Matched to the real test, question by question.
40 multiple-choice questions in 40 minutes — the NSW Selective Test's published shape, sampling the same mix of verbal reasoning, deductive puzzles, numerical logic, and spatial thinking as the Department of Education's published Thinking Skills 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.

Pulled straight from this paper, options and all. The correct answers appear in the review screen after you sit it.
- Q1
The hiking app awards a gold star to any route that is both under 10 km AND has more than 200 metres of elevation gain — and every route meeting both conditions gets one.
Willow: "If a route gets a gold star, you know it must be under 10 km."
Arjun: "And if a route is 15 km long, you know it won't get a gold star."
If the information in the box is true, whose reasoning is correct?
- Q2

- Q3
Twelve students take three tests (each out of 100). So far, two tests have been taken:
Name Test 1 Test 2 Total Heidi 61 48 109 James 66 51 117 Piper 44 91 135 Sarah 66 48 114 Tom 57 96 153 Alira 67 57 124 Jo 33 38 71 Layla 62 65 127 Edward 65 38 103 Connor 99 100 199 Kai 58 86 144 Isabelle 94 93 187 A prize goes to the unique student with the highest combined score across all three tests. If two students tie for the top score, no one wins the prize.
As things currently stand, one student (Connor) is able to be sure of winning the prize as long as a high enough score is achieved in the final test. What is the minimum score in the final test that will guarantee this student the prize?
