35questions40minutesmultiple choice

Matched to the real test, question by question.

35 multiple-choice questions in 40 minutes — the NSW Selective Test's published shape, sampling the same mix of number, patterns, measurement, geometry, and stats and probability as the Department of Education's three public sample papers.

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.
