Who it is for

Built for the year between the test and high school.

Most students join in the middle of Year 6, the week selective preparation ends. A Year 7 student who wants the foundations properly done is welcome in the same room.

Year 6

Heading to high school

The selective test is done and the rest of Year 6 is quiet. Rather than lose those two terms, your child spends them learning the maths that the first year of high school is built on.

Joins from the middle of Term 2.

Selective prep graduates

Keeping the momentum

Students coming out of Selective Mastery are used to working hard every week. This keeps that habit pointed at something useful instead of letting it go flat over two terms.

Same teachers, same small classes.

Year 7

Filling the gaps early

A Year 7 student who found algebra or geometry shaky can sit the same course and repair the foundations before Year 8 makes them matter more.

More from parents and students.

Good test material. Helps to prepare for the real test. Recommended for all.

Sandeep Deshpande

great tests. the worked solutions are good, especially for maths because it is handwritten and detailed so my son can learn by himself. thinking skills can get hard.

Steven Handel

Nice tests and good online platform, recommend.

Pedram Mohammadi

Really nice tests. But wow, some of the thinking skills were really hard for me and my daughter. The math questions at the end of tests are also hard and creative.

Theresa Cooke

Hard to find websites that offer quality selective tests for a reasonable price so I'm really glad I found this one. My son loves the layout of the website and the formatting makes the content more enjoyable for him.

Adam Nguyen

This is great. I am a student in year 6 and now I feel very confident.

Parthib Hasnat

Quality test material at an affordable price. I bought Selective test modules for my son. The questions are a good mix of various styles and difficulty levels. A detailed explanation of answers is a big plus. Highly recommended.

Senthil K Sarangapani

Great platform and easy to use. Highly recommend and super affordable.

Michael Farah

Bought this recently for the selective test coming soon and my child is super happy with the questions and the explanations. The platform is amazing to use.

Bahariyeh A Arabi

Test academy is a great package, it helped my sibling a lot with preparing for the selective tests. Many other places are too expensive and don't have quality material, or some don't even have answers. But when I found Test Academy, my problems were solved. Answers to all the questions, which was beneficial because there were a lot of difficult and challenging questions, so the solutions helped my sister understand how to answer the question. Great Value for money, and very satisfied with the test material

Riley Luxmoore

Dev is using this for the last 2 weeks and is finding challenging and useful. I highly recommend this website. And for me as a father it’s has great customer service.

Tanuj Sharma

Arya truly care about their students success, and it shows. Thank you for being such a great teacher and role model. Really appreciate for supporting everyone. Thanks alot.🙏😃

Stuti Agrawal

It's helped me a lot with preparation for the selective test and it's taken a lot of pressure off my shoulders

Idin Zah

Testacademy is excellent. Very resourceful and helpful for my kid. It builds confidence in his selective test. He enjoys practising tests and writing task. There are many coaching centres and online test packs. But Test Academy provides questions way similar to Selective test and their team have motto of each and every kid should have access to it.

Padmashree Rao

After my son had a very bad experience on another platform, I decided to try test academy and he is very happy now. The platform is well designed and fast, questions are very interesting, and the explanations are really helpful. I think the tests are a bit more difficult than the past NSW selective papers, but this is a good thing because my son will be more prepared for the real thing. The writing system is also amazing, my son is actually starting to enjoy writing now and the feedback has helped him improve. Totally worth the price!

Laetitia Fishcer

Excellent platform to help kids for selective exam. The team understands what exactly a student requires to prepare and provide as much as related straight forward assistance via platform.

Trupti Kotadia

Excellent platform, interface and questions for selective prep. Solutions are simple and easy to understand in steps. Great for building confidence in children, my child’s confidence has improved. I really liked the feedback provided and model writing provided for writing. Thanks Arya for your kindness and generosity.. I wish the whole team all the best!

Kulbir Kaur

We’re so proud of our daughter’s progress in thinking skills where she used to struggle. Thanks to the support from test academy, she went into the selective test feeling prepared and walked out confident in her performance. The improvement has been amazing, huge thanks to the team for helping her reach this point!

Annie Yuan

The platform really helped my son get into the top writing band in selective tests 2025. Amazing team who took our feedback on the platform and also implemented possible ones. Big shout out the entire crew!

Manju Muralidharan

We’ve had such a positive experience with Test Academy Tutoring run by Arya and Aryan. The flexiclasses have been a particularly helpful addition, offering that extra layer of support to further enhance both our kids’ capacities. The flexible nature of the program means they can focus on areas where progress is needed, while still maintaining consistency with the theory being covered. What really stands out is the dedication and care Arya and Aryan put into every session. They create an encouraging environment where the kids feel motivated and supported, and it’s clear how much thought and effort goes into their approach. We’re so grateful for the way they nurture learning while ensuring steady progress is made.

Sahba Danesh

Great Selective Course and easy to access thanks.

Yves Zheng

Great practice test and affordable, highly recommended

Anita

Online bundle is very useful for practise.

Poongodi Saravanan

We are so happy with test academy for selective test preparation. The teacher is incredible and our daughter actually say she looks forward to class. The technology they use is advanced, nothing like anything I have seen. Online student platform is very useful for her practice. Other big tutoring centres we went to for long time before here are way behind. She has made major improvements in her weakest sections and is more confident now. Thank you.

Daniel Lao

Test Academy’s teachers are compassionate, knowledgeable, and creative. My daughter’s confidence in maths grew significantly in just one term, and her second school report clearly showed a meaningful improvement in her mathematical skills. My son, even though he is in kindergarten and not usually a fan of school, absolutely loves his classes at Test Academy and remembers what he learns there. We are very grateful for the supportive and inspiring environment they create for children.

Simin Gouran

A very effective platform for Studies. It provides clear insights into a student’s performance, including strengths, gaps, and trends, along with helpful explanations for incorrect answers. Highly appreciated.

Jibran Sabir

The best selective test tutors we've had and the test academy student platform is super fun and useful.

Idin Zah

The way they teach is so fun and engaging, I learn so quickly and I actually look forward to my classes.

Armin Zah

My son is extremely engaged preparing for selective at testacademy and actually looks forward to class. So many places have qualified teachers but his teacher here has the fancy resume and can actually teach complex topics very clearly. Great culture and always feel updated as a parent.

“The secret weapon every student should have” Dear Test Academy, This letter is to show my gratitude towards you, for helping me with my high school admissions. You have given me excellent academic adventures to go on even when I didn't feel confident at the beginning. This progress was beyond insane, so instead of keeping this joy all to myself, I thought "Why not share it with the people who were instrumental in my success?" I really hope you do read this... because trust me, you need to. It will make you as happy as I am! It all started last year, when I started working on my Selective exam. At this point I was terrified of the examination process as well as all the competition.I didn't know where to begin. It all felt very overwhelming. My dad asked one of his friends, whose son got into Selective, for some ideas. They said "Oh, I know the perfect website for you guys", and recommended Test Academy. Now, Test Academy, I'm not trying to be rude to you guys, but at first, I was as petrified as a cat! I wouldn't even come near it, since I was too afraid that I might get a bad score. However, that didn't stop my parents from encouraging me to try them out. So I thought, "Maybe I'll just go for it. My parents paid for the tests, and I don't wanna disappoint them," I started with scores around 35%, and 40%, and I would cry because of the terrible scores. I thought that I would do very badly in my actual exams, but I kept going. Your explanations and answers for the test questions really helped me out, and taught me along the way. As I continued, something surprising happened, I realised that the more I did them, the higher my scores were getting. My parents were right all this time. Eventually, I stopped feeling afraid to take on the challenges that you have to offer. Now, I apologize in advance if this letter is too long, but I have excellent news to share with you. I sat some ACER and AAS exams, to try and win a scholarship. A scholarship is not a joke. It's an amazing thing to achieve. When I was doing the exams though, I went from thinking in the worst case scenario to a positive mindset. Because of this, the news was A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. I got the results from three schools, Tara Anglican, Santa Sabina, and Northholm Grammar. At Tara, I was in the top four per cent in almost everything. In Santa Sabina, I did exceptionally well, but the best outcome was from Northholm Grammar. I was ecstatic beyond words, because a scholarship was something I have always wanted. Now, just remember this. The reason why I got this is because of you. You were the ones who made me smarter, who made me go through the real exam vibe, and made me grow to where I stand today. I hope this boosts your reputation, and when I grow older, I will definitely make sure to tell my younger friends about you. I still have my upcoming Selective Exam, but I feel very confident that I will do well in the test. Thank you for everything you have done for me. Yours sincerely, Akshaya Valluri PS: When the results for the selective examinations came in, I was on the wait-list for my top two choices, but got an offer from Penrith. Mind you, I was spending upwards of 20 hours a week on my music, so I had relatively very little time to focus on the Selective exam. Having "Test Academy" in my toolkit allowed me to make the best use of what little time I had, and the practice was just so invaluable, that the results from the exam were very very positive. I recommend to everyone, irrespective of where you get your tutoring or training, sign up for Test Academy's practice tests and be religious about practicing and you will notice excellent progress in your scores. There are upwards of 200 exams in total and at the end of it all, you will be like a well trained warrior.

Rajesh & Akshaya Valluri

We had a really positive experience with Test Academy’s OC online test platform. We purchased the online test package for our son, and we’re very happy to share that he received an OC offer! 🎉 He really enjoyed doing the mock tests and found the platform easy to use, with good-quality questions. It helped him get familiar with the OC test format, question types and time management, while also building his confidence. We’re very happy with the support the platform provided during his preparation and would definitely recommend it to other parents preparing for the OC test.

Kamini Garg

Very clear tutors, taught my son so much!

Khatira Rahmani

Test Academy is a wonderful tutoring centre, filled with great strategies for studying, attitudes to learning, and others who think alike, as well as great tutors who teach students ahead of time, giving them an edge over their peers at school.

Questions

Things parents ask before they book.

High School Maths Mastery is designed for Year 6 students — especially those who have completed the selective test and are already confident with Year 6 maths content. It's ideal for students who want to stay challenged and hit the ground running when they start Year 7.

The course covers the full Year 7 NSW Mathematics syllabus. This includes algebra, negative numbers, fractions and decimals, ratios, coordinate geometry, angles, 2D and 3D shapes, area and volume, statistics and probability, and more. Students graduate from primary maths into genuine high school content.

The course begins the week of 11 May — part way through Term 2, after a one-week break following the selective test. This timing is intentional: students have just finished an intensive exam period and benefit from a brief reset before diving into new content.

No. While the course is timed around the selective test calendar, any Year 6 student who is confident with primary-level maths is welcome. The key requirement is readiness for Year 7 content, not selective test participation.

The content aligns with the NSW Year 7 syllabus, but students cover it months before their peers — giving them a significant head start. Classes are capped at 8 students, so they receive far more individual attention than a typical school classroom. Students enter Year 7 having already seen the material, which builds confidence and frees them to engage more deeply in class.

Classes are capped at 8 students. This small group size ensures every student receives meaningful attention and can ask questions without hesitation.

Each session runs for 2 hours. This gives students enough time to learn new concepts, work through guided examples, and complete practice problems — without the fatigue of a longer class.

Both. Students can attend in-person at our Parramatta centre or join online. You can switch between formats with notice to our admin team if your circumstances change.

We've built in a one-week break after the selective test before the course begins. The course itself is also a change of pace — instead of timed exam drills, students explore new mathematical concepts at a depth that's genuinely engaging. Most students find it refreshing rather than exhausting.

With a maximum of 8 students per class, our tutors can identify and address gaps quickly. If a student needs extra support on a particular concept, their tutor will provide targeted guidance during and after the session. The dashboard also tracks progress so parents can see exactly where their child stands.

Yes — mid-term enrolment is available. Families pay pro-rata for the remaining sessions in the term, so you're never charged for classes that have already passed.

The Test Academy dashboard gives parents a clear view of their child's performance — including topic-by-topic progress, assessment results, and personalised teacher feedback after every session.

Just stationery, a snack, and water. All printed materials, worksheets, and resources are provided by us.

We offer a free first session subject to availability. It's a no-commitment way to see if the course is the right fit for your child.

Yes. We offer a 5% sibling discount when two or more children from the same family are enrolled, and a 5% returning student discount for families re-enrolling with us. Multi-term discounts are also available during online enrolment.

All the details

A Year 7 maths head start for Year 6 students, explained properly.

For parents thinking about the transition to high school maths, with or without a selective school in the picture. Dates come from the NSW Department of Education and are current as at September 2026.

The nine months nobody plans for

The Selective High School Placement Test is sat in early May of Year 6. Outcomes for 2027 entry came out on 19 August 2026, and Term 1 of Year 7 starts in late January. That leaves a Year 6 student who has spent a year preparing for a test with the best part of nine months of nothing much, right before the biggest change in how they are taught. This course is built for that window. It starts after the May test and runs through Terms 2, 3 and 4, so the student arrives at high school in February already fluent in the Year 7 syllabus. It is not a selective test course; the department says the placement test does not measure knowledge of the school curriculum, and this is curriculum. It is what comes after the test, whichever school the offer is from. The calendar is on the department's application process page.

What Year 7 maths actually is

NSW Stage 4 maths sits in three strands: Number and Algebra, Measurement and Space, and Statistics and Probability. Across Year 7 that means integers and signed arithmetic, fractions, decimals and percentages at speed, ratio, index notation and the index laws, algebraic expressions and expanding, solving linear equations, the Cartesian plane and linear relationships, angles and geometry, area and perimeter, and an introduction to data and probability. Alongside the content sits Working Mathematically, the syllabus component that assesses reasoning and problem solving, which is why Year 7 assessments look nothing like a Year 6 test. The topics students find hardest are algebra and equations, because variables are the first genuinely abstract idea they meet, followed by fractions and ratio when they turn up inside algebra. Those are the topics this course gives the most time to.

Will they be bored in Year 7?

The honest answer is that depth and preview are different things. A student who has raced through the topics once will be bored and possibly careless. A student who has understood why expanding works, can factorise by highest common factor, and has solved equations both ways is not bored in Year 7; they are the one the teacher asks to explain it. That is the difference between acceleration and a head start, and the syllabus below is written for the first. Research on acceleration for students selected on readiness finds no harm to social or emotional development, and the same research warns against accelerating a child who is not ready, which is what the free trial class and the first weeks are for.

How the course runs

One 2.5 hour class a week during term, in Parramatta or online, in small groups. Term 2 starts the week after the selective test with a fast revision of number and the first real algebra: variables, substitution, like terms, expanding and index notation. Term 3 goes deeper into the index laws, algebraic fractions, negative numbers and solving equations, then linear relationships on the Cartesian plane. Term 4 covers geometry, measurement, data and probability, with an introduction to Year 8 topics for students who are ready. Each term ends with a test and a review week, and homework is set every week with the parent dashboard showing what was covered and how it went. Year 7 students who want to shore up foundations and stay ahead are also welcome, and are placed by a short assessment rather than by age. Providers call this a bridging course or a transition to high school course; it is both, and the maths is the whole of it.

Is it still relevant for a selective school student

Yes, and it is usually the first question after an August offer. Stage 4 is the same syllabus at every NSW school; what changes at a selective school is the pace and how much is assumed. A student who arrives already fluent in Year 7 content spends Term 1 settling into a new school rather than catching up in it. For a student going to a local or private high school, the same fluency is what puts them in the top maths class from the first assessment.

Parramatta, Western Sydney and online

The centre is at Suite 107, 18-20 Ross Street, Parramatta, a short walk from the station, with families from Harris Park, Westmead, Granville, Rosehill, North Parramatta and across Western Sydney; online classes run the same session live with the same teacher.
