NSW Selective · NAPLAN Years 3 & 5NSW Selective and NAPLAN, rehearsed the way they're actually sat — on screen, on the clock. Fourteen Selective tests that climb in difficulty, NAPLAN tests that branch mid-sitting like the real ones, and writing marked while they wait.
Limited launch offerFREEfor the first 300 studentsClaim a placeYour child reads an argument-analysis question and picks C. It's wrong. What happens in the next thirty seconds is the whole difference.
You find out it was wrong.
That's the end of the information.
You find out the right letter.
Still nothing about why.
You find out why, what the skill is called,
and where to practise it next.
A real question from the bank. The scores shown are illustrative.
Fourteen full practice tests across all four papers, scored the way the real one is.
Scored out of 100 — 25 per paper
Two-stage adaptive tests that branch on performance, reported in real ACARA proficiency levels.
Needs support → Developing → Strong → Exceeding
The same adaptive design, pitched at Year 3 — including spelling read aloud, as in the real test.

Aspirantz has a full tutor portal — not a spreadsheet export. Set the work, watch it land, and show parents the progress without handing anyone a password.
Every tutor is verified against a current Working with Children Check before they get access. That's why it's an application, not a signup form.
Since 2025 the Selective test is fully computer-based. Aspirantz runs the same way — a countdown clock, a question map they can open at any point, flag-for-review, a sticky reading passage, and every answer saved as they go. Exam day isn't the first time your child does this on a screen.
Writing is a quarter of the Selective score and the part most preparation quietly skips. Every response is marked against the five NSW criteria — a score and a written comment on each — plus two things that worked and three specific fixes, in the same sitting.
Not "Reading: 67%". Every completed test breaks down by skill category — which question types are a strength, which are developing, and which are costing marks — with a practice link straight into the weak one.
Illustrative examples — not a real student's results.
The Selective test is one fixed paper. NAPLAN adapts to the student mid-sitting. So the practice does too.
Each of the fourteen tests is sampled to a designed difficulty mix. The early ones build confidence; the last ones sit above the real paper. And across all fourteen, no question is ever served twice.
Real NAPLAN is multistage: how a student goes in the first set decides which second set they get. Aspirantz runs the same design — Testlet A, then a harder or an easier Testlet depending on the score — and reports in the real ACARA proficiency levels.
Exam preparation is a market with a lot of confident claims in it. Here are the four we've decided not to make.
Selective readiness is reported as a band from 1 to 5. NAPLAN uses the real ACARA proficiency levels. We never tell you your child is "in the top 12%" — we have no cohort to measure that against, and neither does anyone else selling you a number like it.
Every interface on this site is the real one. Where the numbers in a screen are an example rather than a real student, it says so directly underneath.
Aspirantz is independent. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the NSW Department of Education, ACER, or ACARA. Our questions are written to the published test format — they are not past papers.
Nobody can guarantee an offer from a selective school, and any service that implies it is selling you something it cannot deliver. What we can do is make sure the test itself holds no surprises.
Yes. Since 2025 the NSW Selective High School Placement Test is sat entirely on a computer at a test centre — four timed sections, with the writing response typed. That is the main reason a printed booklet prepares your child for less than it used to: it rehearses the questions but none of the conditions.
The Selective test is sat in Year 6, so Years 5 and 6 are the useful window — Year 5 if you want a long runway, Year 6 for focused preparation. NAPLAN sits in Years 3 and 5. If your child is older than Year 6 the Selective test has already passed, so we will not sign you up for it.
Right now, nothing. We are giving full access free to the first 300 students while we finish building. There is no card required and no trial that quietly converts. When that changes we will say so clearly and in advance — it will not happen to you mid-use.
Straight away, when you pick a specific exam. Your child's account is created the moment you register and we email you a set-your-own-password link. If you choose "Not sure", or a combination that needs a human look — "both exams" for a Year 7 student, say — a person checks it first, and you hear back within one to two business days.
Yes. Choose "Both Selective + NAPLAN" when you register and one account covers both — the full Selective course plus NAPLAN at your child's year level (Year 3 for Years 3–4, Year 5 for Years 5–6). It still counts as a single free place.
No, and we would be careful with anyone who says they can. Offers depend on the whole cohort in a given year, not on a fixed mark. What preparation can genuinely change is how much of the test is unfamiliar on the day — the format, the timing, the question types, and the specific skills your child is weakest at.
Yes, and it works best that way. Tutors can run their own students on Aspirantz through a dedicated portal — assigning tests and writing tasks, reviewing every question afterwards, and sharing a read-only progress link with you. Ask your tutor to apply, or register your child yourself and use it alongside your sessions.
They are written to the published NSW test format and structure — they are not past papers, and no genuine archive of real Selective papers is publicly available. Each test holds a fixed category mix modelled on the real one, and across all fourteen tests no question is ever repeated.
Your child, you, and a tutor only if you have chosen to work with one through the portal. Results are never published, ranked against other students, or shared with schools. The parent progress link is a private, expiring, read-only page — it can be revoked at any time.
Start with the warm-up. Sixty questions, untimed, across twenty skill areas — and a readiness band for each subject at the end of it.
Pick an exam and register — the set-your-own-password email arrives straight away. No card, nothing to install.
