Too many families know the cycle: expensive tutoring, weekend-long practice tests, tears at the kitchen table. There's a better way.
The old way
50-question timed tests that simulate exam pressure and create anxiety before the real thing even starts
A better way
10 questions at a time, with clear explanations — so your child actually understands each concept
The old way
$100–200/hr for a tutor, or thousands per year for a coaching college — and you still need to drive them there

“My daughter actually asks to do her PrepHQ questions now. It's the only exam prep that hasn't ended in tears.”

Private tutors charge $100–200 per hour. Coaching colleges cost $2,000–5,000 per year. PrepHQ gives your child access to thousands of explained practice questions for far less.
Start with short, regular practice sessions rather than long cramming blocks. PrepHQ offers 10-question sessions with step-by-step explanations covering the key domains tested by providers like ACER, Edutest, and AAS — including Verbal Reasoning, Numerical Reasoning, Abstract Reasoning, and Written Expression.
ACER, Edutest, and AAS are the three main scholarship test providers used by Australian private schools. All assess similar skills — maths, English, and reasoning — but differ in question style and format. ACER (including ACER HAST) emphasises higher-order thinking, Edutest tends toward curriculum-aligned questions, and AAS focuses on reasoning and problem solving. PrepHQ covers all three formats. Compare the three tests side by side.
It depends on the private school your child is applying to — each school chooses its own test provider. Some use ACER, others use Edutest or AAS, and a few use more than one. Use our free School Checker Tool to find out which test your school requires.
PrepHQ covers Years 1 through 6, aligned with the Australian Curriculum. We also offer targeted practice for ACER, ACER HAST, Edutest, and AAS scholarship exams, which most students sit in Year 5 or 6 for Year 7 entry.
Each session is 10 questions and typically takes 5–10 minutes. Sessions are designed to fit into spare moments — on the bus, between activities, or before bed.
