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 the last thing on their mind.
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 shouldn't be on the day.
Included with every paper in the catalogue — paid or free. The same link unlocks the PDF and the online attempts.

Why we exist
Three isn't enough.
3
The Department of Education publishes three sample papers. That's the whole supply. 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 at a time. $9.99 each.
$9.99
Per paper. Forever.
No subscription. No annual plan. Pay once, keep the paper — and pay nothing for the two free ones.
Real format
Paper and on screen.
Typeset PDF with answer key, plus an online test mode built to mirror the real interface — timer, flag, progress grid, zoom, side panel.
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 thing, 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.
Why do I not need an account?
You do not. After paying you receive a download link by email. No password, no profile, no inbox spam — keep the email and you keep the paper.
What if my download link expires?
Download links work for several days and several uses. If yours has lapsed, reply to your receipt and I will send a fresh one.
How close is the online test to the real thing?
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.
Do I get the PDF as well as the online test?
Yes. Every paper includes both: a typeset PDF (with answer key) and the online test attempts. The link you receive opens whichever you prefer — paper on the kitchen table, or on a screen under exam conditions.
