EduTest Preparation
EduTest Exam Mastery
A fast-paced multiple-choice aptitude test used by NSW selective schools including James Ruse Agricultural High School, Baulkham Hills High School, North Sydney Boys High School, North Sydney Girls High School and Sydney Girls High School.
What is the EduTest?
The EduTest is a selective entry and scholarship assessment used by schools across Australia. It is a fast-paced, multiple-choice written exam (~30 seconds per question) which assesses aptitude and reasoning skills that are not directly taught in school. This is what makes targeted preparation essential: the test rewards trained pattern recognition, timing strategy, and exam-specific technique rather than raw classroom content.
Tests year-level appropriate mathematical skills. Students apply curriculum mathematics under heavy time pressure — speed and accuracy are equally weighted.
