The Selective Mastery Holiday Class is a 3-day intensive program run during school holidays. Each day runs from 10:00 am to 4:30 pm and covers all four sections of the NSW Selective Test — timed practice in the morning on the Test Academy platform, then personalised interactive review in the afternoon while tutors analyse and print each student's results. Maximum 8 students per intake, with pizza lunch provided each day.
Who this course is for
- Year 5 and Year 6 students preparing for the NSW Selective High School Placement Test
- Students who want a realistic, full-length exam simulation with same-day expert review
- Students already in Selective Mastery seeking intensive diagnostic practice during holidays
- Students who benefit from seeing exactly where they lose marks and getting direct teaching on those points
Daily structure
Each of the 3 days follows the same structured format:
- 10:00 am — Arrival and login to the Test Academy platform
- 10:15 am – 1:15 pm — Timed tests across all four sections (Reading, Mathematical Reasoning, Thinking Skills, Writing) on the platform. Questions are written fresh for each session.
- ~1:15 pm – 1:45 pm — Pizza lunch break. During this time, tutors analyse each student's answers and print personalised booklets.
- ~1:45 pm – 4:30 pm — Interactive whiteboard review of all four sections. Tutors use each student's personalised booklet to deliver targeted teaching based on the morning's performance.
- ~4:30 pm — Wrap-up and personalised feedback
What makes this different
- Personalised printed booklets — each student gets a printed copy of their own answers, time-per-question data, and the review material tailored to their performance
- Fresh question banks every intake — no recycled tests; content is written specifically for each session
- Same-day analytics — performance data from the morning is used to drive the afternoon review
- Maximum 8 students — small enough for every student to receive direct attention
- 98+ ATAR tutors — all tutors achieved 98+ ATAR
