Practice Paper 2
Calibration
Matched to the real test, question by question.
Five parts in 45 minutes — a fiction extract, a vocabulary cloze, a poem, a gapped-text passage, and a multiple-matching set — built from real, public-domain literature, the same shape as the NSW Selective Reading test. Currently in Beta and still being refined against the real test.
Every paper is generated, sat, and hand-reviewed before it is published. If a question is wrong in timing, format, or difficulty, it is rewritten. If the paper does not feel like the real test, you have thirty days to say so and ask for a refund.
— Made and reviewed in Sydney.

- Q1
Which writer recalls that, as a small child, a high place so frightened them that nothing could bring them near the edge?
- Q2
Which writer believes their special place first stirred in them the urge to create things of their own, rather than only to take in what others had made?
- Q3
Which writer was cured of a childhood fear not by any comforting but by being handed a job and simply left to manage it alone?
