PLEASE NOTE

This is not an official test and does not predict a score or a place. Selective tests change each year and are set by the relevant education authority, so check the official information. Australian English. Created with AI assistance, then checked: maths answers were worked out by a program and checked by hand, ordering and logic puzzles were solved by a program to confirm one answer, and information texts were reviewed for accuracy. A parent or teacher should still read it through. Digital download, no physical item. Personal and single-classroom use; please do not resell or share the file.
