How it works

A science-backed approach with a simple goal: build the plan that gets your child to their potential

The OC and Selective tests come down to mastery of a specific set of skills. Our learning loops build understanding and clearly show you the progress.

What parents and children are saying

Hundreds of NSW children are training for the OC and Selective tests here — and their parents can see it working

My daughter used to freeze the moment the countdown timer started. After a few practice tests here, she's pacing herself with real confidence. So glad we found this before the actual test!
— LH, parent
I can't believe I'm saying this about test prep, but it was actually fun.
— RF, student
The parent report confirmed what I'd seen in my child's progress, showed me we were focusing on the right areas — and gave me suggestions I'd never have thought of myself.
— KB, parent
Fantastic preparation for the OC test. Our son came out of the real exam saying it felt just like his practice tests — same style of questions, same level of difficulty.
— TM, parent
I love the format of the tests and mini tests — and the reports show me exactly how my son is performing.
— SA, parent
We never needed a tutor. The platform covered maths and thinking skills on its own — all it took was a little encouragement from us at home.
— DJ, parent
We've tried other online platforms, and this stands well above the rest, especially the reading section.
— NP, parent

SEE THE REAL FORMAT

Try a question in the real digital format

The OC and Selective tests are sat on a computer. This is what a question looks like — with the instant feedback and worked explanation your child gets on every one.

Thousands more like this across Maths, Reading and Thinking Skills — and a plan that decides which ones your child should do this week.

"Students who took standardised tests on computers for the first time performed as if they'd had 5 fewer months of preparation in maths and 11 fewer months in reading."

That's why every Sharp Minds Club test runs in the real digital format, and why the plan spaces practice and gives feedback straight away — the OC and Selective tests are sat on a computer, so that's how your child trains.
