How to prepare for St George Girls 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.

  • Grow comprehension and reasoning gradually rather than relying on short, intense study sessions.
  • Order your three preferences honestly, as the order can shape the offer you receive.
  • Don't treat online 'cut-off scores' as accurate, since none are officially published.
