What is the course format?

What is HAST/ Edutest?

The Tests (HAST and Edutest) is an aptitude test developed that is used specifically to transfer to selective high school.

Do I need to train for the selective Transfer Test?

Yes! Even high – achieving students stumble at the test. Some students with perfect Year 7-8 grades have missed out on a test due to their lack of skills in certain areas.

8 lessons of specialised coaching for HAST/Edutest required in many Selective school Year 8+ entry applications

Thank you Pre-Uni New College for your dedication toward us students. Over my past four years at Pre-Uni New College, I’ve been shown what a good tuition company really is, with excellent and well-made questions from STTC and well made textbooks from WEMT. North Sydney Boys High School would’ve been impossible for me without Pre-Uni New College.
