Common questions
How is Selective preparation different from OC?
The Selective test adds a writing section and the questions are more demanding, so we put extra focus on writing and on working under time pressure.
Can my child do Selective and school work together?
Yes. Lessons are planned so students keep up with school while preparing for the test.
How much does it cost?
Fees depend on your child's program, year level and whether lessons are at the centre, online or at home. Book a free consultation or send us a message and we'll give you a clear price.
