Wesley College’s scholarship test is hard. If your child has an upcoming scholarship test at Wesley College 40 Coode St

The last thing you want is for your child to panic on the day when they face questions that they’ve never seen before.

Because of the huge financial incentives involved (usually in the 1,000s of dollars saved) and the number of test questions (students usually need to answer every questions in 60 seconds or less) - it is a seriously competitive test that makes children anxious and parents worried.

It depends on your child’s current level. We have prepared students from 1 to 12+ months before the exam.

It is not uncommon for many students to prepare more than 12 months ahead of the exam. It is a test after all and one that is high stakes.
