Your child is in Year 2. The OC clock is already ticking.

In 12 months, thousands of families will sit the OC placement test. The ones who perform best are the ones who know exactly where their child stands right now.

Students placed at James Ruse, North Sydney Boys, Baulkham Hills and more.

Most parents don’t realise how big the gap actually is.

Your child might be doing well at school. But the OC test is not school-level work. It separates the top 5-10% of students in NSW.

“Doing well in class” is not OC-ready

School grades measure curriculum compliance. A child can top their class and still score below average on an OC-style reading passage.

Thinking skills are invisible at home

Abstract reasoning is not taught in schools. Your child may have a natural strength or a critical blind spot. You cannot tell without assessment.

12 months of effort, on the wrong thing

Without knowing the specific constraint, parents spread effort evenly. The real bottleneck never gets the attention it needs.
