The exam

What we’re actually selecting for.

Not just marks. The entrance exam looks for the things that make an accelerated room work: speed with fundamentals, appetite for unfamiliar problems, and the work ethic to keep pace. Plenty of capable students belong in our standard stream — the A-Class is for those ready to be pushed by the room itself.

  • 90-minute written paper — mathematical reasoning and scientific thinking (short answer and extended response ONLY — no multiple guess!)
  • Sat at our Parramatta campus — Sunday, September 20
  • No preparation materials required — it measures readiness, not revision
  • Every applicant receives an outcome; those below the bar are offered a standard-stream position
  • The exam fee is fully deducted from your first term's fees if the student enrols

The room

What A-Class students get.

01Accelerated depth

The full syllabus, faster — with time reclaimed for the discriminating questions that separate Band 6 from state ranks.

02The cohort effect

The fastest way to improve is to sit next to someone chasing the same thing. Every seat in the room raises the standard.

03Band 6 questions from week one

Exam-grade problems from the start, not saved for revision season.

04The same Sigma engine

Marked weekly homework, spot tests, full course recordings and 24/7 support — at A-Class pace.
