How to prepare for Sydney Technical 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 broad ability across literacy and numeracy steadily rather than through last-minute drilling.
- List your preferences in honest order of fit, as the order can affect where you are offered.
- Disregard any online 'cut-off' score, since the Department of Education publishes none.
