of Education uses. If a paper does not feel like the real test, you can have your money back.
Who made these?
I am Yaniv, a parent in Sydney preparing my own child for the Opportunity Class and Selective tests. I built the generator after going through every public sample paper and finding nothing else calibrated to the real difficulty.
How close is the online test to the real test?
Closer than any practice tool we have seen. We built ours to match the feel of the real test: the countdown, the flag button, the progress grid, the zoom tool, the side panel for diagrams and passages. So the interface feels familiar on test day. Other providers have online modes too, but most are their own product with their own look and flow.
Why do I not need an account?
You do not. For the free paper you receive a download link by email; with a pass you sign in with just your email — no password, no profile. Practice-tips emails are consent-based and one-click unsubscribe.
How long does my access last?
The free paper is yours for 24 hours from when you claim it, with three attempts at the online test. A pass lasts as long as the pass you choose — a day, a week, or all the way to the 2027 test. If a purchased link ever lapses, reply to your receipt and I will send a fresh one.
Is there a PDF to download?
No. The papers are online-only, because the real NSW Selective Test is sat entirely on a computer. Your child practises on the same screen format, under the same timer. After each attempt, the review screen shows the correct answer and an explanation for every question.
