The ACER Scholarship exam is used by many Australian schools to award academic scholarships, sat by students entering Years 5 through 10. It tests critical thinking, multi-step reasoning, and pattern detection rather than pure content recall — Mocky generates a fresh mock test every time your child practises, calibrated to the same difficulty and style as the real exam.

What's on the exam

Reading and Viewing (Primary) / Humanities (Secondary)

Primary entry (Years 5-6) is tested as Reading and Viewing; Secondary entry (Years 7-10) is tested as Humanities. Both assess comprehension and critical reading of unfamiliar texts.

Mathematics

Non-routine problem solving across number, algebra, measurement, and geometry — calibrated to your child's entry year level.

Writing (Primary) / Writing Expression (Secondary)

A written response task, scored by AI against the same marking criteria used for the real exam, with detailed feedback on structure, language, and ideas.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between Primary and Secondary ACER Scholarship?

Primary applies to students entering Years 5-6 and is tested as Reading and Viewing, Mathematics, and Writing. Secondary applies to students entering Years 7-10 and is tested as Humanities, Mathematics, and Writing Expression. Mocky automatically matches the right subjects and difficulty to whichever entry year you select.

How long is the ACER Scholarship exam?

Timing varies by year level and school, but Mocky's practice tests use realistic time limits so your child can build genuine exam-condition stamina.

How is the Writing task scored?

Mocky scores written responses with AI, rubric-matched to the marking criteria ACER Scholarship examiners use, and gives specific feedback rather than just a number.

How many practice tests should my child do before the real exam?

There's no fixed number — Mocky generates a new, non-repeating test each time, so your child can practise as often as needed without ever seeing the same questions twice.
