For families in Western Sydney, Test Academy runs in-person Opportunity Class tutoring from our Parramatta centre. The OC Mastery class prepares Year 3 and Year 4 students for the NSW OC test under real exam conditions, taught by selective-school graduates and capped at a small group so every child is seen.
How a weekly session runs
Each session pairs timed testing with deep review, so children don’t just sit tests — they learn from them. The format alternates fortnightly to cover every section of the OC test thoroughly.
| Stage | What happens |
|---|---|
| Two timed tests | Students sit two tests under real exam conditions on provided computers, building stamina and timing. |
| Interactive review | Around two hours of interactive whiteboard review unpacks every question and the reasoning behind it. |
| Weekly alternation | Odd weeks focus on Reading + Mathematical Reasoning; even weeks on Thinking Skills + a custom Mastery Test targeting each child’s weak areas. |
| Support beyond class | Personalised printed booklets, targeted homework, LearningHub, student forum and 24/7 tutor support. |
Typical class-reported improvements over a term are Reading +4–8 marks, Thinking Skills +5–8 marks and Mathematical Reasoning +6–10 marks. These are typical ranges, not guarantees — every child progresses differently. Parents stay informed through a live dashboard, weekly analytics and an end-of-term parent-tutor consultation.
Pair class with practice between lessons
The strongest results come from combining the weekly class with independent practice in between. The OC practice bundle gives exam-accurate tests and analytics your child can work through at home, reinforcing each week’s focus. Outside Parramatta?

Starting earlier: the Advanced Concepts pathway
If your child is in mid-Year 3 or early Year 4 and not yet ready for the full OC Mastery program, the Advanced Concepts Class is the foundation pathway. Its 2.5-hour sessions (max 8 students) build Mathematics, Thinking Skills, English & Reading and Writing, leading naturally into OC Mastery.
