Selective School and Opportunity Class
Selective school and Opportunity Class test practice
Selective and Opportunity Class tests are not a harder version of schoolwork. They ask a child to reason with ordinary arithmetic and ordinary reading — to follow an argument, spot the flaw, and resist the answer that merely sounds right. The format is unfamiliar to almost every child, which is why practice tends to matter more here than anywhere else.
Practice by year
10 sections, each with real questions you can answer now without an account.
Common questions
- What is tested?
- Reading reasoning, mathematical reasoning and thinking skills, with quantitative reasoning added at Year 8. Thinking skills is the section families find hardest to prepare for, because there is nothing to revise — only recognition, built by meeting the shapes of the questions.
- How is this different from NAPLAN practice?
- NAPLAN checks what a child has been taught. A selective test sorts candidates, so the questions are written to separate them: short to read, several steps to solve, and every option defensible until you look closely.
- Can we try it first?
- Yes. Each section page has real questions to answer with their solutions, no account needed.
