About the Edutest Exam
Edutest is an independent Australian testing organisation that runs scholarship and entrance tests for about 160 client schools (164 were listed in October 2026), including independent schools, government select-entry programs and the Queensland Academies. The battery combines Ability tests (Verbal Reasoning and Numerical Reasoning) with Achievement tests (Reading Comprehension, Mathematics and Written Expression). Each multiple-choice test lasts 30 minutes and contains 40 to 60 questions, so time pressure is strong. Results are compared with students in the same year level across Australia, and each school sets its own criteria for offers. Victoria's Year 9 selective entry exam is run by ACER, not Edutest.
