How to prepare for Baulkham Hills High School
Because entry is relative and competitive, the families who do best prepare in a way that mirrors the real exam: timed, on a screen, with every mistake reviewed properly. Test Academy’s online platform recreates that environment, marks instantly, and gives the kind of detailed writing feedback that few other providers offer.
- Build a wide base of reading, reasoning and mathematics over time rather than cramming close to the test.
- List your preferences in genuine order of fit; placement depends on your choices as well as your results.
- Visit on an open day if you can, as the school's size and setting suit some students more than others.
