Selective High School Exam takes place Thursday 14 March 2019.

To gain entry all students are ranked and placed in order of academic merit. Academic merit is normally decided by combining the results of the primary school assessments in English and mathematics with the results of the Selective High School Placement Test. This combination is expressed as a calculated placement score out of 300.

Test Day- test components include multiple-choice questions in reading (45 questions), mathematics (40 questions) and general ability (60 questions). The writing test is 20 minutes long.

At accelerate we pride ourselves in laying the foundations for students to receive the best possible chance of entry to selective schools. We use multiple forms of assessment to target areas for improvement.
