Testing Preparation

Scholarship Testing Preparation

Mathematics, General Ability, English & Writing

 

3 hours


The Scholarship Testing Preparation Course is directed towards Year 5 and 6 students who wish to obtain full or partial scholarships at private schools like Westbourne Grammar School, Penleigh and Essendon Grammar School, Wesley College, Melbourne Grammar School and Melbourne Girls' Grammar School. The course focuses heavily on the creative writing and problem solving components of the test. Although each school has their own test format, we aim to provide a general overview of all components of all tests. This will allow all students to be universally prepared for all scholarship tests given to them.

Upon completion of the course, students will:

  • Develop a solid understanding of all key components in all scholarship tests;

  • Gain a general idea of the format of all scholarship tests;

  • Understand the concepts behind solving mathematical problems;

  • Develop better reading, writing and spelling skills; and

  • Be able to work under time limits with accuracy.
