Year 3 Course
The OC Trial Test Course helps students make real progress and build confidence for success in their OC Placement Test
The OC Trial Test Course (OCTTC) is designed for Year 3 and Year 4 students preparing for the Opportunity Class Placement Test for Year 5 entry. Through regular computer-based trial tests, guided review and targeted follow-up practice, students become familiar with the examination format, strengthen their test-taking skills and build confidence under timed conditions.
The Opportunity Class Placement Test is computer-based and comprises three test sections, with all questions presented in multiple-choice format.
| Test component | No. of questions | Time | Weighting |
| Reading | 14 (3 questions have multiple parts to answer) | 40 minutes | 33.3% |
| Mathematical Reasoning | 35 | 40 minutes | 33.3% |
| Thinking Skills | 30 | 30 minutes | 33.3% |
Committed students enrolled in the OCTTC course will access simulated questions closely mirroring the actual exam format. Additionally, the OCTTC is designed to support students preparing for the Opportunity Class Placement Test. This course offers a unique approach that harnesses students’ skills and motivation, helping them build confidence in a high-stakes exam environment
Our Computer Based Test format is intuitively designed, providing students the opportunity to refine their exam strategy, increase test taking accuracy and showcase their potential in the actual exam.
After each testing cycle, our exam reporting system allows students and parents to collaborate with teachers during the review phase. Our dynamic report can allow for the identification of student strengths and weaknesses.
Services for OCTTC
Workbook that contains vocabulary list, practice questions, different text type and its questions, and jumbled paragraph questions will be given in class during Reading test weeks. Module answer of this material will be provided for OCTTC students on the first day of the week. To download the answer file, go to ‘Material’.
The Vocabulary Practice Test is an online test on Cyberschool, based on the essential vocabulary list in the OCTTC English Workbook. With eight vocabulary questions in Part 2 of the Reading test, a strong word bank has a direct impact on results. Test words are drawn from across the entire list, guiding students to master every essential word — a foundation that also carries through to future Selective preparation and writing.
In our classes, teachers utilise the Smart Review System to provide a comprehensive review for students. However, our extensive experience has shown that even after attending review sessions, students often struggle to retain what they’ve learnt. Rather than simply presenting the same questions again, Pre-Uni New College enhances students’ skills by allowing them to retake tests focused on the questions they previously answered incorrectly. To further support their learning, Pre-Uni New College provides each student with a Retest Challenge, dividing all incorrect questions in to sets of 5. This approach ensures continuous improvement and better retention of the material.
Once students complete the Review Challenge, which is composed of questions they previously answered incorrectly, additional practice is provided. For Mathematical Reasoning and Thinking Skills, students receive 5 extra questions each. These additional questions are intentionally more difficult, aimed at further enhancing students’ analytical abilities.
During the MR/TS Challenge period, the Mastery Check feature also activates for high-performing students who achieved a Top 25% ranking in Mathematical Reasoning or Thinking Skills. This allows eligible students to review up to 10 challenging MR/TS questions they originally answered correctly to confirm their reasoning and strengthen understanding. (The number of Mastery Check Questions varies based on overall test averages.)
For Reading, after finishing the Review Challenge, students are given an additional full set of Reading 1+1 practice. This allows students to engage in more comprehensive practice, further strengthening their reading skills.
