We offer practice tests and feedback for students.
In our weekend practice test sessions, students can get valuable practice taking their test at our offices in test-like conditions. This helps students to be prepared by knowing what to expect, including the length of the test and the types and difficulty of questions. Parents and students will also receive feedback from one of our qualified teachers or senior tutors on what types of questions they were able to answer correctly and what types of questions on which the student may need to improve. The student can then do some self-study based on this feedback or book tutoring sessions (or use their currently booked sessions) to target their specific weak areas. We currently provide practice test sessions for the NAPLAN, Opportunity Class, and Selective Schools tests. See below for more information, including available dates and times.
HSC Practice Tests
In the school holidays prior to the HSC exams, we offer practice HSC exams in several subjects. These exams are custom written by our team and are provided to students at our centre under exam conditions. Our expert tutors then mark the exams and provide detailed feedback, allowing students to get an idea of how they may perform on the actual HSC exam and what areas and question types they can work on to improve. The cost is $100 per exam, which includes the written exam, reserved space under test conditions, and detailed marking and feedback.
We offer practice HSC exams for the following subjects:
- English (Studies, Standard, Advanced, Extension 1)
- Mathematics (Standard 1, Standard 2, Advanced, Extension 1)
- Sciences (Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Earth & Environmental Science, Investigating Science)
- PDHPE
Dates and times
Students can book any available practice HSC exam into any of the available session times. Each session is up to 180 minutes, but the student will be timed based on the length of the actual HSC exam for that subject.
The following session times are available in 2025. All exam blocks are held at our WYONG office:
