Edutest-style preparation
Edutest-style practice is usually broad, with reading comprehension, mathematics, verbal reasoning, numerical reasoning and written expression. Students need to switch quickly between language and number-based tasks.
Scholarship test formats
Edutest vs ACER vs AAS scholarship tests
Private schools may use different scholarship testing providers. The names can be confusing for families, but the preparation themes are familiar: reading, mathematics, reasoning and written expression, with different emphasis by provider.
ACER-style preparation
ACER-style preparation is often more focused on mathematical thinking, humanities-style comprehension and reasoning, and written expression. Students should practise interpreting information carefully.
AAS-style preparation
AAS-style preparation commonly includes reading, mathematics, general reasoning and written expression. Students benefit from balanced practice across core academic and reasoning skills.
Preparation checklist
What to focus on
- If the school names Edutest: Prioritise broad five-part practice and quick movement between sections.
- If the school names ACER: Emphasise mathematical reasoning, humanities-style comprehension and controlled writing.
- If the school names AAS: Balance reading, mathematics, general reasoning and written expression.
- If the provider is unknown: Use a complete mixed pack so students are not overprepared for only one style.
