Practice tests matched to the real ACER Selective Entry exam sat by Year 8 students competing for Year 9 entry to Victoria's selective-entry high schools.
Year 9 entry (sat in Year 8) · 14-day free trial, no credit card required.
Victoria's selective-entry high schools — including Melbourne High School, Mac.Robertson Girls' High School, and others — use the ACER Selective Entry exam to assess Year 8 students competing for Year 9 places. It's a high-stakes, highly competitive exam built around higher-order thinking rather than curriculum recall. MockyTest generates fresh practice tests matched to its real format and difficulty.
Non-routine, multi-step problem solving at a level designed to differentiate top-performing students.
Logical reasoning with numbers and data, assessed alongside but distinct from standard Mathematics, matching ACER's own exam-format terminology.
Close reading and interpretation of unfamiliar texts under time pressure.
Language-based logic and pattern questions assessed alongside Reading.
A scored writing task with AI feedback on structure, language, and ideas.
Selective entry high schools like Melbourne High and Mac.Robertson Girls' admit students purely by exam performance rather than zoning. Places are limited and competition is high, so consistent, realistic practice matters.
Students sit the ACER Selective Entry exam in Year 8, competing for a Year 9 place. MockyTest lets you select "Year 9 Entry" and calibrates content to what a Year 8 student is expected to know.
Quantitative Reasoning tests logical and numerical reasoning — interpreting data, patterns, and relationships — while Mathematics tests direct problem-solving. Both are assessed in the real exam, and MockyTest generates practice for each separately.
Yes — both schools (and Victoria's other selective-entry high schools) use the same ACER Selective Entry exam, so the same practice tests apply regardless of which school your child is aiming for.
