Melbourne High School entrance exam

Melbourne High offers Year 9 (ACER) and Year 10 (Edutest) entry. Year 10 entry at Melbourne High School is an Edutest exam. Year 11 entry is a separate Arts and Humanities intake, by application and interview, not this exam. Edutest hasn't published the 2027 dates yet. In 2026, registration closed on Friday 29 May and the exam was on Monday 15 June. Edutest charges a registration fee for each school application. Check the current fee when you register.

Year 10 applicants also send the school's application form and supporting documents, due on exam day.

Year 10 uses five papers: Mathematics (60 questions, 30 minutes), Numerical Reasoning (50 questions, 30 minutes), Verbal Reasoning (60 questions, 30 minutes) and Reading Comprehension (50 questions, 30 minutes). The multiple-choice papers have five options. Written Expression: 30 minutes plus 5 minutes of planning, per Edutest. Edutest doesn't announce the type of writing in advance, so practise both creative and persuasive pieces.

Year 9 entry is a separate ACER exam. Applications open in March 2027. ACER hasn't published the 2027 dates yet. In 2026, applications closed on 24 April and the exam was on Saturday 20 June.

What the practice tests cover

Year 10 entry is five Edutest papers.

Free diagnostic, then the question bank

Start with the free diagnostic.

Then practise on the clock. Mathematics is 60 questions in 30 minutes. Numerical Reasoning is 50 questions in 30 minutes. Verbal Reasoning is 60 questions in 30 minutes. Reading Comprehension is 50 questions in 30 minutes.

How to run a practice week

• One timed mathematics or numerical-reasoning set, then review every miss. Without an error log, students repeat the same mistakes at speed.
• One verbal-reasoning or reading set, timed. Untimed runs hide the pressure of 60 verbal questions in 30 minutes.
• One creative or persuasive piece: 5 minutes to plan, 30 to write.
• A full five-paper mock only after the section times are familiar.

Month-by-month runway stays on the exam guide and the Edutest exam guide. This page is the drills.
