Welcome to PrepHQ
If you're reading this, you've already taken an important step: choosing practice that builds understanding, not stress. PrepHQ is designed to make exam preparation feel manageable — for both you and your child.
Here's how to get the most out of it.
Setting Up
Creating an account takes about 30 seconds. You'll need:
- An email address
- Your child's year level (Years 1–6)
- The assessment type they're preparing for (Victorian Curriculum, ACER, or Edutest)
Once you're in, your child can start their first practice session straight away.
How Practice Sessions Work
Each session is 10 questions. That's it. Most students finish in 5–10 minutes, depending on the subject and their year level.
Why 10 questions? Because short, focused sessions lead to better retention than long, exhausting ones. Your child can practise on the bus, in the car, or while waiting at the dentist — anywhere they have a few spare minutes.
Making the Most of Explanations
This is where PrepHQ really shines. Every single question comes with a detailed explanation — not just the correct answer, but a step-by-step breakdown of how to solve it.
Encourage your child to:
- Read the explanation even when they get it right — understanding why they got it right reinforces learning
- Take their time — there's no timer pressure, so they can work through each explanation at their own pace
- Come back to tricky topics — the progress page shows which areas need more attention
Subjects and Assessment Types
PrepHQ covers six subjects across multiple assessment formats:
| Subject | Victorian Curriculum | ACER | Edutest |

Building a Routine
The students who improve the most aren't the ones who practise for hours on weekends. They're the ones who do a little bit every day.
A good routine might look like:
- One session per day (10 questions, 5–10 minutes)
- Mix up the subjects — don't just practise what they're already good at
- Check the progress page weekly — celebrate improvements and identify areas that need attention
You've Got This
Test preparation doesn't have to be stressful. With consistent, bite-sized practice and a focus on understanding, your child will build genuine confidence — the kind that lasts well beyond the exam.
