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.

Three questions from this paper
Pulled straight from this paper, options and all. The correct answers appear in the review screen after you sit it.
- Q1
To perform at assembly: if a class has performed this term, they just add their name to the list; if they have not performed this term, they add their name AND rehearse with Mr Nguyen.
Declan: "6M hasn't performed this term and hasn't rehearsed with Mr Nguyen, so they can't perform at assembly."
Sienna: "5K performed at assembly and never rehearsed with Mr Nguyen, so they must have already performed this term."
If the information above is true, whose reasoning is correct?
