Built by a tutor and assessment writer

Tutoring showed me the stress families carry into the selective exam. Assessment writing showed me what good preparation looks like: every skill taught, questions built to the real standard, and feedback that shows where to improve.

Vic Selective by Learning Design Co. brings both together, so a child's chance depends on their ability, not their family's budget.

FAQ

Questions parents ask

What does the exam involve?

The Victorian selective entry test for Year 9 has three sections: Mathematics and Quantitative Reasoning (60 minutes), Reading and Verbal Reasoning (55 minutes) and Writing (40 minutes, two tasks). The multiple-choice sections use options A to D. Every mock matches these sections and times.

How much time does it take each week?

In weeks 1 to 10, one Training Mock takes about 1 hour 35 minutes. In weeks 11 to 20, one Exam Day Mock takes about 2 hours 35 minutes. Add time to review the answers and practise in the Skills Bank.

What if we start late or fall behind?

You can enrol any time, and access lasts until exam day. The summer and Term 1 holidays are free of set work, so there is room to catch up. Your child can also do two mocks in some weeks, or focus on their weakest skills in the Skills Bank.

How does the money-back guarantee work?

If the program is not right for your family, email us within 3 days of first using your access code for a full refund. This is in addition to your rights under Australian Consumer Law.

Is my child's data safe?

There are no student accounts and no student data is stored. Results appear on screen during each session, and writing is self-marked, never sent to AI.

What devices does it work on?

Any modern web browser on a laptop, tablet or phone. A laptop or tablet is best for the Exam Day Mocks. Each enrolment works on up to 2 devices, such as a laptop and an iPad. If you change devices, you can move your access code yourself.
