Writing Feedback with NSW Marking Criteria
Every writing response is marked against NSW Selective Set A (Content & Style) and Set B (Technical Accuracy), with specific strengths and areas to improve.

The real NSW selective test is now computer-based. Our full-length mock tests mirror the exact format: reading, maths, thinking skills, and typed writing with timed sections and section-level scoring.
Revision: Turn Mistakes Into Mastery
Every wrong answer is saved for review. Re-attempt them anytime, practise similar questions on the same concept, and see a clear "mastered" count rising as your child improves.
Focused Practice on Weak Areas
Parent analytics identify weak topics down to subtopic level. Jump straight to targeted practice on specific skills like 'Fractions - Equivalence' or 'Deductive Reasoning'.

“I have been using SelectiveGuru for the past couple of months, and this is what I like about it. The thing I love the most about SelectiveGuru is how neat and organised it is. I can easily find everything I need. Another thing I like about it is how it tells you what you got wrong and explains how you got wrong. Thank you, team SelectiveGuru.”

“SelectiveGuru is a great platform, has lots of thoughtful features.”
Susan D.
Parent
“My kid enjoyed the learning journey with SelectiveGuru. It’s especially helpful in building ‘screen stamina’ and getting comfortable with the actual test format. Lots of value add, from mini tests to drills to typing to mock exams. Definitely a good supplement for kids preparing for selective.”
Tim V.
Parent
“My daughter used SelectiveGuru for about 10 days before her selective exam and found it very useful. The Strategy Lab sessions helped her learn effective ways to approach questions, the Vocabulary Bank introduced new words for her writing, and the typing practice improved her WPM. Structured and helpful, even in a short period.”
Dinesh J.
Parent
“Excellent, comprehensive and a more economical option than other famous in-person options.”

Built by NSW Parents
SelectiveGuru was born from frustration. As parents preparing our child for the NSW Selective test, we saw them bouncing between random worksheets and weekend cramming, never really understanding why an answer was wrong.
So we built this: short daily practice sets with AI explanations that match the exact mistake your child made, plus parent analytics that make next steps crystal clear.
Clarity over hype, Explain the misconception, not just the answer
Habits over cramming, 10-15 minutes a day, consistently
Privacy by default, Parents control accounts and data
