Free resources
Three interactive resources for families preparing for the OC and Selective tests. No email address, no sign-up, no account — open and start. Each page has a clean "Save as PDF" button for printing.
Thirteen real questions across Thinking Skills, Mathematical Reasoning and Reading, spanning Easy through Selective difficulty. Tap to answer, then see the full explanation — including why each wrong option is tempting.
Open resource →What to do in the week before, the night before, and on the morning — plus the two things worth telling your child before they walk in. Written for the parent, not the student.
Open resource →An eight-week grid plus weekly detail sheets. Built around short sessions and one full paper a fortnight — the pattern families actually keep to.
Open resource →Sit the sample pack cold, without notes and without help, and time it loosely at half an hour. The score does not matter and should not be recorded anywhere. What matters is the marking afterwards: go through the explanations together and sort every wrong answer into one of two piles — did not know it, or knew it and misread the question.
Those two piles need opposite treatment. The first is a teaching problem and belongs in the planner as a topic. The second is a habit problem, and no amount of extra practice fixes it — slowing down on the question stem does. In a test where most candidates know most of the content, the second pile is usually where the marks went.
Everything here is free to copy and print for your own family, or for a class if you teach one. If you want hundreds more questions of the same kind, with the difficulty adjusting as your child works, that is what the app does.
