If you want your child to practise for the Selective test the way they’ll actually sit it — on a screen, strictly timed, one question at a time — Test Academy’s Selective practice-test bundle is the closest at-home experience we’ve found.
Why realistic practice matters
A practice test isn’t just a score. Its real value is rehearsal: getting used to the on-screen interface, the timing, and the experience of moving through a paper under mild pressure. Then, crucially, reviewing every wrong answer properly. Test Academy is built around exactly that loop — instant marking, a worked solution on every question, and writing feedback that arrives fast enough to act on.
What we’d tell a parent
Start with the free tests. Sit one full paper in realistic conditions, then sit with your child and read the explanations together for everything they missed. That single habit — reviewing the why, not just the score — is what turns practice into improvement. The bundle makes it easy because the explanations and writing feedback are already there.

Built for the real on-screen format
The tests mirror the current computer-based NSW format — the same kind of interface and timing your child meets on the day.
Refreshed for the current exam
Content is written for the real exam and refreshed each season, not recycled paper papers from before the format changed.
Feedback, not just a score
Every question comes with a worked explanation, and writing gets criterion-by-criterion feedback in seconds.
