Scholarship tests are competitive entrance exams offered by independent and private schools across Australia to identify academically talented students for Year 7 entry.These tests are typically set by three major providers—ACER, Edutest, and Academic Assessment Services (AAS).
Scholarship tests for Year 7 entry are typically held between February and May for students currently in Year 5 or beginning Year 6. Test dates vary by school and testing provider, so check with your preferred schools early to avoid missing application deadlines. Applications usually open 12-18 months before entry.
Scholarship exams are highly competitive, with schools typically offering limited scholarships (often 1-3 places per year) to top-performing students. Strong preparation across all test areas—reading, mathematics, and reasoning —gives students the best chance to demonstrate their abilities and stand out from other applicants.
Most scholarship tests assess Reading Comprehension, Mathematical Reasoning, and Abstract/Logical Reasoning. Some schools also include Writing tasks. Test formats vary by provider, but all evaluate critical thinking, problem-solving, and academic aptitude. Check your school's specific requirements as test components may differ.
