A complete, structured prep program for Year 5 students aiming for placement at top NSW selective high schools — James Ruse, North Sydney Girls, Baulkham Hills, Hornsby Girls and beyond.
The 2027 Selective Test runs in computer-based format. Our program mirrors that structure exactly.
Inference, vocabulary in context, author's purpose, structural understanding. We focus on speed reading with a question filter active.
Year 5 syllabus content with reasoning emphasis. Multi-step worded problems, ratios, percentages, geometric reasoning.
The most distinctive section. Logical deduction, syllogisms, conditional logic, sequence patterns, assumption identification.
One stimulus, one extended response, 30 minutes. The marker rewards structure, vocabulary range and precise mechanics.
Every week your child works through the same four-step rhythm. By test day it feels mechanical, not stressful.
Each week starts with a short diagnostic on the previous week's content. We see exactly what stuck and what didn't.
Targeted teaching block based on the diagnostic. We don't waste time on what your child has already mastered.
Question-type-specific drills under timed conditions. We build pattern recognition across all four modules.
Take-home pack with worked solutions. Parent gets a written update on what was covered and what to watch for.
"Within 3 months, my son's thinking skills scores went from average to outstanding. He got into James Ruse and we're still in disbelief."
"My daughter was always strong in maths but reading comprehension was holding her back. Six months later she scored top 5% and got into Hornsby Girls."
"They were upfront with us. Told us where she was, what was realistic, and what she had to do. She got into Girraween and we knew it was earned."
Most families start in early Year 5, but motivated students can start late Year 4. We can give you a clearer answer after a free diagnostic.
No reputable tutoring service can or should. What we guarantee is honest assessment, a structured program, and the same method that has produced our placement rate.
The test runs in computer-based format. Our 2027 program uses the same on-screen interface students will see on test day, with full mock simulations.
Yes. Most of our Year 4 OC students continue straight into Selective prep. The skills overlap significantly and the early start is a big advantage.
