Everything Else You Need

Everything you need to prepare for the NSW selective test, from daily practice to full mock exams.

4000+ NSW Selective Test Questions

Practice reading, thinking skills, and maths with questions calibrated to the real NSW selective school test, plus explanations that match the option your child picked.

Personalised Daily Study Plan

Every day we tell your child exactly what to practise, based on their target test date and weak areas. No decision fatigue, just steady progress toward the selective test.

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.

Full-Length Mock Tests on Computer

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 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.”

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
