Common questions

Is this an official selective test?

No. It is independent practice material and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or produced by the NSW Department of Education, any other education department, ACER or any test provider.

Do the questions repeat your free tests?

No. Every question, text and puzzle is original and none repeats the free practice tests on makekite.com or repeats inside the pack.

How were the answers checked?

The maths answers were worked out by a program and checked by hand, the ordering and logic puzzles were solved by a program to confirm a single answer, and the information texts were reviewed for accuracy. A parent or teacher should still read it through.

Can I use it in my classroom?

The licence covers your own family or one classroom. Please do not share the file with other teachers or upload it anywhere.
