What Parents Notice After Their Child Starts Practising

“After a few weeks of regular practice, she became noticeably more confident and better at managing her time in the tests.”— Sarah M.
“What I liked about Test Magic was that my son could practise independently. … He could complete a test, see how he performed and then go back to work on his weaker areas.”— Priya S.
“My child didn’t use every single test, but the ones he completed were very helpful for building speed and finding his weak areas.”— K. Wong, Dad
“By the actual test, Levis felt much more comfortable with the format. The detailed reports helped us focus on his weaker areas.”— Janice, Sydney

Every test tells you what to work on next

A practice paper on its own tells you a score. The report tells you what to do about it.

Chance of a Selective offer, paper by paperEach score is placed on the offer bands for the test, from Below standard to Confidence, so you can see where your child sits today. It is a guide only, not a promise of a place, and it firms up as more papers are done.
Marked the moment it is submittedNo waiting and no marking for you. The score, the number right and the time taken are on screen the second your child presses submit.
Marked the moment it is submitted
Every topic scored, one by oneThe radar shows which topics are strong and which are weak, so the next session has a purpose instead of being more of the same.

What You Should Know Before Subscribing

Are these papers designed for the NSW Selective School Test?
Yes. They are exam-style practice papers in Reading, Mathematical Reasoning and Thinking Skills, timed and done on screen, designed to reflect the style of the computer-based NSW Selective test.
Will Test Magic actually help my child improve?
Test Magic makes practice targeted. After each paper, your child sees their score, weaker topics and worked solutions, and you can track across papers whether their results are improving.
Will practice improve their chance of a Selective offer?
Regular, targeted practice helps your child build accuracy, speed and their weaker skills, and each report shows an offer-band guide. A place depends on the official placement process and your child’s performance on the day, so no practice can guarantee an offer.
How will I know they’re improving?
Don’t rely on one score. Test Magic keeps every result, and the My Results page shows scores by subject, strengths, what to practise next and the offer-band guide across papers.
What does my child get from each practice paper?
Each paper can be sat as many times as your child likes, and comes with:
  • Score and time taken
  • Strengths and weaknesses on a topic radar chart
  • Chance of a Selective offer, as a guide
  • A comparison with other students
  • Worked solutions for every wrong answer
  • Progress tracking across papers
  • Magi Tutor explanations
How many papers should they practise each week?
Two or three a week is a good start, for example one of each subject, with time between papers to review the report and the worked solutions. Your child can do more closer to test day.
Should my child just keep doing more papers to improve?
Not necessarily. Review each report, understand the mistakes, then use the next paper to apply what they learned.Test → Find gaps → Learn → Practise → Measure improvement
What is Magi Tutor?
Your child’s on-demand helper. After a paper, your child presses “Ask Magi” on the results page, and Magi explains any question step by step. Plans include 100 to 1,200 Magi Tutor credits, depending on the plan. 100 credits is about 60 question explanations.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. You can cancel anytime, and you won’t be charged for the next payment period.
Is the payment secure?
Yes. Payment is handled by Stripe. We never see or store your card details.
