Targeted preparation for the NSW OC Placement Test. Three test components, weekly mock exams under real conditions, and a full performance report after every session.
Year 5 Entry in 2027 • Computer-based test at external centres
Students currently in Year 3 or Year 4 preparing for the NSW Opportunity Class Placement Test. The test determines entry into Year 5 OC classes at 77+ NSW public primary schools.
No commitment required. Your child takes adaptive tests across all OC components — you receive a full Cognitive Strategy Report showing exactly where they stand. Then you decide.
Timed practice matching the real OC test format — Reading, Math Reasoning, and Thinking Skills under exam conditions. 3 hours: exam + teacher-led review of every question.
After each trial, the teacher walks through every mistake in class. No guesswork at home — the full 3 hours are exam + guided review.
After each trial, you receive a full report: ranking against peers, score breakdown by subject, time analysis per question, and a weakness map. You see exactly where your child stands.
After class, students receive curated online problem sets on key topics. Once completed, these automatically enter the Spaced Review System — resurfacing at optimal intervals so nothing fades before test day.
