Is this the official test?
No. AceTheirTest is an independent practice site, not affiliated with or endorsed by the NSW Department of Education. Our practice is written to match the skills the tests assess — critical thinking, problem solving, reading and mathematical reasoning. These are not past papers.
When are the tests?
The OC placement test is sat in Year 4 for a place in Year 5; the Selective placement test is sat in Year 6 for a place in Year 7. Check the NSW Department of Education website for this year's dates.
Can I cancel?
