Why a Mock Test is essential:

The Opportunity Class (OC) and Selective High School exams are highly competitive, and well-prepared students have a distinct advantage.

Our free Mock Test offers your child the chance to:

  • Familiarise themselves with the format, timing, and question types they will encounter.
  • Practise under timed conditions, honing their ability to stay focused and manage time effectively.
  • Receive a performance report that provides detailed insights into their strengths and areas for improvement. 

Current students in Year 2 – 3 are invited to sit the Mock OC Test and those in Year 4 – 5 are invited to sit the Mock Selective High School Test.

Please note: This event is for non-Matrix students and is not beneficial for current Matrix students who have already covered the content.
